Bought an S2000!

richyfingers · 4 May 2012 at 20:07

Did the deal tonight,

2005 GT
50k
Full honda service history
Bushes checked and re-greased
Recently refurbished alloys
New disks and pads as of 6 months ago
MOT'd and taxed until next year
Recent front end re spray
Hardtop and stand.

Was up for £8900 and I got it in the end for £8300

It does need two new rear tyres soon and the fronts will need done in the next 6 months.

Plans for the future, new exhaust and possibly an intake and I want smooth the front end and remove the light washers.

The pic's!

Looks great, fantastic price.

Intake - AEM V2 or K&N FIPK - best value for BHP increase.. .or just gut the standard intake airbox, put an aftermaket filter on, and get a snorkel

Exhaust - Cat back or full hog.... Cat Back i'd suggest depending on budget either a Greddy Spectrum Elite as entry level, Mugen mid range, or a J's 60/70 RS single or dual if you have loads ! Full hog? pick a matching manifold and either a Berk Sports Cat or Decat pipe.

Or... just take the airbox lid off.

Very very nice ! Not a bad price for the age and mileage.

There was a simliar one in blue that was a 55 plate with 49K miles for £8K from a dealer few months ago.

I really like the alloys on this version of the S2000, not the 5 spoke ones.

The blue ones don't seem to command the same premium as the other colours. They are always a few hundred quid cheaper than the black/silver/grey.

Love the interior colour combo!

Welcome to the club! Enjoy it.

Get the airbox lid off if you want a quick and dirty increase in induction volume.

I am sure you know about both already but just incase you do not hit up s2ki.com and s2kuk.co.uk

I got my front end smoothed recently, thread about it here:

Great car I love mine

Love it, almost as much as mine, I prefer the full red interior, but thats just me I guess, make sure you sign up to the s2ki forums and also worth signing up to the s2ki owners club for discounts on just about everything.

Bought mine 3 weeks ago and its barely stopped raining since

Nice. Awesome cars for the price and feeling of an event everyday.

Simon · 4 May 2012 at 22:15

Very nice. That example is the definition of a sports car.

richyfingers · 4 May 2012 at 22:25

Just itching to get my mits on it properly, the weather has been pretty decent up here, plus i finish up for 3 weeks holiday next week

Make sure you put decent tyres on her

I'm offended you even felt the need to mention that.

When did the face lift come in on these? Where there any other major changes too?

Yours looks lovely by the way. Seriously considering getting one similar myself!
