Default New upstate NY RYP owner

Hello everyone,

I'm the proud new owner of this beautiful 05 RYP S2000 with 28k miles. It was stock apart from the Skunk2 lowering springs, which I reversed with HKS Hipermax IV GT coil overs yesterday evening (not shown in picture). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to drive it much as the tires are trash and one has a screw in it. I've been using the downtime while waiting for tires to tie up loose ends like replacing the sagging shift boot with a CR one. I'm located in upstate NY so the 6spd 04 TSX in the background will remain my daily/winter car.

Very nice and has some extra OEM parts, where in Upstate NY are you? There are a few events up here in Canada and some NY owners make the trip.

Yes! I think the front lip and rear spoiler give it a nice look. I live in the capital district but have a friend in Ontario so I may take the trip sometime.

If I ever were to own a yellow car, THIS would be it. Here's to many happy miles! I can't help but smile when I look at the photo of your car and start imagining what it would be to open my garage door and view a Rio Pearl S2K-don't get me wrong, I love my Silverstone but maybe she/he/me would love a stablemate.

Agreed, I've never been a huge fan of yellow cars but this is different and I think its my favorite for the S2000. It really grabs people's attention... I've only driven it a half hour or so and already have people waving and yelling things to me.

This particular yellow on this special car works perfectly for me. Number One on a very short list of yellow cars.
