I've previously owned a blue S2000 (AP1) a few years back, it cost me the great sum of £4200 back then. It was a bit of a dog with the ripped rear window and a damaged roof but I replaced the roof with brand new one. Also had all the rust removed and the car undersealed. Unfortunatley not long after I had to sell it for £3200 due to moving home and the costs involved, regretted selling it ever since.

With saving up I finally bought another AP1 in the same colour and I've had her since Sept 2018. I didn't think I'd afford one again because of the prices going up so much.

As regards the new S2k it's having a few things done but will hopefully be a quicker project than the previous one.

Can anyone suggest a dual cat-back exhaust that will make the S2k sound more grumbly but not drone? from reading the posts the Skunk2 seems a nice option.

Also how do you guys rate the magnetic sump plugs off Ebay for £5?


Tanabe Medallion Touring. I went from an HKS hi Power to the Tanabe. A world of difference. You can youtube for sound clips. But I think its perfect.

Hello all. I 'm not a 2000 owner but have admired them since they first came out. I have a friend that does have one and he has been telling me about all the fun stuff you guys do. I have to admit he is correct. Hope to join you on some of the trips.

Hello everyone. Long time s2000 owner in Myrtle Beach. I have a 2002 Berlina that I bought brand new!! Still love driving it. It’s has kinda taken a back seat to my other project cars. But as of lately I’m getting the s2000 itch again. Looking forward to starting some upgrades to it.

Heya, figured I'd introduce myself so I can maybe PM Billman about a TCT a little sooner lol. Just got my 2001 with 105k miles on it 2 days ago now.

Bought it from a guy that also had a clean FB rx-7, and a manual Corolla wagon.

My main plans right now are preventative maintenance: oil banjo bolts, the TCT, all fluids. The interior is a little rough, Florida car all it's life and it definitely looks like it spent a lot of time outside and/or with the top down, so I need some new seats and a good detail as well. After that I'm thinking about maaaaaybe going turbo. It's definitely tempting. But I'm super happy with the car right now, and I hope to have it for quite a while. It's only my second car, after a piece of shit '91 240sx.

Hello All,

Read the forum in the past, but decided to join up today. I have a '03, stock except for a intake to improve the engine note a bit. Second owner. Bought it from a co-worker that treated it like his child. Needs a good cleaning/detailing. Looking to improve the rim situation this spring and perhaps a slight lowering. Also have a little red light engine idle stalling issue I have to figure out.

Raced a '93 Integra in Lemons/Chumpcar out of Columbus Ohie area for 10 yrs. Taking a break and decided to wrench on the S2K a bit.

Looking forward to enjoying the summer with the top down!

Hello the name is Kenny. I bought my 02 Suzuka blue s2k with 125k for my birthday back in September of last year and I love it. There's a few low end mods but nothing too major and nothing was done to the engine so it runs like stock one. Glad to finally be in the s2k community! Edit
