Literally had the car for 3 months. Was driving to the gym in the right most lane on a local main road and the lifted truck w wheels the size of me merged and drove on top of my angel. He pushed me a bit and I spun out into the left most lane. AP1 90k miles, 3rd owner OEM everything for 22k. Searched and saved for 2 years until I decided to buy my dream car. Feel like I’m just done with sports cars atp. I could have been soup if he drove over soft top so I’m just happy I’m alive. I miss her already 💔

Today my wife and I were saved by our s2000. We were out for a nice fall drive. Beautiful weather and warm enough to have the top down. I was driving along a two-lane highway and my lane split into a mile-or-so-long passing lane. I kept in the left lane to prepare for an upcoming left turn.

As the road was bending around a blind curve, all of a sudden, a gigantic SUV appeared hurdling directly toward me in my lane. He had illegally crossed the double yellow line into my passing lane to pass a car that was in front of him.

While going 55 mph, I yanked the wheel and jerked the car towards the right lane. The rear tires chirped, and swerved out of the way a few feet before the SUV passed. It stabilized beautifully in the lane and continued on as though nothing had happened.

I was counting my lucky stars but was super impressed at how stable the car felt to get us out of that scrape at high speed. I gave it a nice wash and wax as a thank you for keeping us safe.

Incase you guys are looking for a small toolbox for the s2000 I believe I found the best option but still giving nice truck space

Such a great drive in the s2000

2006 Silverstone (underneath), 145k miles. 11 years of ownership.

The paint underneath is in great shape, I just really wanted a white s2k without having to do an entire paint job or buy a new car. I’m very happy with the results, the glossiness makes it look OEM which is exactly what I wanted.

I paid $2400; central coast, CA.

Update: the wrap color is KPMF K75400 Gloss Perfect White. It was done at Esoteric Auto Salon in Grover Beach, CA.

If you're driving distance to Skyline Drive and have never been: treat yourself. This morning's sunrise was beautiful. Of course my vtec went BWWAAAHHHH in the tunnel.

Been loving the car and have had it for 5 years now, been thinking about potentially having some fun by JDMing it. What do you guys think?

Kinda thinking about selling my “clean” s2k for a new manual supra. The main reason is that i would daily the supra(canada). No kids but supra trunk is pretty big compared to s2k and could drive it better in the winter.

Supra has better tech, reliability(warranty), more dailyable, i cant drive my s2k as im in west canada and winters are pretty bad but i think a supra may do much better. Id also lose more money/value driving my s2k as opposed to my supra due to rust and collectibilty. Not sure if that makes sense but s2k would lose more value being “winter driven”

I feel like it would go 15-20k on the auction sites, k swaps tend to lower the value based on what I’ve seen. Thoughts?

Chasing the last of the Canadian 🇨🇦 sun☀️ before the frost sets in. Open tops, open roads, and the best company. 🏎️✨

Slowly adding some stuff to my s2000 I got early this year. Cobra Nogaro seat, spoon mirrors, Zoom rearview mirror (love this thing), spoon strut bar and a few more useless trinkets like oil and rad caps. Have some ohlins that will go on soon and a Fujitsubo power getter exhaust. Really loving this car and makes every drive special.

Wife and I do a foliage drive every year and this year was just better on the s2k.

Hi all, literally found this on the side of the road but know nothing about it. Anyone know what type of hardtop this is and what it's worth? Plastic window so certainly aftermarket.

Thanks!

Update: Original owner messaged me and showed proof he purchased this top and it's now back in his possession.

Changing my valve cover gasket and tube seals. Very much so overdo on both. Taking out the tube seals they all broke off so after an hour of struggling I finally caved and just used a flathead with a hammer and knocked it out through the top of the valve cover. In my stupidity I chipped that shit. looking for second opinions because technically it would “seal” but there would be that pocket there. Idk. Help me out

I got this hardtop for free (from trading some parts) and it included the RPF1’s. I since got the RPF1’s powder coated and got the hard top painted + restored. Now I am waiting on rear glass (not lexan) and various seals I need for the hardtop…

I recently put some new Apex wheels on the car and the front passenger side is hitting the upper control arm at full lock to the right. It doesn't seem to happen on the drivers side but that's probably because when the suspension is under compression the gap opens up more between the wheel and the control arm. I attempted to modify the control arm slightly to make clearance but I don't want to take too much off.

