Nice pick up, yes theres plenty to do out there. How are the road condition in Hartford? I lived in greenwich, and i dont think i would do springs if i still did, sure its nice to be dropped without doing coilovers but you sacrifice so much ride comfortability i dont know if i would do it gain if i lived out there...

By the way may i suggest an Airwalker lip instead of the OEM one? Just a thought, its all up to you.

That airwalker lip is pretty cool looking but a bit much for me. That and I already have the lip on my door step at home from trusty UPS lol. The suburban hartford area roads arent bad at all - have had my share of lowwww cars and never had any issues really. Looks like u made the right choice moving down south btw, wish i could do the same!

I honestly think he got a good deal on this. A few years ago I paid $13.8 for my 02 with 75k on it, so a NFR 03 with that mileage as long as its in good condition is a fair price in my book. The later 02's and all 03's are the best ap1's since they have a lot of little extras over the 00-01's (upgraded oil banjo bolts, glass soft top, rings in taillights, leather console, and usually dyno 10hp higher due to the different ECU, ect).

To the OP, post some pics of your new s2000, we would love to see it!

I got ripped off on Shipping from Texas thats for sure lol but other than that, it was the best price from a dealer I could find.

Up here in CT, theres not many of them for sale. The ones I found were 05+, and like 20k which I will not pay for a used car. It had 1 owner and passed inspection, etc. My bank quoted retail to be 15k around here.

Only pics I have of it are the ones on ebay from Texas Direct Auto lol

I got my 2004 w/ 40k miles on it for 12k but it had a front end collision at one point. All the lines were still good tho.
Yea here's the info homie. I dont think you overpaid by that much, how are the lines on the car? Has it been in a collision? Did it come with any mods, and like Suzukua_blue-s2k said, post some pictures!!


Yea here's some info on Wake The Dragon not enter the dragon sorry


Wake The Dragon Thread This is really a beautiful meet to go, it will be my first time as its my first year with the s2k, but its miles and miles of curvey hillside roads, photo opportunities at amazing spots.
