The provebial "barn find"
Hello...
If anyone thinks the proverbial "barn find" is a legend your only read about in magazines, then read on... It happened to me a few weeks ago.
A friend of mine told me about an S2K stashed away in a barn of sorts. He got my attention, after all I knew what an S2000 was all about (it certainly has F1 DNA!) and while not exactly actively "looking" for one I was not about to pass on a pristine high performance automobile. So the more we talked the more curious I got and eventually I made the decision to purchase this gem. So here is my new toy:


My S2K is a late production 2003 model - with 4,726 miles on the odometer. My S2K still wears its original Bridgestone tyres, still has the "break in" oil in the crankcase. The all-red leather interior smells just like the day it left the factory in Tochigi and the Sebring Silver is stunning. I put it on a lift this past weekend and the underside is just as clean as topside: no evidence of ever being driven in the rain.
I was a little skeptical about the all-red interior. Dang! It is RED!! Even the radio door is red. But... The more I admire it the more I like it. This is what it looks like...


I realize you might think I am pulling your leg on the mileage. "Without pictures, this never happened", right? Well...

I've only had a few times to get her on the road since I got her but so far I am really impressed! This machine is amazing - VTEC is a thing of wonder!! If you like to read more about it: Click HERE first and click HERE next.
Time permitting, this weekend I plan to change oil. Next I plan to drop all the remaining fluids and replace them with new stuff. I am also int he process of deciding what to buy for a new set of tyres. I really don't feel comfortable driving a high-performance automobile on 10 year old rubber. Any suggestions would be welcome - I was thinking about a set of Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1's or BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp2's.
