Default my first honda!

Hello everyone, I just bought my first honda (silver '05 s2k). I've had it for a week and loving every moment i can get behind the wheel.
A little history of my self. I've always loved sports cars and convertables. I used to own a 3rd generation eclipse spyder ( ) and a '03 evo. I loved my eclipse but never really liked the evo. when I finally sold it, that very day I went and bought my s2k. Back when I decided to sell the evo, I was already looking for another car to buy. At first I wanted a 350z, but when I went to test drive one, the dealer had an s2k sitting right next to the z and I tried both. I forgot all about the z after that. I also looked into getting a solitice gxp, but again all I could think about was the s2k. I've owned ff and awd cars, so the honda is my first frwd car. Its a bit diffrent in the turns, so I'm taking it easy till I feel a bit more comfortable with the understeer. I was spoiled with allwheel drive, but its not as fun. I'm looking forward to picking your brains on this car.

Understeer? You should have gotten used to that with the EVO and Eclipse. The S2000 doesn't really understeer....It usually oversteers.

Yeah, Thats what I meant......... , I get those two confused all the time. Thank you for the welcome, I'm looking forward to meeting and asking you guys some questions. I'm not looking to making my car a track whore or a straight line rocket. So far I'm enjoying the car "as is", but what ideas have people gone with?
