So I acquired a 2003 S2K in Silverstone Metallic with around 65000 miles (108000 kms) around a couple of months ago. But I just realized that I never got around to posting an introduction in this forum. I've already used this forum for help on some issues I've faced with the car. My broken knock sensor and getting the master OEM key fiasco. The knock sensor broke within about 2 days of owning the car. Talk about timing. I've also utilized the forum in buying a couple of used parts. Stock airbox, replacement knock sensor, etc.

Anyway, I'm upgrading from an SW20 MR2. Well I'm not really sure I can liberally say upgrading lets just say changing. It's interesting comparing these 2 cars from an owner's perspective. Cause one would think they're quite similar, but up close (metaphorically referring to their overall driving experience), they're quite different.

The S2K is pretty much stock other than the Volk Racing GT-7 wheels, rear spoiler (not sure what brand? Maybe OEM?), and a "high" performance (it's red so It's definitely high performance ) cone filter with no airbox! (the thing was just dangling in their).

List of stuff I've done for the car since buying it (I know most people wouldn't care about this but I'm just posting it so it helps me to keep track of what I've done):

• Got a stock airbox to house the filter in
• Replaced broken knock sensor
• Got used OEM floor mats
• Got a brand new master key and keyfob cut as the car only came with the valet key
• Got OEM tools for trunk (It didn't come with any!)
• Changed tranny fluid, diff fluid, and engine oil with Honda MTF, AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W110, and AMSOIL 10W30 Sign. Series, respectively.
• Full detail to clean her all up!

Additional things that I wanna do to the car are:

• AUX input for the stock radio (thinking about this option)
• Valve adjustment and replace retainers with AP2 retainers
• Air intake (thinking about K&N FIPK)
• Possibly exhaust in the distant future (though I'm quite fond of the intake sound with VTEC at the moment)

And now for a couple of pics:



Annnd a pic of the MR2 just cause :


Anyway, so that's my prolonged introduction. Happy to be a member of the forum .

 

Welcome, interesting photoshop on your rear plate.. In pic 2

 

Welcome! Sounds like you are on the right track and are putting this forum to good use. That does appear to be an OEM rear deck spoiler. Very nice photos BTW.

 

I was thinking about the rear bumper where the licence plate sits

 

Thanks! They were taken by a pro with pro gear so I can't take full credit.

Yeah, I was pretty sure someone is gonna notice that right away. I started with blurring the license plate and then somehow it escalated into that. I know it's kinda obvious but I was interested in seeing how it would turn out.

 

Welcome, nice AP1

 

and welcome....

 

Welcome!
