there's so many pics of my various s2000's but I think I've had almost every color except red, black and the two blue's....

My Rio is still my favorite color, Comptech Supercharged good for 304 rwhp:


And my current GPW getting a host of new mods and custom interior right now:

You went back to an S2000 after a GT3?

Right on. Rear motored cars are such a unique driving experience.

Had an 04 GPW S2000, sold in last October, then traded in my STI for the F. Decided that owning 2 'sports cars' was not really worth it, as I already had a DD Corolla.

Loved the S2000 during the spring/summer/fall when it wasn't 95 degrees out - we have a lot of windy back roads where I am at so it was a blast. Just wasn't practical enough.

^The s2000 is one of those NEVER practical but ALWAYS MUST HAVE cars.....

If you live in inclement weather climates like the midwest it's hard to justify I know since I grew up in Chicago! Kinda explains why I never had an s2000 until I moved out west

Mosquitos, humidity, snow, all take the fun out of ownership for sure but in warmer climates this is a near perfect daily driver especially with the price of gas at over 4 bucks a gallon right now. The IS-F just does not make sense and certainly not eco-friendly for a DD but at least I feel better than those Hummer guys though...

I ran Tien Flex on my previous 2 cars, then tried PSS9 and now running Apexi coilovers.

All of them are ok with on issues on any of them but I really want to try the KWV3's on the s2000 since I love the ride with those in my IS-F.

I finally finished building a load-bearing shelf in the garage in my new house and got it cleaned up enough to snap some pics. We still have our 2000 S2k...sorry, all vehicles in the pic are very dusty/dirty. The garage is still in the beginning stages of being made functional, but at least I now have some elbow room.

Best I post in here as well. I sold my 04' 450whp Mase Turbo'd S2k for my 08 Obsidian Black ISF. My s was obviously faster and gave more of that insane drive feel (felt like you were taking off in a jet), but the ISF is plenty powerful and fun to drive with a ton of class.

^wow nice garage Gymkata! I see we share similiar tastes in 2-wheel vehicles

any other rides besides the IS-F and s2000? Reason I ask is neither are really practical cars so you must have another suv or something?
