New yellow AP2 owner from Canada.... god I love this car!
Figured I'd make an actual introduction now that I'm harassing current member about various issues/mods/etc haha
I've been in the market for an S2000 for 10 years haha. I picked up my EP3 Civic new from the Honda dealership 9.5 years ago and there was a rio yellow AP2 in the showroom and from then on I new I wanted one. I almost pulled the trigger a several years ago but it never happened. Bought a house then moved to a new house which also delayed it another couple years but I seriously started looking last summer. I was trying to sell my modded Ep3 to purchase the S2k which was difficult but finally this spring I was finally in a position to acquire an S2k and keep the Civic (for the time being, its still for sale).
Anyways I've been searching throughout Canada for a yellow AP2 and there was literally nothing until one finally popped up with 9k km's (5500 miles). After some negotiating (over a month) we finally came to an agreement and I picked it up last weekend. Had a 3 hour drive home and I couldn't stop smiling. The car is literally brand new, seat show hardly any wear, carpet looks new and the exterior in perfect minus a couple minor dings. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Couple pics from when I got home.
Plans moving forward are OEM lip, some interior CR bits and get all the maintenance up to date and then just enjoy driving it. I want to avoid over modifying it, like I did with my Civic and then never end driving it anywhere.
And in case anyone cares here's a couple pics of my Civic. I'm the original owner and it has 98k km's on it, pretty much just sits in my garage now. And yes I have a small collection of wheels haha.
And as it sits as of today.

Hope it doesn't have the original tires on it. If so, they're probably dry rotted, so be careful and replace ASAP. Congrats and welcome!
