Default Round 3: final round

As some of you (and a lot of s2ki) might have expected I'm back again. This time it took me even less time to realize I didn't want another STI. At this point I'm pretty confident it will be my last time in one unless it's an addition and not replacement. I loved the car but it just wasn't a s2000. I had the last two STIs for a combined total of less than a year.

This time around I decided not to blow all my money on the nicest, lowest mileage s2k I could find. I got very lucky and found one with reasonably low miles for a Honda (79k) and it's definitely in very good shape. In 2012 I got married and bought a house and I just don't have the extra cash flow to blow on a car like I used to. Plus there are things I'd like to do to the house/garage.

Car is a 2006 with just a hair over 79k miles. Previously owned by another Mid-A member. Thanks Chelsea It's completely stock except for the Espelir springs and upgraded speakers/head unit.




Don't expect this car to be modded much different from the last two. First things I'll be buying are another Recaro and some new suspension. Just trying to make up my mind which coilovers I want.

It's already clean but I plan to do a once over and really get every last crack and crevice on the car. Stay tuned for more pictures!

I'm glad to be back

Good to hear you are back! So many of us have come back to the s2000 I am starting to think that Honda is releasing chemicals in the AC to keep us hooked like addicts.
