Ruined such a nice car
For a second there i thought it was an r/c car lol

[charlie15]

buyer decided to keep his s2000, back to the hunt for me :(

The yellow one?

[arcenite]

The yellow one?

Yeap lol

[charlie15]

Damn too bad

[civ_sik]

you found an ap2 charlie15?

[charlie15]

you found an ap2 charlie15?

Yeah finally. It's an '05 model :)

[Torell]

omg we need a thumbs up for that one

[charlie15]

I think we will use the thumbs up when someone buys an 02 for 35k

[Jasemas]

I think we will use the thumbs up when someone buys an 02 for 35k

Thats AP2 territory lol

[Baby Face]

35k is pricey, i think for that much money you can get a decent one with more Ks and just have it polished and re-upholsted and rebuilt.

[Jasemas]

Also almost 3/4 of the way to an NSX
Ooooooooooo i went there

Back on topic -

[arcenite]

A lot of s2k's on the market are overpriced, all the good ones come and go so quickly

[Baby Face]

@ 35k that one wont be going anywhere soon.
its been on the market a while, you could probably save up to buying it. then by one that comes in cheaper and spend the other 10k on good mods. like fixing the AP1 suspension because its stupid.

S2000 has reliability, airbags and air con as standard. The reasons why I bought an ap2 over an Elise. Creature comforts not available in an Elise. I'd imagine they'd be more fun though.

Torell you better be prepared to move a few k. At low 30's eventually an enthusiast may purchase it.

[curtis265]

say whatever you like, a seller is free to advertise whatever he or she likes. that's the idea of a free market.

if someone values it at 35k, then that's what the car is worth.

[flop101]

the car is only worth what the buyer pays for it

[charlie15]

^ I agree. If someone values a commodore at 200k it doesn't mean it's worth 200k. That means if you think your Hyundai is worth 100k then that's what it's worth. That's incorrect. A car is worth what someone will pay for it. If no one will pay that amount then it's probably not worth that amount. In saying that, you may just have to wait for the right buyer.

The red ap1 may be as good as new but it is a 13 year old car and for the 35k price tag many people would prefer a newer car or maybe even the newer model s for that price (which when they do come up are usually around that mark).

It would be interesting to see what the car sells for nonetheless.

[Jasemas]

amant02 is in talks with the potato selling the car

[lolmclol]

So many rustled jimmies in here ... Its kind of hilarious to see how much this is upsetting people.

[arcenite]

chill chill we're all s2k fanatics and have differing opinions that is all :)

[EP3TYPER]

That S2000 is way overpriced! 35k. My first reaction when it came up was that it was an AP2. Needs to dip just under 30k for it to sell. I bet you he probably hasn't had one serious call at that price lol. You're right though, his car his price. Only thing is that it's going to remain his car for a long time if he is going prices 5 years ago.

[Torell]

^^ Thats my S2k, and i appreciate the comments no hard feelings.

I priced it up fairly high because if someone wants the lowest kms, there it is.

but in saying that, i hope to sell in under 2 months so it will sell no doubt.


serious lookers! ive had a couple! one low balled a bit too much, but i wanted to sell to him cos he was late 60's and utterly enthused lol. next offer was at 30, but maybe not so serious. couple of hooks here and there, but no sale yet so who knows how serious!

Time will tell! wish me luck!

[pure_na]

I don't understand on why people say s2k is uncomfortable... It's pretty nice to sit in long distance lol

[black8thgen]

I don't understand on why people say s2k is uncomfortable... It's pretty nice to sit in long distance lol

This of course depends on the amount of mods the particular car has, but a stock S yes it is not bad at all to sit in for long distances.

The only reason my S is 'uncomfortable' is because the exhaust is too loud lol other than that I have no qualms

[amant02]

Sorry to say Torrell.

But offer wouldn't reach anywhere your asking price. 30k is what I value the car at max.

My reasoning, Its an AP1, interstate buyer, Shes red, Depreciation value as she will be my daily.

Mate if my DC5 is sold before yours does, I would be inclined to offer more. Till that day, shall we speak again.

