Don't listen to anyone telling you to get a Miata over an S2000. I love mine and regret nothing

Residency Evil posted:While we're on the topic, how bad of an idea would it be to sell my practical, low mile, great condition, APR Stage I, 2010 GTI for an S2000 while living in Wisconsin? Everyone asks me "how can you drive that thing in the snow?". I'll tell you a secret, it's easy as piss to control. Easier than you could ever imagine. I live in Massachusetts, so while we have winter we don't necessarily have "real winter" like some of the northern states such as where you are. So while I didn't have a hard time at all using only allseasons, I would get a set of blizzaks where you live. The only thing keeping you from being able to go anywhere will be sheer volume of snow on the ground because you don't have a ton of ground clearance. Elwood P. Dowd posted:I went from a 1992 Buick century to a 2006 S2000 back in '09 and I am ruined when it comes to other cars. Nothing has as good a gearbox, as fun and responsive an engine, as firm a brake pedal or as driver-centric a control layout as my S2000. It does have its flaws but I still may never sell it. The only thing I can think to replace it with would be a Cayman and that's just silly. I'd never get rid of mine to get something else, it would always be I have it and want something else in addition. Like you notice there are only certain cars now that seem "interesting" enough now, and I was already really picky to begin with. I still really want an FD for instance Nodoze fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Apr 7, 2014 |

The funny thing is seats aren't too hard to come by if you need some, sets usually go for like 4-500 bucks on the forums

I don't know that a rake would cause that dent  If you get that we can be Suzuka pals though!

I would say that is a fair price on that car. Laguna blue is sexy as hell too

Dwight Eisenhower posted:I wouldn't get an AP1 unless it was an '03 just to avoid the crappy plastic back window and get a proper glass one. My 02 has a glass window  2002 and up have glass windows, and most likely anything before that has had the top replaced by now unless it's a barn find.

Muffinpox posted:For a sports car they're pretty cheap to run. S2000 specific parts are expensive (shocks/axles/diff/etc) but people mod their cars or write them off enough that you can find low mileage used parts pretty cheap. 4 new shocks is like $800 from a dealer, I got 4 shock/springs from a written off car with 11kmi on it for $50. They also tend to hold value pretty well due to the amount of writeoffs, I bought mine for 10k at 99kmi and kbb says it's worth about 10k at 133kmi 3 years later, although I doubt I could get much more than 8 or 8.5. I need to replace mine at some point, I'm just going to spring for the beefed up ones with a lifetime warranty when I replace it

It's an AP1 with an AP2 front end, unless someone played a cruel joke on him and it's actually an AP2 with AP1 wheels
