So I've had the S for a little over a year and I'm still in love with it. It's a daily driver and my only car. I play drums in a band that gigs fairly often and I use my tire trailer to carry my mountain bike to the trails. Here's a little history of my ownership that should be a good heads up for newbs:

-Bought the car with 15k on the clock and no warranty.
-Started auto-xing the car 5 days after purchase
-Found a spring spacer in the right rear shock. Doh!
-Found the source for a few interior rattles and solved them with simple dampening solutions
-Purchased comptech adj. front sway bar and some R comps for auto-x
-still have clutch buzz but it doesn't bother me
-just got some hard top strikers and the car feels like new with no wind noise and no latch rattle
-just started to have vibration in rear inner CV joints. I'll have to swap joints this winter

So after about 40 auto-xes and 150 or so clutch dumps with R comps the rear diff is still taking a licking and still ticking despite the rumors of it's fragility. Sure the inner CV's have pitted but that's better than a diff explosion.

... and I still love to drive home from work. I look forward to many more years of top down pleasure.

Peace

 

That's awesome to hear man...glad you have enjoyed your S2000

I've never auto-x'd my car but I sure would like to one day.

I also just bought MY02, trading in MY00 at a dealership in South Atlanta actually...I drove all the way to Atlanta from Charlotte to buy a Suzuka Blue one

 

I hear ya dude! This car is a blast and I BELIEVE I will still be luvin it until I get my next one, and then I'll be luvin that one!

I can't believe what I do just to drive it alittle more... sideroads, long-cuts, any excuse to take it out, topdown wherever, etc etc.

BEST decision EVER!

Greetings man! Two suzuka's made back to back I'm sure

 

Just about. Certainly no more than a week apart.

 

150 clutch dumps? You must share your secret

 

a spring spacer in the rear shock after 15K miles?!

that previous owner must've been happy to get rid of his S because-- for some reason-- the rear would just break loose too easily.

 

it will be a year for me on dec 26th.... but yea im still in love with my S as well

 

It is refreshing to read a post from someone that has drivin the car hard and has had very little problems with it.
