your car looks cracking mate If you are wanting to replace the tyres on your car as they are old iv came across some absolute beautys! I bought my S2000 about 3 months ago and it had the OEM Bridgestone potenza RE050's fitted and it used to let go far too easily. I've just fitted a full set of Hankook ventus V12 Evo's and now its awesome, even to some extent in the wet, which lets be fair is not the s2000's strong point!

Enjoy your new purchase anyway

For those who asked about price I PM'd you with it. Thanks for the tip on the Hankooks. I am signed up to track the car next month. Looking for rims and possibly slicks (hoosiers). Picked up some Megan lowering springs to drop the car 1".

I was quoted $450 to swap out all fluids: Brake (Dot 4), coolant, MTF, and Diff. Does sound high to you?

Yes. I had the diff and trans done for $110 at a dealer. Figure $25 for oil, and $60 for the brake fluid. That brings it to ~$200, so $250 for a coolant drain and fill?

I would think it could all be done for ~$300. Call the closest 3 dealers and compare prices.

If you changed all your fluids yourself you could do it for under $100.

Not sure what the law is like over there but I had an EP3 before my s2000 and a DC2 before that and took them both on the track but used road legal semi-slicks Toyo Proxes R888 and they were awesome! NOT good in the wet tho!

GTFO n00b. The OP is asking fine questions for a situation that comes up rarely. Oh, and would you look at that.... he's a paying member....

OP - GREAT find! I'm almost sad that you're going to be adding miles on it, but the car was made to be driven. Enjoy!
