Got rid of my Celica and bought a Honda!

[Karim]

Well I've been planning on get one for a while just had to wait for it to get here. Sat at 9am I got the call and went down and traded my celica in for a brand new 2003 Spa Yellow S2000. 2 Yellows came on the truck and both sold, one was to me. Here's some cruddy pics but enjoy anyways!

Yeah I post on LVDR under the name of Darkwing, are you on there? What's your handle? Also what color is your EP? My buddy Korre has a yellow and another friend Steve has a blue. Neither of them can make it ot the track this week but Korre has run once and put down 16.3 (it was his first time at the track) but I go to just about every midnight mayhem and TNT and such and thats' the fastest I've seen an EP run at LVMS. If you can come ot the autocross this weekend. Steve and Korre shoudl be there running their EP's and if you see me at the track come say what's up.

Karim, I haven't registered on LVDR yet, I just like trolling the site. I know most of the guys on there and have probably met you once before. I usually kick it with the guys from MP. But yeah, have'nt seen any fast EP's at the track yet, mostly 16's-18's and i have a white one, but havent taken it to the track. But your autocross offer sounds cool, I might have to check it out.

Dude!
What a go! You got a RWD S2000! I attended the Mazda Rev it up. Man... Most impressive car over there to me is Miata! Yeah... The car is light and nimble, darn tail happy! I have driven S2000 couple of times but the salesman would not let me push it to limit. But I assume S2000 will do the samething as Miata... Yeah... S2000 will be my next ride! Congratulations!

[StrangeShadow]

it's rwd?

[Karim]

Lordkoo, the miata is an awesome car to say the least. It's amazing fun to drive! If you want to find another lightweight RWD roadster that's insanely fun to drive go check out the MR-S Sypder. The mid engine layout makes the car tons of fun. It rotates very well.

The S2000 isn't as light as the miata (I wish it was, could you imagine 240hp out of a RWD roadster that light, it just screams fun) The tail on the S can be very happy or it can be fully planted. It's all about how you drive this car and beware when this car loses it's rear it's hard to catch than the miata. Lifting off the throttle mid turn while at the limit is a definate no in this car. It will come around!!! Once the stock S02's lose traction they are very hard to catch again, but I must say they are some of the stickiest street tires I have ever driven on. Honda made the right choice when they had bridgestone make these for the car. Hitting vtec mid turn can lead to a lot of fun hehe. It's an awesome car to drive!! If you get a chance to get one don't pass it up :D

strangeshadow, yes it's RWD. I can tell you I wouldn't be paying over 30 grand for a FWD car.

side note, got to finally use vtec today and I must say it's insane!!!! It's one of the hardest kicks I've ever felt out of a Honda, Under 6 grand the exhaust note is a nice growl, above it's a banshee's scream. It's loud and it's nasty and the car pulls very nicely.
