Curtis, are you talking about the ap1? I've just jumped into your convo with Bbf lol.
Ages ago I drove my mates ap1 and he had horrible Tyres and his felt floaty. Not sure if this is what you guys are talking about or not lol hope so.
My ap1 has awesome Tyres and that feels great around corners
Had BS potenza stock sizing F + R
Rear only let loose in rain in first gear vtec, rest is just grip lol.
OK guys lets go off topic.
the Ap1 floaty feeling i get is when u break near the last moment before a turn (or in a turn, if u pussy out) then the weight shifts to the front since the front springs on the ap1 are softer then the rear by a lot! (02-04 models are slightly stiffer fronts but still softer than the rear).
so when u brake there is no weight on the back and it feels like flicking out.
so the answer is to keep power on so that the backwheels are keeping up (not dragging the gearbox/engine), we dont have these problems in FWD cars since the rear end just follows, but in the s2000 the backwheels can start doing the braking if ur foot is off the accelerator mid turn, it leads to lift off over steer (a very easy to achieve lift off oversteer). less experienced ppl will keep the car in a higher gear so the engine braking to the rear wheels is less, if ur good you can keep it in a lower gear and be ready to catch the power oversteer. your basically stuffed either way it wants to kick out at the limit.
I had to 'keep the power on' in the lude in order to avoid oversteering as wellQuote:

Yeah I saw that bloody cheap. How was the paint??
Paint is not bad, but a respray is on the cards and it will be mint as!
Do you have another s as well or were you looking a while back? I think it was you if my memory serves me correctly
l was looking a while back I than gave up and found a mint dc2r, love my integras! I sold that about a month ago and went back to looking for a s2000 and now I'm here.
Have owned a couple integras always wanted a s2000
lol, i think s2000 has nothing on a DC2R would prefer the DC2R, actually prefer to have both. but between the two that are more fun to drive fast i think dc2r is better.
^Don't go there lol.
I'm in the exact opposite boat :P
This... Mod, edit the title damnit!Quote:

Does anyone think this odo has been run back?
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...?Cr=10&sdmvc=1
I was thinking the same thing... Unless there is something physically wrong with the car.. Couldn't hurt to check it out and make sure everything is sound
I asked the owner for logbooks and condition. he told me there was none and that the condition was immaculate. also the engine bay looks very dirty and old for 'immaculate' or it could be quality not sure
Interior looks pretty shoddy too though, at 60,000KMs I wouldn't expect the seats to have that much damageQuote:

Anyone in QLD able to check out an S for me? Please send pm, kind thanks.
2008 Apex Blue Ap2/Vic
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/melbo...48425?mpch=ads
is that APEX blue one a respray? even the headlight washers are blue, and i thought that APEX blue (favourite colour of Shigeru Uehara, the S2000 chassis and handling engineer) was only available on the Club Rally?
Not a respray, car is full original!
AP2's have colour-coded headlight washers from factory
fair enough, it kinda looks like someone over sprayed them. would be nicer if the bumper had pop up ones or none at all
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...SE-AD-2548508/
been on sale for 2months, funny how the owner says price is firm but ends up price dropping
Has anyone seen this, thoughts, opinions? The owner is on here saborit seems like he sells alot of cars regularly
i think that looks nice, much better than a standard AP1 front.
and it also looks like its at a nice height, but i didnt see coils in the mod list.
It's on Tein Flex coilovers brother :D
well if i get it its gna be used as a semi daily prolly 4-5 days a week ...160000km will go up to 200000km quickly,
has anyone seen this in person?
would anyone know any ozhondas in the area who will be willing to help me out with the inspection, revs check etc?
Otherwise ill prolly get it inspected at hannys
Get it inspected, but I can tell you now that rear bar has been resprayed
yea apparently when he installed the amuse front bumper he also resprayed his rear bumper
Whys that
lolololol
Says the car isn't a respray at the top, nek minut last post says the rear bumper has been resprayed.
This seller is legit :thumbsup:
Don't know the seller or car from a bar of soap, but do you really not discern a difference between a 'respray' and 'bumper has been resprayed'?Quote:

Bumper resprayed means he had a parking accident and they had to respray the bumper.
World of difference.
You took the bait lolololol.Quote:

Hey guys just wanted to know your opinion on this purchase. I recently flew up to SYD from Melbourne to get a blue 1999 S2000. I got it for $16 800 and it was sitting on about 122 xxx kms it is stock except for a k & n intake. Is it a good price?

I guess if your asking our opinion on your car
You may be having second thoughts?
