Default Hello I'm new

Hello to you all,

I am a big fan of the S2000 and I am thinking seriously about getting one soon. I have had a quick look round the forum and there seems to be some very nice motors on here.

Currently I am driving a Nissan 300ZX and while it is very powerful, quick and now (thanks to a load of mods) handles really well I am after something a little newer that will still be a lot of fun on the track.

I thought you might like to see a couple of pics.

Y'see now that's the kind of new post I like with pics. I'm like a child me!

Hi there
That's actually a really nice looking 300ZX without going too mental on the styling mods. Welcome to the money pit that is the Honda s2000

Nice Enkei's .. I had a set of those years ago. Gutted I sold them

Have a quick butchers at the popular thread at the moment. Quite a discussion about the S2k's unique performance (high bhp, no torque).

It may take a bit of getting used to.

Money pit? Compared to the 300 it will be cheap!

Make sure you stick to red if you buy one.

Nice pics BTW!

Thanks guys,

I am really quite happy with it, just bored and fancy a change.

There is no way that an S2000 is as much of a money pit as the 300ZX. Everything on these cars costs a fortune!

Interesting what you say about high bhp and low torque.
Last time I had the 300Zx on the rollers I had 342lb/ft of torque ond only 335 bhp! peak torque at 3500 RPM.
TBH it wasn't running right at the time.

I knew you lot would like some photos!!!

You don't need to mod them though
