Default Hi, new to the forum from Ontario Canada

Hi,
Taking delivery of my second S2000. First one was a silver 2005 AP2, this one's an original owner grey 2001 AP1 with just 30,000km (18,000miles). It's totally stock with all matching numbers, no accidents and original perfect paint. Top is showroom as is the interior. I've owned a 1966 Porsche 912, 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and currently a 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV in Monte Carlo Blue with CCB as well as an Acura RDX daily driver. Hope to enjoy the S2000 on weekend drives and hearing the V-Tec scream. I'll post some pics in the coming days and look forward to interaction with other forum members.
Rick

Welcome, Rick! Calgary Alberta here. Also on my second S2000 now after parting with my first love, an AP1 that I bought new in 2001. I stayed with the AP1 though, although not half as nice as what yours sounds. Happy Motoring!

Congrats from Nova Scotia! I've owned my first year S2000 from new and it has about 45K km on the clock. Never gets old. Have you figured out if you prefer the rawness of the early car, or your AP2?

Honestly, there is very little difference to me. I do find the ride a little stiffer in the AP1 as opposed to the 2005. Perhaps the 17" wheels make it so. The V-Tec does come on a little earlier in the AP2. The upgrades on the AP2 are good but are a compromise. I've owned an Alfa Romeo 4C which is a no compromise full-out racecar for the street. I like 'no compromise'.

Congrats on the car! I am not sure if i am delusional or not but i am starting to see the desirability of AP1 starting to surpass AP2 because of the "rawer" experience. Love the 9k redline.

Default Looking for some help with my 2007 S2000

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the best place to post this but…I have a 2007 Black S2000 with about 80k kilometres.. Recently it threw a code for a “Throttle Postion Sensor Switch Voltage Correlation” issue. I’d like to find someone in the Ottawa area that is familiar with the S2000 to have a look at it. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks Bruce
