I have purchased my first S2000 after truly adoring these cars for about 18 years. In high school a friend of mine purchased an S2K, after a few casual curves with rear wheel drive and more power my b16 powered CRX felt ill equipped. He had a lot of respect for my budget build of a fun, "fast" car vs. purchasing one, but of course his S2000 got all the attention. Anyway, the car is much more affordable for me as a 34 year old so BOOM!
The '02 S2K had 93,000 miles when I purchased it last June and currently has 97,000. It was very well maintained on a mechanical level and was garage kept for most of its life. The paint is in great shape, excluding the front bumper and lip which has typical road rash / rock chips.
I have some simple plans for the car in the near future, but for the most part I am focused on enjoying the car and honing in my driving skills. Here is a shortlist of the vehicles current mod state and some plans.
Current Mods...
- Greddy Exhaust & Tein Springs
- Extra set of AP1 wheels soon to be powder coated dark bronze for autocross / track cross
Near Future Mods.....
Basically my signature graphic
- OEM (or replica oem style) side strakes and rear spoiler
- xpel paint protection wrap on OEM hardtop
- window tint
Future (no real timeline) Mods.....
- upgrade suspension
- upgrade braking system
- replace stock head unit & speakers (current OEM works great but who uses CDS anymore.....bluetooth or aux)
If anyone knows of how to keep OEM head unit and install Bluetooth or AUX let me know. Seems like MODIFRY used to make an adaptor for aux but is no longer available??? Please educate me!

For the headhunt I recommend purchasing the Alpine UT-73BT (or something like that). Its a headhunt thats 100$ or cheaper depending on sales. Modify makes a plug and play bracket for Alpine headhunts as well as a DCI control unit so that you get to keep OEM control functionality. All in all should cost you about 225$ and an hour or so of work to put it in.
