My childhood dreams of owning an s2000 have finally come true. Still young at only 19 but I have wanted an s2000 since its release. Thursday that dream finally came true I had given up on buying an s2000 for a while because I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much money on a vehicle at my age. So I was going to buy a 1977 280z for 4k and everything was set and I was about to go pick it up when I receive a text that its been sold. Next day I get a text that a friend of mine knows a guy selling his 2000 s2000. 134k miles and with some tasteful mods the price at 8500 was a bit of a good deal. I dont know what came over me but I wired the money to my account and bought the car that day.

Heres the car since I know you guys would much rather look at pics than here my lame story haha
The car is by no means perfect when you get up close but from a distance she looks good.
I am having one small annoying problem. I always let the car warm up and it has 3 bars so engine temp is not the problem. I can have shifted at 9k a few times and then a few minutes later the car will cut out at 6k and throw a CEL. The car does have a VAFC2 tuner on it but the previous owner(a honda tech) never had this happen to him.Dont believe I have done anything that should have caused this, any ideas?

 

Welcome, have you checked to see that your oil is full?

Nice color combo and yes I would check oil first

 

Welcome!

 

Oil level is good. coolant stays right at 190 degrees. Car hasnt done it since so until it happens again I guess I will chalk it up to the car had new owner jitters.
Been over a week now and I absolutely loooooove this car. It is everything and more than I ever thought it would be. I do not think I will ever sell this car!

 

congrats on the buy! just recently bought mine as well(2003 suzuka blue)..so i know the feeling of finally buying this car..wanted one since they came out as well
