Default Bought a '02 S2000

I've only had it a couple of days, so I haven't had time to clean it up and take some good pics.

...but here it is. 23,000 miles. Black-on-Black



I've already removed all the dealership stuff (front plate holder, dealer's sticker on the back and on the windshield, and the license plate frame), thankfully they used the stock holes in the front bumper. I've seen some many dealerships just drill screws into the bumper.

For the car will be pulling DD duties, but I would like to give it a little personal flare. Looking at either 6ULR or CCW Classics in 17x9 front and rear and a nice, mature single exit exhaust. It's possible the car might get some power upgrades and use the car as a show piece for the company, but I don't want to go wild with the modifications...that's what I have the Wagon and CRX for.

They did that to my friends S2000 and they didnt even drill the holes straight! Nice buy!

CR Front Sway and Springs/Shocks.

...and a set of 225/50-16 Hankook RS3s. That should get me through 2011.

I still have the B16B swapped CRX as my racecar, and it's been begging for a cage for almost 2 years now.

Copycat

I'm going to get some RS3s for this summer, I have a CR front sway sitting in the garage waiting for warmer weather for the install, and I'm already rocking KW Coilovers and Carbotech XP10/XP8 for the track.

(04 Silverstone in Tulsa).

Very good looking car! Black is a nice blank slate to start with.

Take good care of her!

So.... If I had a pristine black '00 with 30k on it, what could I expect to get out of it if I sold it?
