Default Scratched an itch

So I have been debating selling my isf and moving to a newer car or adding a manual two door as a different option and overall different kind of car to drive around. We'll I'm not ready to get rid of the F. I have had and loved S2000. So I started looking around for a unique one, found it, closed the deal today and will be picking it up late next month. It will make my isf a nice garage buddy.

2007 Honda S2000 dark grey with red leather 50k
Fully built 10.1 motor
TTS race supercharger 16 psi
Comptech reinforced rear differential
Return fuel system, id1000s, walbro 255 & a boost a pump
Hondata flash pro
Competition stage 3 clutch and upgraded fly wheel.
480whp & 290 wtq

Coming with an uninstalled polished stainless steel roll bar as a plus.
Complete sleeper, even a full factory exhaust. Can't wait it should be a blast

Congrats! I used to have an 04 S2000 and really enjoyed it. Shouldn't have gotten rid of it.

I wish I never sold my last ap2! I'm jealous! Congrats. That must be a newer style SC as I don't recall seeing that when I had one. It looks like a rotrex style head unit, is that right?

I love the sleeper look. Want to share what kind of coin it took to make the deal? I would be interested in something similar if I could find it...

Nearly 40% difference in hp to tq.. Might wanna consider a jz swap at the price of which you'll be building that motor. Idk maybe it's just me and my hate of Hondas, I have a civic haven't driven it since I bought my isf in October, that and my love of Toyota products..

It's funny that you had that itch... Just a moment ago, I was looking at this:

http://www.midwestmotors.com/2002-po...rera-c-88.htm?

It's under 30k and it's a manual. I know it's not that powerful, but I already have a couple of fast cars. It appears to be in great condition and it has low miiles to boot.

Anyways, congrats on the purchase! It does look like it's in excellent condition!

very very nice pick up bud. Many happy miles. A buddy back in the day had 2 comptech S2ks. Those things fly. They weigh 2800 lbs so the HP addition really goes a LONG way

The interior shot is of an 04-05 fyi. The 06+ had a dark center console and the seats are different. Just be mindful of that when you see the car.

Well you can see from the two pics posted that it is either an entirely different car or the interior was totally swapped at some point. The top pic appears to have the 06+ interior in all black and the middle pic has a different interior entirely.

That said, congrats on the find. I owned two different S2000s over the years. My last one was a Silverstone 2005 with a Greddy turbo kit, Volks and an OEM hardtop. It was a blast, but it got to the point where I rarely drove it at all. Plus, I was always messing with something on that car. I think I'd have been happier keeping it OEM, or perhaps going with a supercharger instead.
