Default Such a nasty S2k

This thing is badass, and it's going for less than the amount of money put into it! God I wish I had the money. Check this beauty out.

It has nothing to do with the parts. It is how they displayed them. Did they really need to paint the car that way? And asking for $25,000 on a salvaged title.... really? You can't even insure the car for theft.

To each his own, that's what makes us human, right?

Only shame I see is the SK2 not seeing track times, 8(.

This car is not my style by any means. I do personally think the car is over the top, but that is just my opinion.

However, this car is not rice by any means. A car where every performance aspect is covered, can not be a riced out car. This car was up for sale on s2ki and got all positive reviews. Even if you don't particularly care for the style (myself included), if you are a car enthusiast at all you must respect the attention to detail in this car.

looks like a show car but with VERY little work that could be a race car. It does have everything and then some.

You can insure it, the insurance company will just give you the amount that the car is valued at when the first claim was submitted.

meaning... if the car was valued at $20,000 when it first was a total loss, but was sold from the insurance company for $10,000... it's now valued at $10,000... and whatever happens to it will be based on that value.

I don't know about other states but I know in California if you have a salvage title it can be very hard to get full coverage/ comprehensive coverage, they will mostly give you liability only.

First off, I am not trying to argue, just prove a point that this car is not rice. Saying that it is not your style is one thing, but calling this car a rice bucket is blasphemy. A "rice burner" is typically a car that is all show and no go. If you would read the extensive list of parts on this car, it would become quite apparent that this car is well built. As stated above, very little work (if any) work would be needed to make this car a complete track monster.

So because he chose parts that are of good quality and happen to be expensive you say it's a ricer because u feel he's not using it to it's full potential? Hmm.

The car ain't my cup of tea, but you cant Knock the craftsmanship. It looks well put together.

I agree with you. I don't think this S2000 is that bad. You could easily sell the parts you don't want and fix it up for some track time.
