Default Introduction & The New S!

Long time lurker! Figured I'd finally introduce myself, my previously owned ap2, and my newly purchased ap1!!!!


Little bout me! I'm an ASE certified & Toyota certified tech. Recently relocated to Tampa, FL from Wisconsin about 3 months ago. Purchased my first s2000 roughly 2 years ago. 2005 Rio Yellow. Absolutely loved it! However I lost my job and kinda fell into a slump so I decided to part with it .

Things are on the up n up again and I've been in the market for another s2k. I had found a 1 owner 2007 NFR s2k bone stock for 18k but the owner over the last 4 weeks was very slow on making the transaction happen. few days ago a customer traded in their 2002 Sebring Silver W/ 87k clean title!His loss! Mechanically its pretty sound. Needs a little TLC but no biggy. The car was hard to pass on because of the price! $9200!!!!. The soft top is in great shape along with the interior. The car has an ap2 front bumper cover and appears the amber corners have been removed from the headlights. I NEED AMBER CORNERS!!! The front bumper cover and left fender were painted but its pretty obvious the shading is off. Not sure when ill get around to addressing that

Future plans are to go boost. Have a pretty good stack of money in the car fund left over for this one . On to pictures....

2005 Rio yellow in amazing shape with 79k I sold it for $16,000

Even the yellow Hummer hints that yellow is still the best color.

Lol.

Welcome

I was damn sure I wanted an NFR, or GPW. Every day though I like Rio/Spa more & more.

Welcome to the forum man. What HP goals do you have?

Welcome to the forum man. What HP goals do you have?
I love and miss my rio yellow. Def stands out and got me a lot of looks.


My goal is roughly 425whp on 93 for now. Kinda have my eye on the Kings Performance stage 1 turbo kit. Bonus is Kings Performance isn't too far from me either. About 1.5hr drive. Little bummed out there's no pump e85 around here in Tampa that I can find lol!!! Its everywhere back in Wisconsin lol. Little run down on what Im pondering....


Kings performance stg 1 kit w/ BB 6266 (Have intentions of increasing power down the road figured go bigger on the turbo.)
ID1000's
FBM 340
AEM EMS V2
CC stage 4
Berk 3" exhaust (modified to accept down pipe)

Good stuff. KINGS Performance is actually 5-6 minutes away from my house. Right next to the barbershop I go to.
