Default NEW s2000 owner!

Hellozs to all, Hi my name is Scott i just turned 25yrs old and just last weekend bought my 1st s2000. She is a 2001 white with red interior. Upgrades done so far, or waiting to be installed. front lip painted to match car, slotted rotors on all four corners, HKS HI power dual exhaust, 2009 CR edition 17" rims, skunk 2 springs, rear glass mod with limo tint, K&N GEN II intake, Seibon AUL carbon fiber cooling plate and a dual front strut tower brace.

My next part will be a carbon kevlar hardtop, then going FI. Not sure if i want to buy the "Full Race" kit or have a local shop build a kit for my car.

I have been wanting to buy one of these cars ever since they came out. I remember being 14yrs old and going to the dealership with my brother and ever since the 1st time i seen this car i knew i had to own one. well a house several cars and a motorcycle later i finally own one. needless to say it was worth the wait. i love everything about this car (except the soft top) and i am very glad i sold my sr20det s13 and bought a s2000.

I also cant wait to start going to some s2000 meets and getting to know some of you guys/gals.

Awesome color combo! My first choice really, but so hard to get a hold of.

Congrats!

hellzs yeah on the color, I absolutly like mostly all vehicals white. Right now I have 2 white honda's, 1 white suv and my gsx-r is white and blue. I didn't know that this color was hard to find though, that makes me like it even more. Although now that I think of it I haven't seen 2many white ones around.

The best thing I like about the car is the ability to take coners, its truely amazing how well a almost stock suspenshion s2000 can handel. On a bad side note I know I'm going to be buying tires every two months.

I was thinking of upgrading to the tein flex coilovers with the EDFC. I found a place for around $1700 for everything shipped. Are any of you guys running this set up and can y'all think of any better ones I should go with. This car will be my daily driver and will most likely never see a track day but will see lots of twisties kinda like the dragon. Maybe y'all have some better ideals on which coilover system I should run. I don't want to spend more than $1800.

I looked though the seat thread but got tired of reading, does any1 know which drivers seat I should go with. Id prefer Bride or Sparco models only. I'm 6 feet tall and 140lbs. So I'm pretty thin any good advise is very much welcomed.

Also I was wondering what is the widest rim, tire and offset I can run on front and rear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
