Suspension was changed too so it was more than just a facelift.
Bought an S2000!

I'm offended you even felt the need to mention that.
You need nice looking sidewalls
I'm going to pick up mates new one on Monday. Will be interesting to see how a standard one drives
Face lift came in 2004 with some suspension changes and a better interior.

That's the exact same year and spec I'm going to buy myself as a birthday present in October.
Enjoy (you ****)

Good stuff.
They hold their value!
Hmmm... I sold my 2008 with 24k on the clock, for £12k last year

How's does the S2k compare to the 350z then man?
Thanks guys
I wont be picking it up until Monday or Tuesday so too early to give a full writeup yet. Initial impressions are awesome.
I had a DC2 R for a couple of years and getting back into a vtec engined car just feels right. I did love the zed but at times I found it a bit drama-less...if that makes sense? It was fast and handled well but I felt it just lacked that certain something. For me the S2000 has it.

Look forward to the writeup.
I did consider an S2K over the 350z but the lol insurance put me off. £2.5K hmm no thanks!
I'm not sure how I would get on with a soft top all year but I reckon I would be ok tbh. The only other thing is the space inside, I am pretty tall and after sitting in one at a Honda show room I can't imagine long drives would have been enjoyable.
Definitely agree about the S2K being more of a sports car. The 350z feels like an occasion to me though, I love the low growl it makes

When looking at both myself the insurance did almost put me off, can't really understand how the s2k should cost more to insure than the 350z?
Happy with my decision though

Epic cars, I love mine
Bah picture won't show up.

I would imagine it is the combination of back end happy handling with a soft top and it being the most desirable honda money can buy (bar the NSX).

24 with 6 years NCB, and £620 in a good part of Bath... (few minor modifications) and excess ~ 300
Maybe its my optimism, but I'd have still thought ~300BHP 3.5L v6 > 2L 240bhp 4pot in terms of insurance madness?
Insurance group also, 45 for the 350z and 40 for the S2k
