Default Hey whats up, new here.

It all starts 2 weeks ago, i had a mint corrado SLC with an obscene amount of money and parts into it, thought i was going to keep it forever....
that is until i drove a buddies S2k, then i realized it was everything i wanted my Corrado to be and something it could never be so i sold it this morning.

I have been reasearching s2k's ever since i got home from his test drive and i will be getting one in the upcoming weeks.

I am in the market for a higher milage AP1 (70kish mi)

1. What should i look for when test driving,
2. what common problems do they have,
3. What are some of the more expensive maintenance thigns and when do they usually surface?
4. why do somany s2k's ahve upgraded clutches in relatively low miles???

Please bear with me i have been a VR6 guy since 17 (almost 23 now), had a 350z lease for a bit, so Hondas are a whole diffrent world to me and this site is huge.
Ive searched but allways helps to get more info.


some pics, car had 83k miles, probably one of the cleanest SLC's on the east coast.


Electronically controled suspension

(dad's Lightning and R32)



With a corrado, you often look like this.

Corrados are sweet cars, I remember topgear had an episode of future collector cars and the VR6 corrado and the Merc e190 cosworth were two of them. Hope you find a good s2k.

Negcamber gave a great response, lots of info in there. I'm taking the lazy way out, just pasting up a link to a discussion from last month. Good luck, nice veedub.
