Hi everyone, after buying my S2000 (upgrading slightly from a mk2 1988 vw polo) I thought I could make my introductions. Am loving the car, although have found it pretty daunting in the snow (using my polo to get to work in the bad weather) - I found myself losing the back end without acelerating, braking, or turning when the snow was bad so thought better not to take the risk!

Have not seen a single other one around these parts (Lincolnshire) since buying it which adds to the appeal slightly

Phenominal car to drive, silverstone with the red leather - many years of happy motoring ahead I hope!

 

Welcome

There are a few around that way I think

 

Welcome

 

Welcome. Good to see another local. Good color combo

 

Thanks guys. Am getting some new tyres tomorrow - apparently bridgestone have discontinued the old recommended rear tyres so I have to buy a complete new set even though only the rears need replacing ?

Never mind had a fantastic blast with the roof down yesterday to get the best value from the old tyres , nothing too crazy yet though as am still getting used to the car - the upgrade from a 1.3 banger which I've owned since I was 19 to the rwd honda is still putting a huge smile on my face but don't want to give the insurance company any reason to hit me for even more cash!

Is it recommended to take the s2000 to a track to get the feel for the limits if you are a new owner? I've seen that quite a few people are for it but I've heard some horror stories from people who have sorely regretted tracking their cars...

 

This thread is very informative about track days in the S2000

Tracking the car is a must

I wouldn't worry too much about replacing all 4 if the fronts are good.

 

Welcome


Looks a nice one!

 

Thanks for the advice and the great thread re track days, just roll on the good weather now!

 

you're also handy for Centre Gravity if you are ever interested in having the geometry checked.