[arcenite]

I wouldn't be able to bear putting all that mileage onto an S though lol. I reckon a cheap small car for a daily driver just to get to work and back if my budget's low, and have the S as a weekender.

[pure_na]

I don't understand on why people say s2k is uncomfortable... It's pretty nice to sit in long distance lol
imho, the s2k is one of the most uncomfortable cars i've ever driven. i'm 6ft. i prefer the following cars which i also regularly drive:
1982 commodore
e46 3 series
dc2r (most comfortable car after the rx7 rs)
rx7 rs
rx7 rz (no where near as comfortable as the rs)
x5
anything else i get to drive :p. i hate the s2k seats and if i could afford it would have sr4's from a dc5r in it in a heartbeat. love absolutely everything else about the car though...except for the lack of a glove box. which is just stupid.

[amant02]

I prefer the S2k seats over the DC5r's.

IMO, ea to their own.

[integraR]

dun liek leather s2k seats too sticky and not comfy

but sr3 recaro suede material more comfy

[Baby Face]

im over 6ft, but im pretty comfortable in my car, the only ppl that have complained to me about it being uncomfortable have been the tyre guy and a mechanic. but they were both fat.

my seats arent sticky, they are actually kinda soft, other s2k owners have said that mine are quite soft compared to their own.
not as soft as an SR3, which is a nice seat i had in my EG but an sr just doesnt suit the interior.

[Ten Four]

I didn't like S2K for long distances mainy because 3500rpm at speed limit, stuff all sound deadening (hate hearing everything, all the time with roof up) and no cruise control. Did love the seats though.

Also, someone should buy this!

Haha I was like that at first too... but trust me after a year of driving with some highway involved (80-90km/h at 3-4k RPM = DRONE) your ears start to bleed. I loved every bit of the noise up until recently... Hence hunting for a quieter exhaust :)

It's too ex... I mean it's out of my budget :p

[Baby Face]

compared to the price of the Red AP1 with 35k km's what do you guys reckon? extra 20,000kms buts its an ap2

opinions?

[arcenite]

compared to the price of the Red AP1 with 35k km's what do you guys reckon? extra 20,000kms buts its an ap2

opinions?

That red ap1 has no rear glass window on the soft top so that's something to consider. It'll cost approx $600 shipped from ebay and probably $700 in labour to get it fixed up properly.

Other than that, if you're keeping it stock, ap1's are known to be more aggressive and ap2's more user friendly (someone can correct me on this).

If you're going to swap out suspension, have your own geometry settings etc. etc. Just go for the cheaper one, as long as you schedule a proper pre-purchase check (engine comps, chassis etc.).

Or just pick the colour you prefer :)

Edit: Also if you care for aesthetics, AP2 has got speakers mounted on the door, wider tires on stock wheels etc. performance wise, nothing much since we don't get the F22C in Australia from my knowledge. There's a thread here somewhere that gives you a rundown on the differences.

[Baby Face]

AP2 is quicker being easier to drive, the AP1 you can never really be fully at ease, it keeps u on edge sort of. depends though, the suspension isnt perfect anyway, so coilovers to get it how u want. but AP2 doesnt had the Bump steer issue as the rear suspension arm geometry is sorted, this could be done to an AP1 by subframe swap or Bump steer kit (though these have been known to fail causing complete loss of control)

[arcenite]

But if you set up the geometry properly with after market suspension the bump steer shouldn't be that much of a problem with responsible and smooth driving. Not forgetting that the rear suspension toes in under load and by changing the distribution suddenly causes the toe to change. In my opinion the fun of the AP1 is that it always keeps you on the edge and after getting used to it with lots of seat time. It's tons of fun :) - feedback from friends who've tracked the S2000 the ap1 is apparently more "fun" to drive lol.

But to each his own.

[charlie15]

Lol no way you'd take that ap1 over the ap2. Sorry but you'd be an idiot

[arcenite]

Lol no way you'd take that ap1 over the ap2. Sorry but you'd be an idiot

But if it's cheaper?

[charlie15]

But if it's cheaper?

