Default Hi from France, new member

Hi all!

I finally decided to join the s2ki community!

I'm a 28 y/o guy from France (Paris), and I've owned my S2000 for around 8 months now.
I'm a happy owner of a nice MY01 AP1, Silverstone Grey, with around 38.000 km (around 24.000 miles) on the clock.




I'm a member of the french S2000 forum (www.s2000-passion.com), but wanted to join s2ki as well since it's a gold mine of useful information!
Thanks guys, your community is great, and we often refer to s2ki in France
Keep it up!

I'll present my car later on a dedicated thread.

See you!

kramouyou

an exhaust or a set of wheels is still stock in my book, easy to go back if you wanted to, needed to.
boosted, roll bar, rolled feeders, suspension monkeyed with, BBK, etc is what I am talking about.

Thanks guys,

Well, the car isn't 100% stock, it just has the "fun kit" fitted on: CAI, catback, coilovers and strut bars (for more smiles per gallon).
I have ALL the OEM parts in my garage, so I can fit'em back if I want to.
But yeah from aesthetic point of view, it is stock (excepted short radio antenna).

My plan is to keep the car like that, it is perfect as such. Don't wanna mess with airplane spoilers, turbo kit, etc...

Maybe an OEM hardtop and a second set of rims with semi-slicks in the future, but that's it. I don't wanna do anything that can't be undone. This car is a collector now...


And yes DaGou, the S2000 is a very rare car in France! Less than 600 were sold in 10 years! You see much more Ferraris and Lamborghinis than S2000s (unless you go to JDM car meets).
