Hay guys, i made this account awhile ago but im just now getting around to post. I dont have an sk2 yet. I been wanting to start looking for a second car, that was rwd and a coupe. So I was looking at either a 01-04 m3 or a sk2. After looking at m3's seams I could buy one but maintance on it is though the roof, so now im set on getting an sk2. I have owned hondas befour, 90 accord and 02 civic si, im an older member on sho.com, how i found out about this site. But im passed and done with the little cars so im stepin up to the big honda lol. Im hoping to have one inside a year, so im just here mostly to get info on any common problems, maintance and general cost of owning one. So ill see you guys around in the furture.

 

Welcome! Good luck with your search.

 

honestly the cost in maintaining this car is pretty close to any other honda

 

the biggest cost associated with this car is the mod bug.... If you can avoid that, it's just tires. If you prefer to keep the high performance tires on your S2k, they can be pricey Past that, I've found maintenance to be pretty cheap.

 

and welcome.....

 

lol ya i know that one. Im currently there for my wrx. Got about 8kish into it right now. But thats good that maintance is low, this will be a good car for me to get then.

 

& welcome!! May the mod bug bite you as well!!

 

Welcome...the mod bug is aggressive around here. I pride myself in staying OEM until I just got the new stereo. Now I want intakes, rims, etc.

You'll enjoy the s2000

 

Well i know i wont stay stock, im going to get it rims, I/H/E and a protune just to bring out a few more ponys. Get a hard top , and mabey a strut/spring combo for a nice ride, since i want this to me my weekender kinda car, something i can take the date out in.
