Well, I'm new.

As you can probably tell from the name, I currently and have always had a little yellow CRX, for the past 7 years to be exact. My first car when I started driving and it's been a great car ever since. It made it through all the crazyness that occurred in highschool, and made it through college (with it's share of mechanical/electrical problems), and now I'm working full time. I remember seeing a commercial in 99 or 2000 for the S2000 and turning around and saying to my folks 'I want to get one of those!' That was the beginning of trying to figure out how I could afford one, but the truth was I couldn't. But since I graduated and am now making some money (and no school loans thanks to my folks and scholarships) I can finally afford one. I have never driven one, but I rode in one at an autocross two weeks ago and just loved it. It's a big jump from my CRX, but it's all in getting used to the car. I'm looking to buy one around September/October time and just want to get some input from current owners. I'm leaning towards the 2002 or 2003 model years. I don't want the issues I'm hearing with the Clutch valve, and I don't want the heavier flywheel. I also like the 9000 rpm redline!



P.S. Answer my pole if you have a chance, thanks!

I really like my AP1 and for the price you really can't beat a AP1 in terms of value.
