Default Attainable dream car achieved

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself! I'm a relatively new car enthusiast as I discovered my love of cars last spring after my Honda CR-V got stolen. I started researching cars and fell in love! Ended up buying a 2nd gen Lexus IS350 AWD for the daily. Then picked up a NA Miata to do track days with. The plan was to stick with this garage line-up to develop myself as a driver, but then I Turo rented an S2000 and absolutely ruined all other cars for me. The Miata was very nimble and fun, but I just missed the exhilarating S2K motor every time I drove her. So I sold the Miata and picked up this 2005 Suzuka Blue. It's at 120K miles and has an awesome service record (Carfax shows dealer service every 5K miles). Completely stock except wheels/tires. Did a full detail, windshield replacement, all fluid swaps, valve adjustment, new rear tires, and wheel alignment. The plan is to keep her for 5+ years as a weekend/occasional casual track day car.

Looking forward to becoming part of the community!

Well, aren't you lucky.

You might want to consider the rear wheel axle nut adjustment, especially if you might track the car. Rear Axle Nut TSB - DIY - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

Thank you! I will look into this after I put some new S-04's on them tomorrow.
