Default Plannin on Getting another S2000

Hello S2k people..I used to own AP1 03' gpw s2000 but i sold it 2 years ago..
and I'm planning to come back to s2k after i sell my ITR.

I'm lookin at 04' AP2 used because it's the most i can
afford after selling my R for $19000
and i know 04' is the first year of AP2.
so i want to know if there's anything i have to watch out for when im buyin an AP2.

was there any recall or any problems you guys found out afterwards?

thanks guys and i hope i really end up getting this car again.

and here are is ex-ride..

Good choice stepping up to the AP2. The only complaint I hear of a lot is that the rear bumper doesn't fit as well around the taillight area. Mechanically, Honda did a beautiful job of improving on an already solid chassis.

And of course, the bitching and moaning of AP1 owners.

its understandable to want the nicer looking and faster one... you gonna get coils or are you going to lower it on springs?

I'll tell you what you should do:

Swift springs. Spoon intake duct. 66-70mm bore on the throttle body. Whatever exhaust you like. Then drive the snot out of it.
