hello there S2Ki members.. newbie here trying to put myself out there and get as much help from this community as possible. been in love with speed back when i was watching fast and furious and making the rev noises and air shifting. been through 3 vehicles (BMW 528i, ford escort, mazda miata) now ive had a civic for the last year.. after doing a couple drift with a friend of mines who had an AP1, i fell in love with the s2000.. i spent the last year doing extensive research on the s2k and decided that this year around september i would get my hands on one. did too much research lol... compared the s2k to the 350z (heavy ah fuhhh), the huyndai genesis (not a teenager anymore), the rx7, the supra (getting one of those), the nsx (runs circles round the S), the GT mustang (piece of crap), WRX STI, mazda speed 3, and the evo... just did research and more research. but now that im in the USCG and have the funds and knowledge im getting this overpowered Go-kart.. im interested in getting a 03 ap1 cuz thats nice. so just introducing myself. also if there are any s2k owners that are near the miami beach area and would like to be a wealth of knowledge to me and help the new guy learn the art of the s2k(driving style, correct shifting ways, etc) id gladly appreciate it (even criticism).

The wealth of knowledge is here at S2KI. Good on ya for choosing the S2000. I would say 'be responsible' but then I wouldn't be following my own advice (<- spoken like a newly addicted S2000 crack head).

I too went between a 350z and a S2k....

Bottomline there is just no comparing the two. S2k is handsdown the most fun I've ever had in/on a two seater, This is coming from someone who rides a cbr too.

thanks guys...ive had a lot of good experiences with the S, only thing i found not to my liking was the offset...i plan on getting Volks TE37SL or just the reg ones... but in concave look, but those and the S dont get along.. to that fact ive been doing research on fender flares, and such.. found some nice body work to add (ASM) probably fenders that can add like 50mm (newb to wheels and offset btw)
