Default First time S2K owner

Hi fellow S2k lovers -

After 4 months of lurking this forums, I finally pulled the trigger and bought eXstasy's gorgeous 2006 GPW S2000. It's my first Honda and I couldn't be more excited. Immediately upon picking it up, I took my girlfriend up for a weekend in Napa and she now loves it nearly as much as I do. The car is mechanically stock, and I'll most likely keep it that way. Though I am thinking about an HKS exhaust after hearing my friend's. Previous owner was kind enough to get it aligned to UK spec before handing me the keys, and I'm already signed up for my first autocross in a couple weeks. Looking forward to years of racing, meetups and modding.

Hey there Welcome and nice car

I love the white ones i was looking for one myself but ended up buying a red one because it have 19000km wen i got it and i don't regret mine at all

Make sure if you start modding it that you read allot on it because this car is so spot on from the factory that you can actually regress it if you don't pay attention to what you do to it

Take care!

It's -1 degree camber, 0 degrees toe in front, and -2 degrees camber, .4 degrees toe in the rear. From my understanding, it's a good starting point for track tuning.

Thanks! I agree, these cars are so dialed from the factory that there's not a lot I feel the need to do. I'm going to take it easy and spend some time autocrossing and getting to know the car before I get too crazy.

I certainly wouldn't have minded if I had found a red one, especially with miles that low!
