I was browsing on ebay. I was looking to buy a s2000 in 6 months from now, and I've came across this one for a good price but super high mileage! Is this the highest s2k you guys seen?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...45#lg

It seem to be in a very good shape though.

 

not even close, i met a guy with 200k on the ticker couple years ago

there's some guys on s2ki.com over 200k, you can find out if you look around there.

<---almost 120k now, great compression and leakdown

 

How do they run with the high mileage? I know keep up the maintance and they'll run forever. But turbo wise?

The guy drove his car around untill 140K I think. I saw an other member with 140K with a supercharger that had to get a re built at 150K. Its all about how good the tune is and how good of shop the motor was in before the boost was on the motor... If you plan on boosting dont get one with millage like that...

 

I'm looking for one that is untouched and bone stock, clean as well. I just figured to see any more high mileage s2k around. Thats the highest I've seen so far.

 

Ive never seen over 150k in person just talked to people on the forum or seen pics. its not to un common to see them with 120K around here tho.

 

what year did they start making rear glass instead of plastic ones?

 

2003, you also have tweeters! annnnnd you dont have the apparent room carpet around the shifter...

what apparnet room you speak of?

 

yeah, Ill go take pic the apartment room carpet in my S2000

 

alright. post when you can.

 

Im gutting the car this winter so it doesn't matter...

 

so what am i looking at lol? all s2k are like this ?

 

the carpet looks like its from an apartment! the newer ones dont have the carpet center council, its more of a plastic tray of some sort... I guess you gotta see it in person!

 

oh! i never notice this. lol. okay, i'm going to look for 03 and above then.

 

thats about 27k miles/year... ****, my car only has 37k miles on it

i like my carpet... non-slip . only thing i wish my car had were tweeters, but hopefully my new speakers sound better than these garbage mtx's

 

With close to 200k, the motor is not going to last long with a turbo on it. Would be a perfect candidate for a turbo build-engine overhaul though.

The MMY 2000-01 is the only year with no tweeters and a carpeted center console. The 02+ have leather (not plastic!) covered center console and tweeters.

 

oh yeah I forgot about the leather! I dont like that also... no interior FTW

 

leather console?

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by White Smoke &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">It's really your call.... There are many things that make the 02 better. My fav being the option of ALL RED interior (yes I am biased) which was only available in 2002 (wht, blk, silver) and early 03 (silver only)

Changes in 2002:

As a design theme, Honda added "metallic accents" to the car inside and out.

Interior:

• Stereo gained digital bass/treble/fade/bal controls
• Stereo now has a silver faceplate from black
• Stereo now 30W/ch, up from 20W/ch
• Door speakers changed from paper cones to blue plastic
• Two additional speakers added in the doors - tweeters
• The shift **** now aluminum and wrapped leather
• Shift **** weighted - now heavier
• Black interior trim around the IP changed to dark gray (metallic look) plastic from black plastic
• Metal rings added to the interior door panel pulls
• The tonneu cover changed. There is only 1 clip on the each side to push in from underneath. Reportedly it is easier to attach and doesn't appear to 'flap' up like previous design
• Heat and A/C fan are more powerful. The 2nd and 3rd fan speeds are noticeably more effective
• The cup holder cover and trash hole behind it are textured plastic as opposed to the same untextured earlier ones
• The dead-pedal is now metal/rubber and matches the other pedals
• A leather console cover replaces the carpet console cover
• The soft-top now has a glass window and rear-defroster in place of the original plastic window
• The buttons for the defroster and cruse-control on switches are a different shape
• The new window defrost button is the cruise control on the right side of the steering wheel
• The tach indicator line is now white and the scale connected by a solid white arc line
• A second post has been added to the carpeted floor mats to secure them
• Very small storage pockets were added to the doors
• Metal placard on door sills slightly revised


Exterior:

• The shade of wheels are a slightly darker silver with a little more metallic-flake
• Chrome rings added to the tail-lights
• There is a small subtle change in the trunk lid shape at the rear, near the trunk brake light. Reportedly this was to meet the Federal safety standard measurements
• The outside Honda badges are larger
• Paint color changes were made. In the US, Sebring Silver replaced Silverstone Metallic (the newer is a brighter silver). Suzuka Blue Metallic was added


Chassis:

• The front sway bar was slightly reduced in size to provide a more forgiving ride.


Engine:

• ECU reprogrammed - 02-03 S2000s typically make ~10 more whp than 00-01s and run a bit less rich up top
• Oil banjo bolts upgraded
• Transmission "improved" (stated by Honda) for shifting</TD></TR></TABLE>

What are you talking about? You don't like the leather, you don't like the carpet... Those are the only 2 options offered.

Carpet:




Leather:




MUZ cover you can buy as replacement for carpet...

 

I know I don't like any of them! I saw a carbon fiber cover that looked ok tho...

 

i think i like leather

 

carbon fiber is gay, and i guess im just used to my carpet that i like it

i have to take my shift boot trim out & paint it black, the 'brushed aluminum' crap is fading & peeling