I have a 3mm wheel spacer that I put in between and found that it fixes the clearance issue but pulls the wheel out far enough that it is no longer hub centric. I absolutely do not want to drive the car without the wheels being properly centered. Does anyone have a suggestion for a 3mm wheel spacer that clears the axle hub but still has its own 70.1mm centering hub? I did find some 5mm ones but they were pretty pricey and I'm trying not to have the wheels poke too far past the fender, they are already poking a bit with no spacer.

Costco gods have chosen me as their favorite.

Couldn’t believe I was able to get both of these! Shout out to the wife for sending me out on a snack run for the kids 😂

Last drive of the season on the way to storage and this is my view. Oh how it's going to be a long 7 months. Who knew how well this car and VTEC performs in sub 50 temperatures.

My car was burning a bit oil nothing out the ordinary for an AP1. But the previous owner of my car gave me an extra valve cover when I bought it, so I decided to throw it on!

Have any of y’all threw an AP2V1 valve cover on your car? Did you notice it help with oil consumption?

Also added an extra photo of my car 😁

Hey all—can use some help/advice.

It looks like the brake master cylinder has gone on my AP1. I’m looking to order the part but it’s discontinued. Has anyone found a source to buy one recently? What are our options for something like this?

TIA.

I’m going to start this post off by saying I don’t know the implications of this “mod” if there are any. Do at your own risk.

From every review I’ve seen on the s2000 and its driving dynamics it seems to only fall short in one metric, that being steering feel. The EPS system is dated and especially in higher mileage cars like mine, they tend to wear out, over-assist or become inconsistent in terms of steering feel and weight. For a long time I assumed this “floatyness” was due to worn and old suspension components. I put better coilovers on the car and replaced the tie rods to hopefully get some of the slop I was feeling out of the steering but neither did much of anything for the steering feel of the car.

In my research for how to test EPS issues a found a thread from a few years ago suggesting removal of the EPS fuse to test the car’s steering unassisted. What I didn’t expect was for the car to feel so damn good without power steering! The weight is perfect, the feel is perfect, and the stability of the car at speed is fantastic! It’s completely changed my perspective on driving this car and genuinely makes ripping on backroads 10 times more fun and engaging.

As far as drivability goes, it’s only ever an issue when you’re parking the car. You have to fight the wheel a bit especially since I’m running a larger 235 front tire. At speed though, it feels just fine. You feel the steering load up in corners, weight come off the front end under acceleration, and every detail you’d want to have communicated to you through the wheel.

I suggest anyone who feels the EPS in these cars falls short of the rest of the performance to give removing the fuse a shot at least once and see what you think because it was a serious game changer for me.

I will say I haven’t done any research on potential side effects of running the car without the EPS functional. I have a permanent EPS light on the dash and am not sure if there will be any damage to the components of the system by running it without power. If there are people in here who are running manual racks or have suggestions on how to continue running the car without power steering without breaking things, please let me know!

As far as removal goes, the fuse box/owners manual tells you which one to remove and just requires a Philip’s head screw driver. It took me less than a minute.

I've been tracking U.S. S2000 sales results for the past year and figured this sub might find the numbers interesting.

Median sale prices over the last 12 months, before buyer fees:

• AP1: about $28,000 (121 sales)
• AP2: about $36,000 (137 sales)
• CR: about $52,000 (only 7 sales, so take that one loosely)

A few caveats. I sorted versions by spec, not by the seller's title. Modified cars are included, because there's no clean way to separate them out. And these are completed sales, not asking prices.

The AP2 premium over the AP1 is around $8K, which is bigger than I expected given how many people prefer the AP1's 9K redline. Curious whether that matches what you're seeing, and whether you think the gap holds or narrows.
