After snooping around and reading the forum for about a year I finally had the chance (and money) to purchase an S2000. I seriously looked for about 3 months and found one that was what I thought to be a good deal. $10,600 for a 2002 Suzuka Blue with 99k. It's not perfect, a few paint blemishes and chips on the front, but mechanically it's perfect. I've had it for 2 days now and checked the fluid levels last night, all's good! So happy to finally have my dream car! My first order of business is going to be to replace the rear tires, cahnge the oil, tranny, and diff fluids, remove the front strut bar, and take off the awful drilled and slotted front rotors and replace them with some better slotted ones. I'll also put some better pads on the front as well.
Oh, and I found last night that it doesn't have a battery tie down, so I'll be ordering one of those today also, along with black OEM floor mats (which it had but weren't Honda mats, so they slide around all over the place).
I'll also be washing, waxing, and detailing the exterior/interior, and applying protectant to the convertible top with the 303 protectant.


Pics to come later.

I finally got a picture that I can post, but it's pretty crappy. I'll have a nice DSLR once Christmas comes, but until then it'll have to be snapshots/mediocre shots.

Apparently I can't post an image, not sure why.
Okay, I figured it out. :/
