Default Newbie in an AP1

well...i will admit i am a subaru guy at heart...and have owned 2 previous Hondas that have been great cars. recently traded my 02 wrx that was making around 400whp for this s2000. its a 2003 silverstone metallic AP1. 123000 miles but runs like a top. and speaking of a top it could use a new one. but i love this car. honestly one of the most fun cars i have ever owned. not brutal straight line speed like my WRX was but its unreal in the corners! anyway here to learn a lot, heres some pics. its lowered on tein springs on momo revenges that im not crazy about...so they will be gone soon (or made into autocross wheels). ordering coilovers this friday and a catback which it desperately needs. anyway on to the pics!




headlights need buffed and the front has a bunch of rock chips in it...and a new top...but other than that its a good solid car.

Nice to see the comparison between the Scooby. I assume there is a big difference in gas consumption too?

Yes. On the interstate the entire time I was averaging 23 mpg going easy on it. But with the S I got 29. So not bad at all. I miss the power and the subaru rumble but I'm pretty happy with this car
