well last week i sold my integra and i was going to wait until FEB. to buy my s2000 buy tuesday i was looking on the Auto Trader and found exactly what i was looking for. A black on red 2000 for 17000 so i called the owner who lives in florida he told me the car was in perfect condition he was selling it because he needed the space in his garage... so i flew down on thursday paid cash and drove two days streight and just got home last night im soooo in love with the car its in perfect condition not a single ding in the whole car its crappy weather at home so ill get pics as soon as i can but i cant wait to get started on this car...

 

Wow, congrats on the car. It's always sketchy to buy a car so far from you, but it's great that you found no problems with it.

Just watch out for that RWD, it's a whole different world.

Too bad I just got my S2K stolen on Wednesday.

 

Yep. I got to be the passenger. Wow, that was a long drive.

s2k sotel. I thought you had to have the key to drive them. Theifs are getting that high tech now

 

sweeeet! i wish i had one

 

o yea i was wondering are u still selling ur ssr comps cause im interested. i had tried many times to get intouch with u but u never replied. so jus tell me what the deal is with wheels. thanks

 

good price. have you done a carfax on that car? just to see the title and ect.. is good

 

Congrats man. Welcome to the club. You'll find out that S2000 owners are a pretty friendly crowd.

 

thanks for the welcome sorry but the wheels are sold
and as far as carfax goes its all clear i still havnt had time to post any pics but i will as soon as i can

by the way i was just wondering what are some weak parts of the s2000 IE: transmission, axles ect. just wondering

 

The entire drivetrain isnt exactly strong per se, but the rear end and clutch are the two weaker areas imo.

 

The clutch itself is fine, it's the pressure plate that is weak. Correct? The diff. reportedly doesn't hang too well with high rpm launches however I don't do that in this car. I'm too scared.

Don't mis-shift and downshift from 5 to 2.

 

there's nothing wrong with the drivetrain and powertrain, only people that abuse it. You can't expect any car to take clutch dumps from 6k+ rpms.

 

congrats - great price I am looking for one too...

 

thanks guy here are a couple of teaser pics they are all i have right now but ill get some better ones up asap


again sorry for the crappy pics ill try to have better ones by this weekend weather permitting

 

you guys are crazy. Impulsive bastard! Looks really good though hope you're real happy with what you got!

 

nice

Not gonna question your authority on the s2k's, just wanted to say my bro consistantly launches at 7000-7500 with Victoracers. I keep telling him he'll break the diff tho. When I owned it I only launched at 6500 on street tires (and very rarely at that). So far he's proven me wrong though, it's held up very well.

There are ways to launch the car where you'll minimize the damage and it's through pre-loading the powertrain. I suspect that is what you and your brother did rather than sidestepping the clutch. I'd say the only think taking heat right now would be the clutch in your system and bearings of the diff.

 

He;s just straight up dumping the clutch, no easing into it at all. It is enough to make the victoracers break traction though. Could that be helping, that they're breaking a little traction? Or is he just getting lucky so far ya think?

 

you paid cash?

baller.......................

 

so how did you like the nashville skyline????

bryant told me you guys drove through here on the way back

 

roadtrip in a new S2000

 

yeah it sucked that car wasnt meant for long trips thats for sure
