S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

STI to CR?

Actually, I still regularly eat cheap food.

$5 footlong most working days will be both lunch and dinner.

Bushings are going in the BRZ... coincidence?

Wasn't me...

I'll usually do a nice meal once a week or so, but the rest of the days are all sub $10 meals. I had a turkey sandwich for lunch today. On Rye. With red onions, alfalfa, pepper, mustard, lettuce, and mayo.

Nothing you can't make on your own...

i have both:


if i had to pick one, based on personal factors (location, what i do with my car, living situation, etc.), i would probably turn towards the CR. i like to drive cars to enjoy them, and the enjoyment factor certainly goes to the CR.

I like how they are both white. Nice! How is cylinder #4 treating you?

LoL


I made the mistake last year of ditching my 06 LBP S2000(I was the original owner), and bought a new '12 STi wagon in white. Loved the car, but after a few months I realized I was missing something. So I ditched it and got into another S. Would love to own another one as a fun family car, but that just won't happen anytime soon considering we already have a '10 Pilot & '13 Fit.

hahah it's still running. it's all stock (no plans to mod the engine), so if it were to blow, i have the warranty to back it up.

My biggest concern is if I can drive the CR comfortably. I'm 6'2 and pretty slim. The regular AP2 seats hold me way better than the STI. And i only live 2 miles from work(seriously) so mileage wont be a problem. Just not sure if I can take such a loss trading the STI in.

If you were comfortable in your AP2 you should be at least as comfortable in a CR. I feel like the hardtop liner is less intrusive than the bows for the soft top and the seats are the same frame, but they're cloth so you don't slide around as much.
