Hello from Latin America
Hello all! This is my first post, and I'm very happy to say that I'm the owner of a 2005 Silver S2000. I live in Panama, Central America, and even though it was a bit difficult to find, I was able to buy a 40k miles car at very good price. Wish I could have found a more stock one, but that would have been an even harder task, as I believe there are no more than 20 S2000s in the entire country.
I've always been into cars, specially Turbo ones, as my project car is an S13 with a 1.8T engine, and my wife drives a JDM Turbo Outlander, but I wanted a fun N/A car I could daily drive, and after reading a lot about many different cars, I narrowed it down to the Honda S2000 as my first option. Even tho my wife is also into cars, she opposed about the idea of me buying a Honda, never having one before, but after about a month or so of having the car she has grown to like it as much as I do. She still complains about me cleaning it so often, something I haven't done with any of our other cars.
Several mods done to it by the previous owner(s) which include K&N filter, Exhaust, Stage 2 Clutch, Eibach Springs. Interior is in fairly good conditions and the only really bad thing about it is that it had large CE28N wheels installed, therefore the rear fenders were rolled and the fender dust liners are broken because the tires rubbed towards the front.
I'm done with the Hubs Retorque, Clutch slave cyl regrease and pedal adjustment, unclogged nozzles, defogged left headlight, new wheel lug nuts and complete wheel alignment. Next on the list: new spark plugs.

Thanks for the warm welcome! 
I think it's paint on the wheels, as I can see some scratches if I look closely.
Did my first ever engine clean up with some Gunk Foam and Shine. Quite happy with the results

And a little bit of topic, but I'll post it anyway. After almost 2 years waiting, here is my recently rebuilt Nissan engine. Don't regret the wait tho, as it got me into buying my S2000.