In respect to the NFR AP1 and SSM AP2, the price difference is minimal. It's an extra 2.5k for the 2006 model which is a whole lot rarer and better, both aesthetically and mechanically.

If we're talking about an AP1 which is 20k vs an AP2 which is 35k then obviously you will purchase the car which is within your budget, as I did.

I've owned 3 s2000s now. Finally bought myself an AP2 when I could afford one.

[civ_sik]

Ap2 for sure, just waiting for a nice yellow or white one to pop up...

being on the edge is not the best thing, the AP2 will be fast because around the track understeer bias is faster than oversteer. according to MCM, also being predictable makes it easier to push it.
saying an ap1 is better is like taking a flaw and trying to spin it around with clever words, at the end it aint as good but an ap1 is about as good as most will get.

Spot on.

It'd be interesting to know exactly how different the ap1 is to the 04,05 so called ap2 when pushed to the limit.

No doubt the 06+ can be pushed harder due to the VSA addition

[Torell]

surely i dont need to point out the the 50/50 weight distribution which makes more of a difference than the VSA when taken to the limit. The suspension setup is set such as that driving in the upper limits the torque of the engine causes the suspension and weight to flatten out to that 50/50 point. i dont know how VSA could help from that point. but im a noob so i could be very very wrong

There is a video on YouTube comparing ap1, ap2 and modded ap1. Ap2 beats ap1 by a decent margin, but that also includes wider wheels and better tyres.

Where on earth did you get that idea? Nothing could be further from the truth. I presume you are actually talking about oversteer, & not complete rear end breakaway. That is a different horse of another colour, but there are still ways of handling it better than the thing that wants to run out of road at the front.

With understeer all you can do is wait for the thing to grip. Yes you can provoke oversteer in a natural understeerer, provided you do it as you turn in, but you will then have a viscous thing wanting to bite you.

With oversteer you can control the amount & range of the oversteer, & in fact use it to enable early throttle application, & fast exits.

I raced a lot of cars, & spent quite some time eradicating understeer from any of them that suffered from it, in order to reduce lap times.

[daevilone]

What mcm was saying is that a car that understeers at the limit before oversteer is much easier to handle and faster for most drivers. A small amount of understeer can be lived with and doesn't slow the car much.

Those that really know how to drive hate understeer though. I also much prefer eliminating any understeer from my car.

[Baby Face]

i think for sure over steer is better than understeer when it comes on controllably but the S2000 doesnt really have that, its more just twitchy and floaty, on stock suspension. and the AP2 which has revised toe arm geometry for the rear also has better spring rates and handling bias with stiffer front springs and softer rear springs making the car less twitchy, and more confidence inspiring.

Also the AP2 that beats the modded AP1 did that AP2 have the 2.2L?

This is wut I mean.

Confusion.

what are you confused about?

[charlie15]

Now I'm confused

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Amant used confusion ray.







Amants attack was successful.











S2K thread is confused

[Giraffe]

there all ap1 chasis code, but received a facelift of the exterior from 04, then 06 they changed the engine to dbw and the seats and rims (ap2v1,v2,v3) etc

[amant02]

Giraffe used All cure.


S2k thread has recovered from Confusion.

[curtis265]

Does anyone here know, AP1 late 05 model - early 06's with AP2 trim from factory? aka headlights tail lights trim and rims?

call it a 1.5 and we'll all know what you mean

[Baby Face]

99-01 is AP1
02-03 is AP1.5
tweeters
leather centre console
glass window
leather look on cup holder
CD stacker moved into secret compartment as opposed to boot

[Giraffe]

^ yeah hes got it right, 05 ap2 is a v1

You're going to be waiting quite a while!

[Hasbeen]

I have a mint, totally stock 2001 yellow/black 43000 kilometer one.

You would have to be rich to get it off me.

That's kinda my dream car. They didn't have yellow when I ordered mine.

Id be richer if I hadn't just ordered a 235i to replace the old girl, but no I am only really interested in ap2's. And ive got plenty of time to wait for the right car as I cant see it been driven more than once/twice a week.

