Default Hello from Hampshire

Hello Guys,

I post having purchased my S2000 after very carefully finding a fastidiously cared for example with full Honda history, cobra alarm and new hood, disks, pads, tyres, new cat etc etc...

She is my 8th Honda including 2 concerto 16i-16's, 3 3rd Gen Prelude Vtecs ( of which 1 is my daily!), an Accord I-CTDI and recently an ATR...

Here she is after 3 hours polishing! I also painted the flaking backboxes in enamel black!


























Here is the ATR now owned by my best mate and Honda buddy:



And my daily driver Prelude (parked next to the milano red prelude I sold to my partners brother :-) )




I very much look forward to becoming an active member of the forum and getting involved in the varied meets that are populating the calender!


I have any major maintenance or works carried out at performance autoworks in Oxford and find Rich to be a legend.

The emissions light has illuminated on the S2K so Rich will be looking into this for me... I suspect it's a fault code thrown up by an aftermarket Cat or failing O2 sensor but a day at the Honda main dealer and they claim the ecu is failing!! ( unlikely I thought!).

Best wishes,

Paul

Awesome, pretty close then :-)

I'm planning to keep her close to OEM but I have some red resin badges on order, I'm going to paint the callipers red and I'd like the premium red mats but hope to find them for less than £165!

I have fitted the clear side repeaters and a k&n replacement cone filter for the OEM air box following reading that other intakes can result in heat soak etc..

I loved the roar of the typhoon on the ATR;-)

I'm more likely to modify the Prelude.... Suspension is tired at 16yrs old unlike the tight s2k! :-)

Please contact me if there are any local Honda meets I should know about...

Best wishes

Hi Paul,

Looks like a nice example you've got there.

Good to see another fellow Fareham owner on the forum.... quite a few around here that don't appear on the forum. Hopefully see you around and about! If you just fancy a drive or need any mechanical/fault finding assistance I'm more than happy to lend a hand being local just send me a PM.

Be good if you can get along to the rolling road. Myself and Loftust (also a Fareham member) will both be attending, so possible meet and drive in convoy to Hedge end if you fancy it .
