Howdy everyone!

Picked myself up one of these fine automobiles. It’s incredible fun to drive this on twisty backroads near my house. This one comes with a few mods like Ohlins R&T, ap1 flywheel, new clutch, front swaybar, hankook rs4’s and a handful of other little mods. ~110k miles

I just love the way the car looks, its simplicity in lines and proportions, the revvy engine and mechanical gearbox. Wasnt looking for the ducktail spoiler but I really like it too! Yep I looked specifically for Suzuka Blue, one of the rare people that likes them! Something about this color during the day is just magnificent whether in full sun or in the shade.

Already been gettin’ the tail out a bit on some corners

Nice to meet ya’ll!

It’s not rare to love Suzuka Blue, especially blue on blue, it’s a very s2000 color….congrats!

Default Welcome

Looks like a really nice drivers car. I’ve heard the Ohlins suspensions are great, when I’m ready to replace my stock suspension that’s what I’m looking for.

where do you live? Roads look nice

Bay area. If you're around here I can show you some amazing roads in the mountains.

The Ohlins are great. I've set it up to be quite a bit stiffer than stock, 12k/10k. So far on twisty, smooth roads, it's been amazing. The drive back home on some bumpy roads is another conversation altogether. Still trying to strike a good balance, I might go back to 10k/8k springs.

If you go for the Ohlins, either get rear lowering cups if you keep the stock suspension so you can set the right preload setting while maintaining good ride height, or go for 12k/10k springs. Just know that those aren't great on rough roads.

I thought those roads looked familiar. I’m in the Bay Area also, and just picked up an ‘05 in the same color as you
