Default Formal introduction of my '02 Sebring Silver!

So I don't think that I have formally introduced myself here on S2Ki. I've been active (sort of) in the regional section for my area, but just now starting to get a bit more active since I figured out how to navigate through the site, I'm used to vbulletin forums so this is a bit different.

Well anyways, I picked up a 2002 Sebring Silver S2000 in February. Prior, I've owned a 2006 Honda Civic Si Coupe and a 2005 Scion tC. I do have to admit, this is the best car that I've driven and owned!

I probably would have owned a Honda sooner had I understood what VTEC actually was, but then again, I may not have the experience from my prior cars.

Have to admit that S2K owners are pretty mellow and easy going, love the community and appreciate all the help that you guys will provide should I make any posts about issues.

I'm in love with my car and this time I think I am the b**** in the relationship.

Current Mods:
-Infinity Kappa Tweeters and Speakers
-Painted Ap1 Rims w/ polished lip
-OEM AP1 Lip
-OEM Hood Vents
-Mulder's Mod for headlights (Slightly altered)
-AEM CAI
-PLM Header
-70mm Tsudo Exhaust
-70mm Invidia Test Pipe
-Skunk2 Lowering Springs

Here's a couple of photos of my prior cars and the work I've done. I've become mechanically inclined from building my last motor in my Si, although I ended getting rid of it anyways. Hope I am able to share random knowledge, although it seems as if all of that is stickied and already mentioned.

Welcome! (officially)
It looks like you continued to upgrade until you got the "right car"! I'm glad you got rid of those awful chrome wheels. If I bought an S with those on it I would have it towed home to avoid being seen driving it, and park it in the garage until I got other wheels.
I love the full red interior Definitely an 02 rarity!!
If you ever have any questions feel free to ask! Threat her well!

Thanks! Yeah I debating on that, but I had to drive 480 miles to get my car so towing wouldn't have been pretty LOL. The only thing cool about this wheels was the rear width, prior owner ran a rear of 255 which had great handling lol.

So far treating it well, oil changes every 3k-3.5k, checking fluids often etc.

Installing 4.77's next week. .
