Hello everyone! My name is steve, and i just bought a used 2005 siverstone s2000 with 57k miles. Let me just start off by saying WOW! I love this car. I used to live in california, and i had an s13 coupe w/ an sr20, then i sold the s13 and bought an S14 kouki. About 2 years ago i moved to colorado. I sold my s14 and bought a 2005 STi. The sti was a great car and i loved it, but for some reason it didnt satisfy me. So i wanted to get back into a rear wheel drive and im VERY happy that i choose an s2000. I need to buy a beater for winters up here in colorado, but im ganna start off by changing the tranny/diff/oil fluids. Anything i should worry about with having an MY05 with 57k miles on it? I got the car for 19,500, but its in excellent shape! The beautiful headlights do have a foggy look to them, i buffed it with plastic polish and it got a little better.I hvae a 4 year warrenty with it, do you think honda will replace them? I look forward to meeting you guys and learning more about this car. Thankz









quick pic of my 05 sti

 

Nice, where do you live in Colorado?

 

Thanks. I live in Centennial, but im moving to the pinnery in parker May 3rd

 

yep thats a nice looking S i also had a sti and it just didnt do it for me. the S is a bad ass car and u will get ur rocks off to it, welcome to the forum!

 

Nice. Former 04 Silver STI owner to a Mazdaspeed 6, but I did own both cars at same for a while. Very different vehicles of course, but I can understand the switch. the STI never could cut it for me as a pure fun car with it's toyish looks, and negative attention. It did make for one hell of a thrilling daily commute and winter car though. You got yourself a pure sports car now with much better looks, and although the STI is a boatload of fun in itself, there's just something special about this pure single trim sports car roadster.

It always bothered me when I used to see an old woman driving a silver RS that looked like my STI. Enjoy!!!

 

pick up some bumper plugs and your set!

 

Another former Sti owner here - well i'm in the process of getting rid of my 05 - I miss the power sometimes but the car handles great. I love the s2000.

 

thankz guys! im really excited about this car. Oh and the bumper plugs will be on very quickly

 

Welcome! I'm sure you will enjoy you new purchase very much

 

Congratulations on a good decision!!!