[Hasbeen]

I bought the car just over 3 years ago, with 27.780 on the clock. It had been a 12 month effort to find the car I wanted.

I'm averaging 5000 a year, which is a bit higher than planned. It is hard not to reach for the S keys, when ever I am not going near supermarket parking lots. My TR7 was off the road for 3 months getting air conditioning fitted & another 4 months getting a bare metal paint job. It is now back to taking some of the load.

I have a Ford Capri, [Oz type 2+2] for parking lots etc., to help keep the S as it should be.

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Good job sir, golden medal for you!!

[amant02]

Sure, Its a promise. I will handover my fully sik rwd tarrboo S2k to Amant. Which is faster then his homo FWD.

how much is a 02 model s2k with 220XXXkm is worth?
has service history clean inside and out and no damage

[amant02]

how much is a 02 model s2k with 220XXXkm is worth?

If the body and interior is in good shape, i would part easily just under 15k for that. If rough all around ... 8k?? 9k?? Which is a very good resale value.

Few months ago, Car Auction in Villawood were selling a 208,000KM for 8K. The 2nd day they increased to 13k Lol. She was rough all around.

[JDMdc2r]

hey,
anyone know this s2k?
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Honda-S2000-1999/SSE-AD-2548508/?Cr=4&sdmvc=1

by looking at the pictures and description whether there is anything wrong with it?
I live all the way in melbourne and if you guys could give me any info regarding this s2k would be great since its located in NSW
thanks :)

[EP3TYPER]

Been for sale for ages.

[JDMdc2r]

Been for sale for ages.

yeah I noticed it has been up there for quite some time which makes me think something is wrong with it. I won't know unless I inspect it myself but its in all the way in NSW. Theres another white s2000 on car sales and I found out the history of it through friends and although it looks mint now I know why it doesnt sell..
Hopefully someone on here knows something about this one will be very helpful

hmmm, but thats an auction. still expect an ap1.5 even with them ks to fetch more than 13k and i would guess 16k if it was spick all round.

is that pic of the engine bay actually of this car?
the brake booster etc is on the LH of the vehicle, ie on the intake side of the engine, which is where the battery should be.
the image used is actually of a Left Hand Drive car isnt it?

Pretty sure just inversed on camera setting.

[AusS2000]

Nope, intake manifold is on the correct side. That picture is of a LHD car.

[Baby Face]

Pretty sure just inversed on camera setting.

i thought this at first but, the engine was the correct way around which is why i said intake side of engine.

i wonder why he didnt use the real photo. unless all the others are reversed and its actually a LHD :P

[curtis265]

99.9% sure thats not his engine bay

[Todxxx]

Messaged asking why his car was a LHD
No reply :(

[arcenite]

doesn't sound too good ;o

[flop101]

he is a member on s2ki. A friend of mine is having a look at it this weekend.

[arcenite]

Any word from him?

[integraR]

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Honda-S2000-1999/SSE-AD-2661273/?Cr=1&sdmvc=1

anyone checked out this car yet?

[flop101]

Everything checked out with the car. Its a RHD motor with matching engine and vin numbers. My mate offered him $23.5k but the guy didnt accept.

[EP3TYPER]

Whats, with the tan interior was it factory. What a feral colour combo

[AusS2000]

Look like groce blur color but

[afonse]

dam, he turned down 23.5k :/
what do you guys reckon about these two, i'd like to know your thoughts as i'l looking for an s2k:

[flop101]

My ones got 75, 000km and its an 03. No chance id take less than $25k for it. Dont be suprised in the price variance between cars. Its always been known that the ones that have been better cared for tend to fetch more.
Then again, any car is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

[afonse]

ye i know, its just a shame because i was going to offer him 23.5k too lol. But i guess ill just slowly wait for the 'one'.

[flop101]

Worst you can do is go inspect it and make an offer. You never know if you dont try.

[Baby Face]

u offered 23.5k for the one with the AP2 facelift?

[EP3TYPER]

think he meant that blue one with the tan trim

[Torell]

Agreed on sale of my s2k couple of days ago, then finance fell through :/ hard work selling a car!

[Baby Face]

you have it up for like 35k tho, finance is gonna look and say redbook value is only like 18k, so if this person fails to pay and they sell the car for 18k they are still short a big hunk.

i would just say keep it get some real use from it, then sell it a lil cheaper.

[RenzokukenJ]

Not if you get a personal loan, you don't have to advise what you are buying it for.

[EKVTIR-T]

anyone know what torell paid for his originally?

[EP3TYPER]

how much did you agree on? Maybe someone else lurking will buy it for that price.

[Torell]

he negotiated so yeah a lil cheaper than advertised. babys gonna come along in the next few weeks most likely, so if i must ill take it down for a while and relist at later date.

Yeh personal loan would be the way to go, or cash. renzokukenj smart.

^^ i wont be getting as much for the car as i paid for it.

[Todxxx]

I bought my 01 with 65000kms for 23 completely stock so 03 with 75000 kms should realistically be around the same price

[Baby Face]

I bought my 01 with 65000kms for 23 completely stock so 03 with 75000 kms should realistically be around the same price

be more 03 is an ap1.5 so it will fetch closer to 25k

[charlie15]

Most would be hard pressed to find a clean low km one for 23k now. High km ones are around those prices atm

suits me well, when looking to buy everyone wishes they were cheaper but when you own one and see others sell at like 16,000$ you see that they are devaluing everyone elses car.
these cars a rare they should be aloud to fetch into the 25grand mark if its decent, more if its good. AP2 more than that obviously

Exactly right

[AusS2000]

The way i see it, no one in their right minds would offer me what my car is worth (to me). The enjoyment I get from it is priceless and I'm at a point in life where I don't 'need' an extra 20k or whatever.

It sits in my garage and takes me out on the occasional spirited drive and gives me a grin no amount of money could replace.

since money isnt tight? :)

[AusS2000]

I disagree.

Part of my enjoyment is knowing I put it together.

An R35 comes preassembled. Where's the fun in that?

[mocchi]

you didnt put it together. you just installed some parts on it.

hehe

cross threaded or torqued, tight still tight.
built or bought, fun still fun

yeah nah

wat

[Baby Face]

heart warming moment ruined...

but i really love driving my S a very raw experience, if i drive a ute all day and jump into it i feel ontop of the world, but a lot closer to the floor

[Torell]

Haha Baby Face is onto something

[AusS2000]

you didnt put it together. you just installed some parts on it.


On one end of the spectrum there 'bolt on parts'. On the other there is 'put it together'.

I have rebuilt the engine and diff, added a supercharger then a turbo, replaced and tuned the ECU. Engine is running aftermarket MAP, injectors, FPR, throttle body and other parts too numerous to mention. Only part of the drivetrain untouched is the gearbox and I am building up a spare.

I'll leave it up to others to decide where I sit on the spectrum but I feel it's a tad towards the latter.

nice mun

did you rebuilt it yourself? diy definitely adds alot of sentimental value instead of dollar value.
doesnt matter anyway, as long as you love your car.

[AusS2000]

I rebuilt the engine myself at Chris Barry's workshop with him looking over.

http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/470839-engine-rebuild/

I didn't do the diff myself. I supplied the parts and had a machinist make up the end caps and rigid collar and a diff specialist put it back together.

Sounds like you've had fun. I think you could claim you built the engine, & in fact the car.

You can get sick of it. When I was racing the F2 Brabham Cosworth the Hepolite early forged Y alloy pistons would only last about 90 miles before at least one of them would crack between the thrust face & the web. I rebuilt that thing so many times I knew every bolt & nut by Christian name.

We finally found a man, Nudge Smith, who worked with Bob Britton, who would grind out the area, & weld it up. This was so successful we started getting new pistons done to relieve the forged in stress before we ran them.

After 20 months of racing the thing, the only bits left that had come from Cosworth were the camshaft, the sump & the exhaust header. We reckoned we built that one too.

When David McKay gave me the drive in his Brabham Repco F1, I was so glad to give up being the mechanic every night.

[AusS2000]

I would find failing pistons soul destroying. I went through a patch of blowing head gaskets that turned out to be a tuning problem. You can get sick and tired of pulling that head off and putting it back on repeatedly very quickly.

Driving something really trick would be awesome but I am the sole pilot of my car and the main mechanic (sometimes I can trick a friend into joining me for a day) so any problems I create I have to fix.

[Jasemas]

Damn porous f22c block

Just a heads up for anyone looking at the black 03 with tan interior in Vic.
Guy was all good with me coming to have a look at the car, as soon as I mentioned a workshop having a look at the car for me he refused and said a RWC is sufficient so he won't allow an inspection.
Suspicious, probably a lemon. Just a heads up.

shieeeeeeeeeeeetttttt

did he say why? no time? you pay for inspection?

[RenzokukenJ]

I love lemon flavour

[EP3TYPER]

I said I would pay for an inspection and if the car was all good I would give him a deposit. As soon as he heard I wanted my mechanic to look at he didnt want anything to do with it lol.. Just kept saying that RWC is sufficient lol.
Alarm bells for me anyway not going to bother.

[Baby Face]

Just to clarify (we dont have RWC in WA);
RWC doesnt check for Engine Health ie compression??

[yoshii]

Pretty sure it doesn't, they just check the usual stuff to make sure it's roadworthy (tyres, brakes, lights etc). Compression test isn't included.

[Giraffe]

Great information ^^^ letting all possible buyers know and not hiding anything

[s2kman]

Just a heads up if anyone is interested in this car. It was repairable write-off as off Feb/March this year and looks like has since been repaired. It should be recorded on WOVR. The original damage was to the to the front bumper, drivers quarter panel, front suspension/steering. The current front Yokohama AD08R tyres/wheels copped a bit of a wack in the side walls on both sides (one against a gutter and the otherside by another vehicle that crashed into it) but they were fairly new at the time may be OK but worth looking at carefully to ensure they are safe. Contrary to what the ad says the current owner did not purchase these tyres recently and were purchased by the previous owner prior to the accident. Unsure how well it has been repaired as the passenger front wheel looks like it has positive camber in one of the photos.

Something to keep in mind if inspecting this car and I would certainly recommend a very close inspection of the front suspension and steering. The current owner wouldn't have owned it for more than a few months and it was purchased through Pickles Auctions after it was written off in February 2014.

Oh is that all? what a bargain shii

[Baby Face]

Oh is that all? what a bargain shii

thats right, i found a group in the states, the Ohlins DFV are a single adjustable shock, so it is cheaper but also considered a "road" shock because its at the bottom of the range. what most dont realise though is that the adjuster on top controls rebound and dampening together so its actually rebound and dampening adjustable just not independent like kw v3.

however the adjustments are tuned very well and these are highly reviewed. on par with the AST 4100 Sportline 1 suspension apparantly, or better since the Sportline 1 doesnt adjust rebound. the kit does also have Digressive valving (dual flow valving -DFV-), so it would feel similar to the AST sportline if the ast sportline has been upgraded to have DDP (Double digressive pistons).

the next models up for the Ohlins provide external resovoirs, 3 way adjustment 4 way and like 8 way or something. very crazy toward the top end is like 8k USD

Hey Guys, Ex Honda driver here (had a Euro until I sold it earlier this year, miss my Hondas :(). I sold the car intending to purchase something along the lines of a 135i/370z, however keep finding myself thinking of and looking at S2000s, have always loved them!


Digging up my post from 2012.. at the time I was thinking about buying an s2k but ended up purchasing a BMW 135i which is now back up on the market for sale (absolutely awesome cars they are..).

Still looking to fill that S2000 bug I've had in me for years.. if anyone with an S2000 is interested in trading their S2000 for a 135i feel free to PM me!

Does anyone know anything about this particular S2000? He states its a JDM import which is quite interesting..

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Honda-S2000-1999/SSE-AD-3261415/?Cr=9

I've noticed that its a 1999 model but has tweeters in the doors so I'm assuming it might actually be a JDM import (assuming 1999 JDM models had tweeters.. either that or the door trims were updated). I remember seeing a JDM import in Melbourne a while back in orange as well for sale.. not sure if its the same one. Any thoughts/opionions would be great, might go check it out in person this weekend.

