SOLD long ago, but I still get occiasional inquiries.

My track day 2003 S2000 AP1 Suzuka Blue is for sale as a rolling chassis with 87,000 miles. I blew the motor at Willow Springs Int'l Raceway recently. The head is rebuildable, but it needs a new short block. This car is well sorted and would make a great platform for someone wanting to build something special to put under the hood, or just putting a 2004 - 2005 2.2 liter AP2 block and keeping the AP1 head and gearing. Nothing else is wrong with the car. I really love this car, and its a hoot to drive on track. I have tracked many other cars including NSX, Corvette, Evo, 350Z, Miata and Audi S4. My AP1 is by far my favorite track car. I would keep it and replace the motor, but I have decided to go a different direction, and will be buying an open-wheel formula race car.

Car is currently registered and insured and I drive it on the street, back and forth to the track

In the interest of full disclosure, there is a little bit of a crease on the left front fender and the front bumper is scratched up from a minor on-track incident -- we just pulled out the fender and it is fine, but does not look perfect.

 

Woah, this is a deal.

It's like buying the parts and getting a free chassis.

 

color is suzuka blue not laguna- laguna blue was only available 06-09

not hating just a suzuka owner, would love to buy the wheels and suspension!!

 

now this is a deal. good luck with the sale.

darcy

 

holy shit, 8k with the suspension. Part it Richard if you have the time, you'll make way more.

 

Anyone who thinks they can make a profit by parting the car out is welcome to buy it from me for the asking price, and then go crazy with it.

 

It just keeps gettin better for the buyer. Here's something I forgot is in the car:

"Cool Suit system installed (almost new) -- ice chest, pump, hoses and electrical wiring with on/off switch (you just need to buy your own Cool Shirt vest)"

 

Wow, wish you were closer.. I'd take it! LoL This is an incredible deal!

 

Holy crap. Any idea how much it would cost to fix the engine??

 

And do you still have the interior pieces?? Can some of them be reinstalled??
