Default Just got my first S2K

Its an '04, sebring silver, just under 65k miles, red/black interior, and nearly perfect condition. i paid $15K for it. 100% OEM, was an older mans "retirement car". he bought it CPO from a dealer, makes me the 3rd owner. He kept it in his garage, but he got tired of struggling to get in/out of it, and is sick of it sitting. when we first checked the car out, it literally had cobwebs in places they shouldn't be. had a wasp nest in one of the wheel wells. a couple door dings and paint chips, but nothing i cant get fixed for $100. hes only managed to drive it 1000 miles since his last oil change December of 2013. I had it towed into the shop i work at, changed the oil, added some fuel injector treatment, and did an induction service. just took it for the first real drive, and im in love. also, just ordered my K&N FIPK intake. still considering if i want to get the HFC and invidia q300 cat back, or coilovers..

looking forward to meeeting some people and learning everything i can about our amazing cars!

Congrats and welcome to the Forums!
I remember when I first got my s2000 two years ago the first mod I made was getting a K&N FIPK Intake

The intake makes very pleasing sounds. I put my money on Bridgestone RE11A tires. Handling is more important to me than drag racing.
