Nicks S2k
 

Hello! I thought I had best do an introduction. This seems like a really good forum, good people and lots of knowledge.

ve been and s2000 owner for a little over a month now. After much hunting around, including driving two hours to near gatwick to view a car that sold moments after we pulled up (and yes, we did have an appointment!), and several hours in the oposite direction to look one that was 3 shades of silver, we finally settled on a 2003 35,000mile S2000 in silverstone, with black leather, a 4 month old roof, refurbed wheels, and a good history, including 3 previous owners that had all bought it from honda either new or used approved. Exactly what we were after, a tidy weekend toy that will hopefully hold its value.

Token picture, at the services on the way home. So far I have just enjoyed driving it, had it serviced, and had a new alarm fitted after the hamilton and palmer setup failed. I have also popped the boot carpet to investigate why it was wet - and its the pesky vent behind the bumper, so thats a little job that needs sorting. Otherwise, at the moment I just plan to enjoy it and tidy up a few little things. Long term I'd like to sort some coil overs and 17s, but for now it has a set of 4000mile old bridgestones on it.

Hoping to do a few track days, and maybe tempt my wife out sprinting in it too. For now its nice to be behind the wheel of a quick and fun road car again!

Car looks nice mate.

Sounds like you bought wisely - hope you got a good deal and yes they do seem to hold their value pretty well - in fact seem to be appreciating every time I look :) Welcome along and enjoy ! Where are you from ? (trying to work out where places are that are two hours from Gatwick and that you can travel for several hours the other direction) Dorset / Wiltshire somewhere maybe ?

Welcome :hello:

Thanks for the welcome.

Im from Petersfield, Hampshire. The price was OK, not a bargain, but not OTT. At the end of the day I couldnt see myself finding one much better in budget.

The BBS and toyo proxes are only for rolling it around, its going to be 13x8 Alley cats with michelin slicks.

Love the scimitar, seen a few at various sprints/ hillclimbs in the midlands. :thumbup:

Welcome and enjoy! :tipwink:

Thanks! Theres a few competeing the scimitar club championship. Mines been to Curborough, wiscombe, goodwood and a few events with Farnborough Motorclub. My brothers (in the background) has also been to a few in the midlands.

Ive ordered some S2K tuning floor mats as I currently dont have any.

Some S2000 seem to have a different rubber rear aerial. is this an OEM part? I currently have the long whip one. I know some of the smaller ones can be a bit rubbish, so want to get one that actually works.

Welcome to S2KI :)

All lovely motors :thumbup:
