06 cars and 07 cars had it as an option.
Became standard kit on 08 cars.

You could just buy a 99 - 05 S2000 and have the Racelogic TC fitted.
( Will not work on 06-08 cars as they have an electronic throttle )

The Racelogic TC is well regarded.

You could probably fit the Racelogic TC for the price of the extra tax on an 06 car compared to an early one.

Why do you think you need TC?

Jav may not believe he's a driving god and like a good ABS, there's nothing wrong with a good reverse-ABS for those moments of inattention!

For something with a supercharger or turbo, I can understand traction control. Otherwise just realise you dont need your foot burried into the carpet to move and you dont need it.

Or just man up and do without!

Check out the For Sale section, there are a couple of REALLY good S2k's going at the moment.
