Hi everyone, I'm a proud new owner of an '05 GPW S2000. My name is Will and I live in Gainesville, FL.
A little about the car:
Its in great condition with 27,xxx on the odo. She's GrandPrix White with Tan/black interior. The previous owner curbed the wheels some and seemed to have slacked with upkeep but she is in good hands now. My current plans are to do simple things to get her back in pristine shape. Need to replace the shift knob & give it a really good clean & wax. Then I'll move to preventative maintenance just so I know everything is up to date. I'll also need to replace the front tires soon. Only real modifications in sight are Ipod hookup and I'm considering an intake (I know there is probably no power gains but I'm not used to such a quiet motor!). I'm also looking into the OEM front lip and flush trunk spoiler, along with other simple add-ons (like a tonnaeu cover). After I pay her off and have a different DD, she will definitely be seeing a complete overhaul. But keeping it stock for now.
A little about me:
My name is Will and I live in Gainesville, FL. I'm currently a student at the University of Florida and I am set to graduate with my B.S. in May. I plan on finding a job and pretty much immediately starting my masters online at UF.
Previous Cars:
I'm making a transition from owning 3 Preludes (all 4th gen, 92-96). My last was a '93 Vtec model that I had owned for a few years. She was red with all your generic bolt-on modifications. Really clean though, at least by most standards. She tragically met an awful fate when a wheel came off on the highway (I don't know how it happened, I know for a fact the lugs were tight 2 days before). So I decided to part her out and go ahead and buy the car I was wanting to get after I graduate.
Well that's probably way more than anyone wanted to know but I'm doing this instead of studying for a test that I have to take in 6.5 hours. I'll eventually become a very active member once classes stop consuming my life. Between them and my 2 part-time jobs I hardly have time for anything.

Hey everyone!
My name is Ryan. I'm no newb when it comes to hondas. I've owned a 98 integra for nearly 6 years and the car is almost not streetable anymore. My thirst for horsepower has led me to be driven to RWD and the s2000. I love my integra but after driving an s2000 last weekend IM SOLD! It was the most fun ive had in a stock car EVER!
A good friend of my dad is a veteran salesman at Honda here in town and he is currently looking for a berlina black s2k for me as we speak/type lol.
About me: I am a aerospace welder during the day and custom turbo kit fabricator by night. My s2k( when i get it ) will receive the same turbocharged treatment that my integra has.....
See everyone out there!
