Default My Triumphant Return: Almost . . .

It's not a return to the Type-R but I am as close as I will get for a while. I bought a TSX last July thinking it was time for something more refined. I grew tired of that in about 4 to 5 months and it was just a matter of time till I did something different. I tuned Jetydosa's Type-R last month and they just set my soul on fire. Not really ready to start the hunt for a 1998 fairly priced Type-R in good shape and wanting to still do something different (I've owned 4 Integras since Aug of 1998 and 2 were Type-R's), I narrowed it down to 2 cars. The G35 lost and this won . . .

(It's not CW but I will settle for Grand Prix White with Black Interior)






This car is a blast to drive and I am enjoying cars again (Still Mountain Bike Racing primarily though).

Yes and No. I'm not sure I will any longer. I have a 2005 Pathfinder if I need space and the S2000 is awesome stock. I do love R's thought and don't think an S2000 is any better just different.

What made you choose the S2000 over the G35?

I would have gone with the S2000 as well

Is that a 2006? Looks like the refined the look of the stock wheels even more, I love it!

RWD in a car as light and neutral as the s2000 is very exhilirating, just be careful

Did they improve the interior any more for 2006? And please tell us you have the OEM hardtop on order!

It is a 2006. I do prefer the 2004/2005 wheels thought

The interior has some very subtle changes but nothing notable. They added traction control which was actually a selling factor for me and RWD . I can drive FWD but RWD and I are just getting acquainted.

OEM hardtop will be ordered shortly. It is a must have.
