Hi everyone.
Bought this a few months ago. Gradually working through a few issues from the previous owner leaving it sitting in his garage for too long.

Smile Original S2K Owner Here

I bought my red Honda S2000 new back in 2003 and (so far) have put only 62,000 miles on it. (I have other vehicles.) I joined up hoping to meet other owners for outings and road trips -- any excuse to get it out of the garage for more than just a drive around town. I live in North Central Washington, where the sun mostly shines and the roads are wide open.

Congrats on the purchase. I recently bought a similar car with 80k on it. Curious what the market was like in your area?

I can tell you one thing. I find excuses to run errands on sunny days now.

Hello, everyone! I just purchased my first Honda S2000!

It's been long overdue to be honest. I've owned a good number of cars (closing in on 30), 4 of which were Miata's. So now it's time to give Honda's roadster a try.

I didn't want to spend too much because I already have a 2011 Audi S4 as a daily. This would strictly be a weekend car (possibly track car if my friends and I can pull some resources together).

So I looked all over Craigslist for the right one for the right price.

2001 Honda S2000
203,800 miles on the odometer (Title branded: Not-Actual Mileage)
It was originally Silverstone Metallic, but it was repainted Dark Cherry Pearl
Modifications include: Megan Coil-overs, ESR 18" Wheels with stretched tires (not a fan), no-name cheap intake, not sure if OEM front bumper with definitely not OEM lip, random accessories like battery tie-down, shift knob, radiator stays, antenna delete, etc.
Paid $6,750 (Advertised as $8,000)


Onto the pictures!




I know if I spent a bit more, i could of gotten better, but I wanted something cheap so we can tinker with. So why spend an extra 4-5 grand for 70k less mileages when I'd want to rebuild the engine, swap out bushings, overhaul interior/exterior anyways?

The priority right now is to do perform some basic maintenance and get a baseline of completed service history other than what the previous owner told me:
New wheels/tires
New Brake pads
New rear axles

Hello! Bought an 04 Rio Yellow back in December, and have been fixing its problems ever since. Battery, Map sensor, Propeller shaft regrease, all exhaust gaskets, TCT, coil pack, inner axle CV swap ( still need to do this ) Axle nuts, Trunk rust, New propeller shaft bolts. but the driveshaft is clunking when applying throttle or changing gears, so that needs replacement next. Way too much play in the shaft imo. But the compression is spot on @ 126,000 miles. 250,240,240,240
Just did a valve adjustment ( 3 times actually, had it done @ toyota and it diddnt come out too well )

Look forward to bugging you guys

Default Hello


Hello all,

I’m the second owner of an 04 BB with 84k. A lady purchased it new from Honda and traded it in to the same dealership. So far I’ve done basic maintenance fluids etc. I’ve been to an S2K meet in my area and love the community so far.
