Default Just picked her up!

So I've been looking for a daily driver to take over for my beloved Evo. Concidered a variety of different cars, but the S2k just called to me.

I found a 2004 w/ 8k miles on it at a Lexus dealership in Ontario. It was 100% stock, had new rear tires on it, and came with the hardtop. Got it for a steal (I think) - $23,800.

All I have to say about this car is AWESOME. I'm really loving this thing. It handles great, looks great, and is just fun to drive... it also gets good gas mileage

I'll be taking it to Malibu today w/ my normal crew. Hope to see some of you guys up there. I'll make it to one of the Torrance meets soon too.

- Dan

Thud is completely normal. Just slow down your shift.

Can't remember exactly what the dyno numbers for AP2 should be, but I seem to recall HP being a bit higher (a little over 200). But, the DynaPack probably measures differently than the Dynajet. This was my plot from a DynaPack:
