New owner (Staffordshire, UK)
So after my Integra caught a premature case of engine death due to a slight mis-shifting error, it's been sold for an amount of money that made it hard not spend the difference on buying an S2000 rather than fixing it. As a result of this and 2 weeks of searching every classified ad possible, where I found every car that looked decent to have been sold and adverts not taken down or the cars still there very tatty and facing some potential big bills in the near future.
Then fortunately this appeared on eBay and I was the first person to go and view it, after coming straight home from a night shift, viewing the car and heading straight to Le Mans and going to bed 37 hours after I woke up Tuesday afternoon!!! So possibly not the best mental state to have been in when buying a car
It's a 99 model AP1 S2000 Japanese import, half leather interior, stacks of receipts, the bodywork is immaculate bar a small parking dent on the rear 3/4 panel and a small repair done on the roof. It's recently had all the bushes replaced with Powerflex/Mugen items, facelift S2000 17 inch wheels with Bridgestone RE050 tyres and a cat-back Mugen exhaust. All in all so far a purchase I'm very pleased with, and can't wait to collect it Saturday.
No real big plans for the car other than a de-cat pipe, rear lip spoiler, possibly a small rear diffuser, a spot of lowering and a front lip spoiler, think something along the lines of aiming to look like a factory special edition rather than an obviously modified car. But nothing will be done in a rush, need to recoup some finances first after taking a the hit on the Integra.
Here's a couple of snaps I took when I went to look at it last week and a couple from the ebay add. Some decent pics will be posted soon. Here's a few quick snaps I took a couple of nights ago, apologies for the poor quality they were taken on my iphone.
