Default New to forums, in market for s2k

Hey guys,

My name is Sam and I am 27 years old from sunny Los Angeles, CA. In the past I have owned a 2008 HR 350z, 2012 Mustang GT 5.0, 2005 Acura RSX Type S, Yamaha R6, Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R, and a couple of other fun cars that I enjoyed modding. I am in the market for a AP1 S2k, and extremely excited to be on s2ki to learn as much as I can. I know the search button will be my best friend for a while, until I get the hang of everything on here, and I already feel a apart of the s2ki family even though I don't have the car yet which is great! I really miss the noise of VTEC kicking in on my Type-S, and I thought why not get a s2000, to not only get the vtec motor, but have the RWD feeling of my Z again, and even better a convertible for these great sunny days here in Los Angeles!

I will keep you guys updated on when I find my beloved AP1 s2k!

They are really great cars and I have owned one since May of this year. The simplicity of the AP1 interior and the raw, connected to the road experience is what drew me in. Everyone who knows me thinks I have gone mad because my background is American muscle cars. Now I am looking to add a 1978 Datsun 280Z to my garage.

Yes I really prefer the Ap1 over the Ap2 especially due to the 9k rpm band as well. I can't wait to get the perfect one! Also the Datsun 280Z is an amazing machine that you will enjoy as well! Good luck on your search for one.

Oh man, you guys are making me miss my 75 280z. I never should have sold it. It had CRX seats, tociko shocks and springs, sway bars, strut tower braces, poly bushings. I loved that car.

As soon as the guy a few blocks away is ready to sell, it's mine. Could be next week or it could be ten years, who knows. It's a beautiful silver car that doesn't need much at all. He has my number and my fingers are crossed.

Fingers crossed for you! It will be a great addition to your family of cars!

Definite neck breaker! Such a sweet ride!
