Default Finally got an S2000!

Well, today I finally got my S2000! I paid $16k for it. Best part though, my insurance for full coverage(accident, medical, fire, flood, + extra money in case someone tries to sue) is only $50/mo, because I can stay on my parents policy until I graduate from law school!

MY01
44,150 miles
NFR
Exterior is bone stock

Engine mods:
Vortech Supercharger
Hardtopguy's reinforced diff with 4.56 gears

Interior is all black

Car is immaculate inside and out!








I've just been taking it easy so far. It's my first RWD car, so I gotta get used to it. I've gotten on it a couple of times, and man is it fast!! I love it! Still on the stock clutch, but it doesn't slip at all.


Few questions:

Came with a testpipe as well, but not on the car. It is just running on the black box from Vortech for now. Will I run lean if I put the testpipe on? Same question but with an aftermarket exhaust?

Blower has been on for about 9,000 miles now. New diff has been in for about 1000 miles. Tranny fluid, oil, and diff fluid were all changed right before I bought it. I know to use MTF for the tranny.


Where would be the best place to find seat locks, and an OEM AP1 lip?

That's a nice price considering it has a sc and gears. PM Kodokan_4 for seat locks

Nice S.

I wouldn't mind trading "down" to a S/C AP1 with gears

Even though I love my 05 NFR sans S/C and gears

Well I am glad you are happy with it so far, I hated to sell it, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't have wanted to buy it but I am glad you did.
Well let me know if I can ever be of any help.
I do have the sales slip from htg that I will send down with the test pipe.
thanks

Jeff

Check with your local dealer to have an OEM lip ordered.
