r/S2000

but....I find myself lusting after an e46 m3. Its been my dream car since the early '00s. Would love to hear from those who have owned both regardless of what you own now.

'05 ap2

167k miles

1 owner

10/10 vins

s3 suspension

j's racing offset ball joint + rca

fujitsubo legalis r

enkei nt03

forbidden usa hardtop

otherwise stock

next phase will involve wider front fenders, j's rear fenders, OE style lip + df splitter, rx7 style side splitter and a jdp diffuser (still searching) and og hayashi centerlocks.

I may strongly consider selling/trading for an e46 m3. Am I crazy?

Slap these ap2v2 rims on for a few days to see how it look before the much awaited Mugens arrives and wow these give the car such a refined, modern, clean, and slight luxuriously feels compared to the V1 I have had for over a decade. What y’all think?

I’m going to see a 2006 Honda S2000 this weekend with 41k miles. Seller and I agreed on $28k if everything checks out.

From the pictures, the car looks very clean. Seller says all fluids were recently done, tires have around 4k miles, and brakes (pads + rotors) were done around 35k.

A couple things I noticed/was told:

•	Soft top doesn’t seem to fully go down

•	Front left fender was replaced by previous owner (Carfax shows no accidents)

I’m planning on doing a PPI with compression and leak-down test when I see it tomorrow

Is there anything else I should specifically look out for on an AP2? And does $28k seem fair given the replaced fender?

Alright guys, I joined the club and couldn’t be happier. I have big plans for the car as far as mods go but will be doing most of the work myself. The final form will include a SOS Stage 2 supercharger. It will take me some time to get there mostly due to my wife killing me over the money I’m going to spend. 🤣 So, I will be doing it in stages.

I’d like to get exhaust, intake, tune, headers etc. Leading to the final piece, the SOS kit at some point in the future. However, I don’t want to buy aftermarket parts that will not be ideal for the SOS kit forcing me to spend more money replacing parts.

My timeline for having it in its final form is around 2 years, but don’t want to wait until then to start adding aftermarket parts.

The consensus may be to do nothing until I’m ready to do it all. That’s what I’m trying to find out. Thanks for reading and y’all’s input!

nice to still see some s2k related stuff!

Got it for $120 in Japan, I think it fits perfectly with the red/black interior. Perfect mix of leather and metal imo!

I’ve owned this AP1 for nearing on a decade and never had to replace the brakes. They had plenty of material still but I was tired of the mediocre compound and suboptimal appearance of the OEM rotors so here we are. Went with the PowerStop Z26 kit.

Install was a breeze, almost like it was a brand new car. No issues with the rotor retention screws or any slide pins or boots. Not a bad job to get done before the workday.

A deer totaled my 14 civic si so I ended up getting this 2000 s2k 150k miles for $13,500. Fresh repaint but the rear glass in the top is broke. Not perfect but seemed like a deal I had to jump on. Do you guys feel it was worth the price? And bonus there’s this funny tv static sort of noise coming from the engine bay and figured you guys would know what’s going on there. Appreciate any help I can get!

Had these spare when I got my S2K.