Based on the pictures I'm wondering why the rocker cover is missing a bit of red paint.. and the picture of the exhaust doesnt really look like a mugen to me (looks like its been welded?)

Cheers,
Simon

See the posts bellow.


The orange one is a bit of a mystery, could be a (rare) imola orange model that has been a private personal import. The absence of headlight washers on the bumper fits this theory.

Or... a punter has resprayed their car and shaved the bumper.

The former would command a price premium and the latter would devalue imho.

The paint code near the vin would yield a quick answer.


I'm going to guess import... Engine bay is also orange and it has a coin slot where the headlight washers would be - easily changed but just signs...

mugen exhaust

lmao

looks like dandy exhaust job

[Simonnn]

Wow some top detective work there! yes those are the exact pictures from the previous orange JDM import S2000 I saw.. guess its the same one.

Reading the comments it looks like it is in fact a JDM import but has been resprayed?.. bit confused.

I think I'd prefer the stock seats (not even sure if those Brides are legit.. owner says they are.. :P) Intake box looks like it has been cut or something and cautious of dandy spec mugen exhaust.. Do you guys reckon its worth checking out?

[lolmclol]

Reading the comments it looks like it is in fact a JDM import but has been resprayed?.. bit confused.

I think I'd prefer the stock seats (not even sure if those Brides are legit.. owner says they are.. :P) Intake box looks like it has been cut or something and cautious of dandy spec mugen exhaust.. Do you guys reckon its worth checking out?

the air box has been modified to fit that snorkel. there would usually be a funnel there. and the air filter has been changed to a smaller pod filter then stock
but its looks like a good fit

[AusS2000]

Removing the funnel is standard for fitting one of those snorkels. Just clip two aluminium rivets.

Let us know how it goes.
I love the orange.

Intake meh... Replace it with an Injen anyway ;)

Was very close to purchasing an S2000 today until I paid for a stateroads inspection on it (not the orange one).. if anyone is actively looking for an S2000 atm feel free to PM me for info regarding that car as I wouldn't want anyone to buy a lemon!

Undecided if it was a good use of $259 or a waste to get that that inspection done :(

[RenzokukenJ]

Which one did you look at today?

[Simonnn]

It was the one which is the same colour as a lemon in NSW.. pretty sure it will sell quick anyway though

I wouldnt trust seller.

He says serviced every 10k Kms

Then after he says oil changed every 5k?

Would be checking log book and calling the mech stamped to make sure legit.

He's not said that anywhere... And if you actually read the advert, he says he's maintained it himself.

Hi all, new here but not new to Hondas and i'm now in the market for a S2K preferably in NSW. I've done a fair bit of research on the AP1 common problems and for the most part seem to be bomb proof. There are a few cars around Sydney i'm looking at and wondering if anybody has checked them out and can give me some feedback, I live in Byron Bay so it's a bit of mission to get down and check them all out.

Sorry, I know there are a few there and one or two of the owners may be on here. I'm not too worried about kms as the engine will be rebuilt, if it's solid with no dents and a crisp gearbox i'm keen!

Cheers

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/epping/cars-vans-utes/2000-s2000-f20c-/1079402739 I've seen this posted way back from Rouse Hill area for 15K not sure why its up again. I haven't seen it in person tho.

[amant02]

Oops my bad lol. Sleep less days.

[crappbag]

Any opinions on this? Looks like a clean example.

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bella-vista/cars-vans-utes/2001-honda-s2000/1084073894

[Todxxx]

Looks clean but price is a bit steep for 105k Kms imo. I got my super clean/stock with full logbooks and 65k Kms 01 silverstone for the same price over a year ago.

[crappbag]

Good to know. Thanks!

[curtis265]

Bit pricey but not out of the question

[amant02]

I would settle for it, Its been awhile since I has seen one for sale that stock and asking price in the 20's.
But its sliver. Also keep in mind your gonna have to pay for rego cos pensioner car.
