Are any of those images a real pic of your car?
Engine shot shows it has an intercooler, but in the first pic you don't see anything in the front. Also, the engine shot is of a RHD S2000. So all 3 pics are of 3 different cars.
Sleeper or no sleeper, I definitely wouldn't be on stock wheels rolling 245 tires with 480whp & 290 wtq.

I'm impressed by the honda knowledge in here. The first pic is the actual car. Which has a red interior vbb. The second two I snagged offline to show the color combo and the blower on the car. The pictures the seller sent over came across so small I didn't want to post them. They were super pixelated when blown up. I know the owner who put the car together and was I present for some of the build. I should of waited to post till it was sitting in my driveway but I got excited to share with car buddies as the woman was like cool I can go to work with the top down.....

I pulled the two pics and will replace them with some new shots soon.

Inter cooler on the car is black. Changing tires is easy. Prox888 with stock wheels would lock up just fine.

Nice job!

Big fan of the S2000.

Got my wife one a while back with the colour coded hardtop.

It was Nurburgring blue with black interior.

Did anyone else see the Viper powered one of these that was on Craigslist a couple of months back? Now I bet that was fun!!

Great buy darbs.

That driver's side seat in the first pic definitely looked black to me. But as people have said, the car looks like it was very well maintained. We just wanted to make sure you didn't buy a car from a guy online that had posted those pics because that would have been suspicious. I remember when the 06+ seats came out there were a lot of people who wanted to switch to the more solid headrest seats rather than the hollow hoop headrests in the earlier AP2s. I had silverstone with a black interior but always wanted the black/red combo, so I think you definitely got the best interior offered. My first S2000 was a 2004 Berlina Black with black interior and I kept that engine stock. In some ways my completely stock engine was more fun than my turbo, but I was happy to have experienced both. The supercharger is the preferable method of boost for those cars, so I like your build.

Have fun with it!

The whole top half of the seats are black. The center sections and door panels are red. It's this interior

Nice pickup! Enjoy it! The pictures def threw me off as well. First thought was that somebody tried to take you for stupid. There's so many shady sellers out there these days. Especially with S2000's. I've had two of them in the past 10 years. Fun cars as long as you have another car sitting in the garage. Here is an interesting thought for you. We are currently building a S2000 with an LS1 swap. It's kind of odd, but what the client wants, the client gets! This car will be nuts!

Very happy for you Darbs!
So uncanny how small this world is...I was torn between an s2000 and an evo after searching these past two months.
I ended up going with the evo, but when the time is right, I will definitely add an s2000 to the stable...although that will happen way down the road.
You have one of my dream cars! Looks beautiful inside and out, and awesome performance specs with the build. Enjoy it with good heart.

Here's the evo:

VJ. HEY YOU.
Darbs appreciates a fellow car lover's post, so I'm not thread jacking
I haven't had a sponsorship from anyone (which does include my parents) for a while.
What, a college student can't afford an evo?
