Default 05 NFR Introduction

Just picked up my 05 NFR on black S2000. I previously owned an 04 STi. I'm enjoying the ride quality, tight handling, fit and finish of the honda. The car is a lot of fun to drive.

I'm working to get to the track a few times over summer. If you live in NoVA give me a wave.

Here are a few pictures:











Cleanest engine bay I've ever seen!


New RE070 255 on the rear

Nice pick up!

How many miles?

Looks as if someone took the liberty in getting the CR lip for you.

Great color too.

39k miles

Yes, that would be the CR lip that the previous owner put on

New soft top within 5k miles, the RE070 were put on the day I bought it.

Typically when I purchase vehicles I think to myself with about 2-3 solid days of detailing and fixing this or that little detail I'll be happy with the car. When I purchased this vehicle it was obvious the previous owner was as anal as I am. Door jams, underneath trunk lid, engine bay are all immaculate. The paint feels just as smooth as the exterior.

Hard dog roll bar coming soon.

Did the previous owner mention why he took the emblems off of the fenders?

Since you are anal, I am sure you checked the carfax.?.?.

Any other plans other than the Hard Dog r/b?

Carfax came back clean. He said he was originally going to put the black CR side emblems on but never got to ordering them. If this car was in an accident then whoever did the bodywork did outstanding work. The body lines all match perfectly, all have equal spacing, and the have the original VIN stickers on them.

After the hard dog roll bar I'm looking into the Bilstein PSS9. I think that will be a good match to my needs from what I've researched already. Comfortable for daily driving with the ability to handle track driving after some adjustment.

Thanks for the compliments
