Default WOOOO HOOOOOOO!



hi all! just want to say that i fell in love with s2000's when i drove my friends white with red int. ap1 back in 2004. they have always been on my mind. 2006 i purchased my first manual, a 1997 ek hatch with civic type r motor. two years ago i bought a 2000 civic si. for the past year i have been searching for an s2000 ap2 of course. I am in love with the front fenders on the s2000, such a great design.
anywho, ive been searching for some time and i finally came across one that was worth bidding on. it is a berlina black 2005 with black interior with 7880 miles on her.
I won the bid at 22,599.00. i believe this was a good deal and i am so happy to be flying to the owner and driving her back sometime this week. my girlfriend is so mad at me right now but you know what.....I needed this car and thats the bottom line. i hope to get so much knowledge from this site and i will be chiming in here and there. i cant wait to get her. i cant seem to transfer pics yet but i will. does anyone know if the 09 cr front spoiler will bolt right on to the 05 front bumper? i think the front ap2 bumpers are all the same but not 100% sure. thanks again

congrats, i made the jump to an s2k after being tierd of the limit of FF cars have and i just needed a different driving experience. just remember ITS NOT A CIVIC, which means 1)parts arent cheap, 2)making more power isnt as easy or cheap, 3)keep it clean,keep it classy.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT DOESNT DRIVE LIKE A CIVIC so in other words youll crash it if you dont pay attention to the car i,e tires ect ect


Enjoy it

i suggest you set-up a chiropractor appointment when you get back...your back is going to be killing you after a 1,000 mile drive

Congrats on the purchase. Only problem I had on my 2200 mile road trip is that S2000s are invisible to truckers, so stay attentive to other vehicles on your trip.
