Default New owner S2000 GT 2007.

Hi all.

So 2007 black GT on 76k, full honda service history. Totally standard. A bit of tidying up being done before I pick her up. - small tear in soft top top right drivers side. Some paint scratches, window seal, fluid service....

Initial Plans....
K-Sport 305mm 6 pot brake kit. (As fits under standard wheels)
K&N replacement filter. (Like the passwors jdm air feeds... but pricey)
Eibach springs -30mm (standard dampers are ideal for me)
Poly bushes all round and cleaned up, paint lower arms.

Later plans....
13 row mocal oil cooler (just need the sandwich plate and fixings)
Better radiator
Imporved speakers
Fanimold and exhaust.

Also own c1h kawasaki previous car was a clio 1.2 turbo 163bhp. Chose s2k over an evo 8 and elise.

Looking forward to reading learning and attending a few meets.

welcome...

Don't think you will have a need for a rad and oil cooler unless you are going FI or a serious track car.

Hi weatyGT congrats on your S2k, just out of interest how come you chose the S2k over the evo 8 and the elise? Thanks.

Welcome mate. See how you get on with uprated pads, fluid and perhaps discs. You may find they are perfect for your needs, and leave you over a grand in your back pocket!

That said, on my last S I ran 330mm 8 pots and loved every minute with em. It's possible I needed em though!

The S is a great car. You will have a blast in it. Stay safe in the damp!

Is this the return of the "automotive love affair"?

I chose mine over an evo 9. Had a test drive and was hooked on the sheer speed, but the following week i had a test in an S on a hot sunny day, and that won hands down...

Treat It like a bike in the wet and you'll be fine. A fair few bikers on here as well.
