Steven's 01 S2000
Hey guys, some of you may have seen my previous and rather short lived build thread on "CL-907" the white accord euro. Well I received a very unexpected offer for the car that I simply could not refuse, so within a couple days of that offer the car was with it's new owner... it was definitely sad to see this car go after 2 years of trying to make it one of a kind.
So the hunt begins for a new car and it had come down to 2 that I have always thought I would love to own one day, they're the R32 GTR and the S2000 however after taking some time to think I had set my mind on the s2000, I felt it was something i had to do now or i would regret not owning one down the track when it would just be impractical. At first i was set on an AP2 but after a bit of searching i realised the good ones where at crazy prices and the few that had a decent price tag were written off. So i gave up on them and started looking for an AP1, it had to have a good owner, reasonable km's on the clock and it had to be straight. To my surprise i had found one only a couple of days after making the switch to AP1's....
So here she is..
2001 Silverstone AP1 S2000
Just clicked over to 101 000km's, bought off a mature mother, full service history, always garaged, no accident history and in 100% original condition.
I was extremely happy with the purchase and I'm now a proud owner of a Honda s2000
. So obviously being 13 years old it's not perfect, It's unique to "clutch buzz" but thats nothing that really worry's me, also the previous owner bumped into a tow bar while reversing....
I was able to get the number plate surround and tow cover from work (honda dealer), but it would have to be sent to a body shop for the small dent on the bend in the bar and the dent on the bottom black lip.
She had also scrapped up under the front bar quite a bit, so i thought while the car was at the panel beater for the dents ill get the lip repaired, that way the car is in perfect condition before the mods begin...
To my surprise the number plate surround and tow cover came sprayed and we had them in stock, winning
Got the car back from the panel beaters, very pleased with the job they did.
So i proceeded to give the car a service using oem Honda and some Nulon oils, with a spark plug change and a tappet adjustment.
And a little interior touch up...
Stay tuned, mods to come
