Welcome to S2KI! You don't have to own an S to be a member. You just have to part with 20 USD.

BTW, what is a shaved rear key hole? This sounds like the beginning of a KaiWang thread...

Welcome. Wow, that's a lot of mods. I can see from your Civic you're going to enjoy being an S2000 owner.

Hello!

Yes, I have spent a butt ton of money on my Civic, which is why my wife is getting it instead of me trying to sell it. I had bigger plans for the car, but this Honda dealership I used to work at is offering me a deal I can't refuse on an '05 S2K. I am looking forward to getting one; I know the car has much more potential. It will be interesting to see the power difference. I think my Civic will hang with any stock S2K on any straight-away, and probably on a road course for that matter.
