Hi guys.

Happy new owner of an AP1!



I've wanted an S2000 ever since I had this as a nine year old:

From 1:18 to 1:1

I also own a Lexus ISF and an Evo X.




The turn-in and overall steering response of the s2k is bonkers. However, the turn-in on the ISF, especially after solid LCA bushings+Penske coilovers is just as impressive. S2k does take the cake for steering feel, though.
Out of these cars, I guess the AP1 is the closest I'll get to the LFA for a while...

Thanks for the heads up. I thought it looked less than...sleek. I get big wind noise at 60mph+.
Definitely something to look into.

I just turned 25 (May 1st) and currently only own 1 S2k.

I am looking to buy a house and an ISF or IS350 in the very near future.....so I would also like the answer on how you own 3 cars so young.. let alone 3 relatively expensive cars!!!
Please share your ways

Someone installed a top, but did not strap the rear bar to the chassis. So your window is probably not sealing.

Glad you're enjoying the car!

I think your soft top is actually a Robbins top, since it originally came with the plastic rubber back window. I also have a similar shape on my soft top where the back of the top looks like its sticking out a bit. Congrats on the purchase though!

Also, how are all you guys finding his age hahaha
