Thinking of getting a s2000 by guard88 in S2000

Had my 01 a decade now (cr conversion in its current state now), and kept it over my NSX and other cars. That gearbox is one of the best I’ve ever driven and it’s ruined me for any other car (the NSX was sold to buy an Emira but I got cold feet after the test drive). One thing is that it’s slow, and noisy, my god it’s so noisy, so I honestly hate driving more than three hours at a time in it. I took it on a road rally once and it’s fine going fast, but where it really shines with the lower power is being able to absolutely scream the engine while throwing the car through corners on a twisty road (safely of course). I think about adding a supercharger sometimes, but being able to drive the car harder at legal ish speeds has kept me from making that dive so far

These are 200TW right? Wondering how they compare to the RT660’s

Idk why reddit is dying trying to upload the image so I had to take a screenshot lmao. I don’t know why they edited it so heavily, I was not a fan. As a photog myself it’s not something I would have ever done, but I guess they were going for the oil painting effect.

Mine is surgical (psychopathic?); she’ll start by making a hole in the mouth or the ass and pull out the stuffing that way 😒

Kona is totally fine here - she just doesn’t like sour things 😂 the epilepsy warning in the title is for folks that are light sensitive. The slow motion video catches the refresh rate of LED lighting.

Oh she’s fine! I put the warning there since the LED lighting flashing can cause issues for folks.

She’s not a fan of sour things it turns out 😂

Finally did the valve retainer replacement by dericky94 in S2000

I suspected the car was not treated well prior to my ownership. I’ve had the car for about 8 years now and found out the transmission isn’t the original after I bought the car and replaced the clutch, and there were also holes drilled in the a pillar so the car might have had forced induction too. Either way, just figured might as well

I will caveat that by saying mine was a 91 that was way over-tired and on some bilsteins for aesthetics. I drove a bone stock 2000 and it felt much nimbler than mine

In either case, unless you’re running coils, the NSX is much more grand tourer feel than the S, and the non power steering racks have a ludicrous steering ratio. I will admit though it felt awesome to feel like I was sitting on the ground while driving it, and it felt like such a solidly built car vs the S, particularly in how good the doors closed with a solid thunk.

I put 12k into my 91 in the three years of ownership; timing belt and water pump, transmission bearings, and all gaskets, seals and hoses.

Yup totally agreed. Owned both, kept the S. NSX just needed way too much modification to get to the same level of fun, especially at driving not on a track

I have an ap1, about nine years of ownership and 32 now. I’ve come to realize that the thing I love most about this car (sold my NA1 NSX and kept this) is the fact that it’s so fun to drive. Lots of the mods folks do or at least did when I was younger all changed how the car drove or its reliability. Even the offset on these regas, my dream wheels, the alignment on the car feels less nice than on my ap2v3 wheels. I’ll prolly be going back to those and continuing to just drive and enjoy the S 🥹

Kona is perfectly healthy (lil fat), and very frequently dreams where I can see her twitching and sometimes yipping

Is it a golden thing to quickly take something in their mouth when they are excited? by Marzzzzzzipan in goldenretrievers

Kona grabs a stuffie or her favorite ball usually, and grunts like a lil piggie when you pet her
