Whats going on everyone. I'm new to the whole s2000 world but I've recently got a huge jump into it. I just purchased a 2001 s2000 from Orlando and waiting delivery of it. The car is coming with full exhaust, intake, stage 3 clutch, new glass top, ap2 center console, ground control lowering sleeves, and a new head unit. I also have rpf1s on the way with 255/40s on all four corners.

Hello!
New owner of an AP1 S2000 in Sydney, Australia (roughly 2 weeks now). Not new to the car scene but this is a little history:
1996 Toyota Celica (ST204R)
1996 Honda Prelude VTI-R
1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTST (This was my first ever car I started to do my own modifications. Made 310rwks or roughly 420hp at the wheels)
1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTST (Ok, I sold my previous GTST as I thought I was over the mod scene but turns out I wasn't and ended up buying another one *doh*)
2000 Nissan Skyline R34 GTST
1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR Series 1(Got this to 350 awkws or roughly 475hp)
2000 Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Vspec I (This made 480awkws or roughly 650hp)
2000 Nissan Silvia Spec R (I kept this around 200rwkws or roughly 270hp as this was more track orientated. I concentrated alot more on handling components on this car)
1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR Vspec Series 3 (What can I say? I love the curves on this boat! This one I managed 649awkws on my first ever E85 experience or roughly 880hp with a STOCK bottom end!! This fuel is BLOODY amazing!)
Now I am a proud owner of an S2000. Obviously not as fast as my previous cars but I will rectify that shortly
I am still a member of the Skylines Australia (SAU) community and have been for over 10 years. They are very much like this community here on S2KI which is why I decided to join up. Members are always helpful and provide actual results and experience. Very little keyboard warriors.
To be honest, I have spent alot of my time on here reading up on technical articles figuring out what I can and can not do with my s2k which will definitely help down the track.
I do plan to turbo charge my s2k and put it on E85 (once you experience boost and E85 you will NEVER stay with anything else for very long) as quickly as possible. The turbo choice will be a 6262 as I have used it before on my Series 3 R33 GTR and LOVED the way it responds to more boost and on E85 with very quick spool response for such a high powered turbo. Really I could of used the typical 3076 but that just seems boring haha
Oh, the only mods to the s2k is a new soft top with the glass window, side pods (not sure what you guys call them here in the states but they came on the AP2s here in Australia) and a sound system. Has around 150,000 kms on the engine and it is still healthy as an ox.
Looking forward to posting up results once I start building the s2k!

Hello about two weeks ago I picked up a 2000 Silverstone ap1 with 130k. I absolutely love it and this forum has been a great help to me. I also own another Honda which is a 2006 Accord LX sedan which is "bone stock" Looking forward to all the info/help I'll receive from this site.

Hi guys. I just purchased my 2002 S2000 on the 4th of July and am planning on turning it into an autocross car and would eventually like to get it in some open drift and road courses. Looking for advice on a good set up for these purposes. If anyone has any, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys... I'm an OG member who's been gone for a while... I originally bought a 2002 GPW new and sadly, it was wrecked by a crap driver who made a U-turn into me as I was going by... I used the insurance dough to buy a 1996 Dodge Viper GTS, which I still have but I've never forgotten how much I loved that S2000. About a month ago, I bought another 2002 GPW located in Tennessee, it's finally been picked up and it's headed out to SoCal. I cannot friggin' wait.
It's practically new with only 9600mi! As soon as it gets here: oil change, brake swap, fluid flush and the CANYONS!!!! AP1 FTW!!! Can't wait to reconnect with you guys! Cheers!
