Hey guys new S2000 owner here, this is my 2nd S though but never signed up before on here. I bought it July of last year. 2002 SSM 78k miles when i got it. I also drive a civic wagon. Hope to meet fellow S2K owners here. Now, onto the car, all stock when i bought it and later on bought tein flex coilovers and Injen CAI.

The day i bought from the dealer. I previously drive a Honda Si(EP3 next to the S2K), sold to a friend and bought this S2K, both deal were made at the dealer.

Recently, the stock AP2 V1 wheels were traded to my friend and added cash to get his aftermarket wheels. Now it's getting refinished.

Hello, Jer here,

Pre-joining at the beginning of what I hope will be a fairly short search for my first s2k. I have a line on a very nicely kept one, but won't know for some time if it's available for purchase, so until that question is answered it's read-up time.

I just traded in my '12 Acura TL for a '13 Subaru Legacy (2 kids need a family hauler) to free up cash for the s2k, I've been admiring them for years ever since I saw my first one so long ago, was looking at one of the FRS/BRZ twins, but I think I'll let that platform mature a bit before looking in that direction again.

It will most likely just be a backroads cruiser, but there may be some room for an autoX or track day in given time. Can't wait.

Hey s2ki! I just drove my 2008 GPW red/black interior from a San Diego dealership back home in Los Angeles. I absolutely love this car. I can still remember when I sat in a s2000 at the LA car show in 2003 and now I actually own one! I just want to thank the S2ki community for providing such great information and tech about this car. It made the process of buying the car super simple. Hopefully you guys will see a slow build thread soon. What a great community

Hey there, new to this site. I just bought my first S2000 yesterday and I'm super stoked. I've been wanting one for seven years, love how they handle and look. I'm new to all of this, so I'm looking for guidance as well. Hope to create a masterpiece and take her on the track. It's nice to meet all of you.

Hi everyone, I just picked up my '99 berlina black beauty three weeks ago. It's been my dream car ever since it came out and finally I got it (age mid 30s so it took some time!). I'm in the UK, so haven't had the chance to try it roof down, but I'm looking forward to those two sunny days this year. Even with the current weather, my commutes put a huge grin on my face. So yes, I'm a happy man and I intend to stay this way. The community here is amazing, I've learned a lot about this amazing car! Keep the comments coming so us mere everyday mortals can learn the ways of this incredible car!

Hello to all. I am just checking in as I have been an S2K owner for exactly 2 weeks. She is red and topless; the S that is. She is an 04 with 59998 miles when we started our relationship. She is bone stock if you don't count the k/n cone filter in stock box and upgraded stereo. I love the way she handles as is so I plan on keeping her stock for as long as possible. I am in Phoenix, AZ area so I am looking for a few S owners out here to talk shop and possibly go on some road trips.

Hey guys, Im Justin and I live in East Texas. I've been searching for the right S2K for a while now. I finally found what I was looking for from a member on this site. Im the proud new owner of a 2001 Silverstone S2000 with only 12,000 miles on it. I haven't taken delivery of the car yet because it is 1500 miles away but it is paid for. I look forward to learning some stuff here. Cheers
