Default Just got an ap1

I sold my integra after all the years and money ive spent on it. I had over 40 grand in that car and i hated to see it go. But im done with buildin b series so i went and bought an s2000.

I got a 2001 grand prix white with red and black interior. It has 34,000 miles and is in perfect condition. i got it for 17,800. Was this a good price for the year and mileage? It is completly stock.

im just wondering the little things i should do to it right off the bat. Im sure theres some **** noone but people that have been around s2000 would know. i dont know tooo much about the f series. give me about 6 months though and this thing will be boosted. i can't live without my boost!

thanks guys. sorry if i sound like a little noob bitch but im just excited ya knoww.

congrats on the car. Isn't it a little late to be asking if the price was a good deal though? LOL


I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I don't know how you spend $40k in your Integra...I could never do that.

Boost the S2k.

Cool.

I see you are in Gaithersburg...you ever deal with Altered Atmosphere? A friend of mine has his 350Z tuned down there a couple years ago.

Congrats!

Since you are new and have a plastic window car...don't put the top down when it is cold out or you may crack the window. Read the owner's manual to find out more.

i let an integra go for the S as well.
yes it was sad, but the S helps cope with the loss.

congrats on the pick up.

Congrats on the purchase and the price you bought it for does sound good.

I would highly suggest you get all the maintenance stuff done to it before you go and mod it. Since you're not the original owner, you should consider checking up on how the car is now.

The first thing I did was change all my fluids, just to be sure.

2 hole banjo bolts vs 4 hole banjo bolts. Supposely an upgrade is needed if you have the 2-holed version.

00-01, banjo bolts for oil squirters. It's inside your motor.
