Default S2K acquired!

Hey everyone,

After years of lusting after Honda sports cars (started as a kid) and VERY nearly taking out a massive loan to buy a 91 NSX last month, I decided to finally bite the bullet on a 2004 AP2 Silverstone. Check it out next to my buddy's FR-S:





The car is fully stock except for Bilstein PSS9 coilovers and has 61k miles. The Honda will be my weekend/track car, not my daily driver. I have a 2011 Audi A3 2.0T S-line 6MT for that!



I'm looking forward to learning and sharing experiences with you all!

P.S. I went over a fairly steep speedbump earlier and heard a loud clanging sound after the front tires went over it. That should've been the side skirts or front lip hitting the ground/bump, not the undercarriage, right?

Welcome to the club! I can tell you after having three of them over a five year period, I am STILL addicted! You will learn real quick! I am sure you will enjoy it. Funny you mention the NSX, this car is 90% of the NSX for 1/3 the price. I was seriously looking at an NSX years ago and drove a bunch of them but couldn't warrant the price difference after owning an S2K. Happy motoring my friend!

Welcome. And that speed bumb most likely hit something under your car. Maybe the header Anyway, avoid those speed bumbs like they are the plague.

Also, nice interior!

Well a big part of wanting the NSX was for its rarity and looks, not just the performance. That being said, I'm glad I didn't bone myself financially. The monthly payments on the S2000 are easily manageable. I will almost certainly have an NSX in my future garage, though. It's my dreamcar.

Yeah, the bump probably hit my exhaust. Shouldn't be a problem if I take the bumps angled and at a crawling speed, though, right?
