Some people actually like to drive...
plus... that seems like a complete and utter ripoff for a '97 civic... who in their right mind would pay that kind of money for one?
Looks like the guy's wasted loads of money on various silly mods & is trying to claim as much back as possible :S
You could get a beast of an evo/scoob for that money & either of them would be significantly better to drive

What a great idea, a 13 year old Honda Civic hatchback.
It doesn't really matter how much scene hype now surrounds these, when you are not bouncing off the redline on your favourite road, it's a £500 Civic.
It doesnt even begin to compare to an S2000.
Personally I think its a bit of a ridiculous suggestion. Anyone who wants a S2000, wouldn't want a 12 years old striped out ricer.
How do you compare it to an MX5's?
I have noticed the doors are a lot taller so the roof down effect is some what lessened. When I have the top down I like for people to see how pretty I am, this is an important factor.

Sold. . . . I now want one!!!
Mike your S2K looks awesome, can you elaborate on your opinion of VSA not being necessary?
The last thing I would want to do is write one off like many others so Im thinking VSA would be neccesity for inexperienced RWD drivers?

In my year and a bit of ownership I have only had one poo in pants moment which I corrected epicly into a massive drift.
Best form traction control/VSA is your brain and right foot.
Quite right. You and I both have driven some relatively powerful RWD cars (namely MR2 turbos) and they didn't have traction / stability control and we managed to keep them out of the hedges
If you can't keep your right foot under control, don't buy a lary RWD car.
Never driven an MX5 so I don't know i'm afraid.
haha LordMike looks like a tool
I hate to break this to you, but that's what all S2k drivers look like

MX5 is the second best H gearbox I've used... S2000 is the best... the difference is very small though.
And I put a shortshifter on my '5 box... lol... gearstick tip movement is about 2 inches from 1st to second... haha!
Was very tempted to get a straight cut sequential box for my car... yeah, it's noisy... but i love the feel... just not worth 3 grand for one... that's more than the car & mods cost :S
For flinging around a track though... the mx5 crushes the s2000... mainly due to the weight I expect... you have to put on some good suspension & FI mods to get it to that stage though
