Had an AP1 that I drove through 6 winters; my AP2 is on its second winter. Hands down, the S2000 has the toastiest cabin of any vehicle I've ever owned. The heater emits serious amounts of heat after just a couple of minutes of driving, and when fully warmed up, you need to turn the heat setting and the fan down a couple of notches or you'll (literally) roast your feet. Windshield and side windows stay completely clear even when its -30 (like today), and can't remember the last time I used the rear defroster.

I'm likely in the minority, but I wish my S had the headlight washers that everyone in Europe seems to hate...the headlights are grime & slime magnets that need constant cleaning.

Nice...my 01 was NFR. Hitch is an unusual mod...just chance, or was it on your "wish" list?

The previous owner was an autocrosser, so he had already added the swaybar for running it in stock class, and the trailer hitch for getting the r-comp tires to and from events. Only thing it is missing is a good set of shocks, so I will probably add those to my shopping list.

I'd be interested in your shock choice...

Money limits me to Koni Sports that are custom revalved by ProPartsUSA. It ends up costing about $2000 for set by the time you pay the UPS ransom and have them installed. The ideal choice would be custom valved Motons or Penskes, but they cost significantly more

All I see are what look like standard Koni Yellow Sports on the ProPart site...will yours be fully custom according to your specs, or are they a standardized autocross setup?
