Just because you sold your car, doesn't mean you have to leave.

You'll be back with a better car, it might take a couple years.

I didn't last 6 months back in 06'. I bought a brand new GTI, got an ecu flash, and new springs; but at tax time after I got my return I bought my GTUs and put a reman in. As of current the GTI was sold a couple years ago and I have my 89 GTUs and my original 91 Turbo.

I really like the reliability and the peace of mind that my car wont break on me.

And I'm getting a 2004 S2000 with 54k miles, so its not too bad. (at least its not a civic )

I will post pics, but the car is still at the dealership. We have been waiting for my loan to be approved and for the car to be inspected, have all the fluids changed, replace tires, and detail the car. So I should have it tomorrow morning.

s2000's are cool, but man they are expensive to work on.. Your clutch is probably due to be changed in the next few thousand miles.. they tend to only last minimal amounts of time especially over 50k.

Congrats on the buy though, I had a lot of fun driving my buddy's.

Im not sure if it has been replaced or not and i don't know the signs of a bad clutch other than shitting to a higher gear and flooring it, but it feels tight and responsive.

besides, my mechanic has worked on one before so im not too worried about the labor, just the parts itself.

and thanks

Truth. s2000 drivers aren't really roped into being part of the "honda crowd" anyway...at least in my book.
There just seems to be a predominant separation between FWD and RWD cliques, and not so much whether you drive a nissan/mazda/toyota/fisher-price/whatever. If you have local buddies that are 7 owners, I'm sure they won't shun you. They'll give you some gripe, but only out of envy.

I think the biggest things I'm going to miss about my FC is how I can run my car hard every single day and my engine will give no *****. Also, i miss how my car shoots flames :/
