Default New Owner from Aus, Sydney

Hey Guys, I am a new owner of a custom respray Pearl White Ap1 2001 Honda S2000 from Sydney Australia. I've always wanted an s2k since Fast and furious and recent occasions when Mighty Car Mods did a modified build one. Before purchasing I also researched a lot of reviews on Youtube and many were very satisfied with the experience which lead my "dream car" to be real. For a 15 year old car, I thought it would be impossible to find one without too many kms although I found one with OK kms. This car is bought with 145km (90098miles). There are a few on the market, but the colour of the car immediately caught my eye and I always wanted a White car. It was definitely a difficult experience finding one without many mods and thrashed engine.

Since owning the car, has been such a different experience as previously owned a Mazda 3 Front wheel drive hatchback. There are a few maintenance tools and driving techniques I will have to learn but I am very satisfied with the drive so far.

Below is a link of the car with DC5 Wheels - to be changed to TE37's in the future as many people rock the RPF1s
My S2k

Also looking at purchasing a OEM Hardtop or any other - btw, if anyone does know where I can purchase and have this installed this in Australia, if not internationally, please don't hesitate to comment, will need all the help

Looking forward to learn more about the car through the forums and meet people.

The car looks stunning with the wheels it has! Why mess with TE37 wheels?

Since you mentioned MCM, did they every publish the dyno numbers after they put the Invidla Q300 exhaust on the car a few months ago? I know they dynoed the NOS but was hoping the other numbers were there.

Hehe, I want to change the appearance of the car since the previous owner. They have a small S2K club here in Aus, just didn't want them to see the same car with different owner TE37's are awesome

About that, I hadn't taken much notice, they do provide many links of the car online and on youtube.
