if this is different from the general introduction... then i'll indroduce myself again... so bear with me...
my name's ching from a small town called vallejo...
i just got my 2006 New Formula Red S2k on Apr. 27, 2006. its been my dream car for years and its finally here... unfortunately so are my license plates... so yea... say hi to me when you see me around! i love other friendly s2 owners... it always makes my day when people wave back
oh and if anyone knows where i can find an OEM hardtop that'd be awesome... coz apparently honda stopped making them... "all orders since january 2006 have been posted indefinitely because honda is trying to find a cheaper way to manufacture hardtops"
and also if people could give me advice on what to use to clean/protect my softop... that'd be great....

Hi John,
I got my S2000 hardtop a few months back but I know someone who's looking for one for his new 2006 S2000. Can this item still be ordered or is it currently unavailable?
Thanks,
Tony

03 - 9krpm, 16" rims
04-05 - 8krpm, more torque/weight, 17" rims, softer ride, different headlights/tailights/front bumper/rear bumper, better gas mileage
06 - different wheel styling, softer seats, Vehicle Stability Assist(can be swicthed off), rollbar speakers(just tweeters), maintenance minder system, thermometer, new laguna blue available, not too many mods available yet
it's more a matter of taste as to what the best year is, the newer ones might be more reliable since they don't turn such high rpm
