Right, just picked up my new '99 JDM Honda S2000.
I had viewed a few S2000's, but a JDM, having the extra BHP and torque over a UKDM was my first choice.
I read the normal advert, 'perfect example', (lardy da) and proceeded to arrange a viewing after the epic TRO meet in Norwich.
The car was in very good condition, better than the others I had seen, some as late as '01. Paintwork is very good, the only downside is a worn lumbar support on the drivers seat (standard I suppose). Everything else is good, not perfect, but very good for a 11 year old car.
In the last year it has doen just under 2,000 miles and has been garaged, dont think its had a good good clean for at least a year though.
FSH all checks out and has new tyres (although they are a bit pony) and new brakes and pads in the last year.
Its everything I was looking for and more importantly what I can afford at the moment. This will be a ideal chariot down to Le Mans later this year.
57,000 miles and imported in 2003, im the 3rd owner since import. It came with, from when it was imported..
The revs dont climb as fast as the k20 did, but power seems to be stronger throughout the whole range and before you know it your into three figures before you hit 5th, hard to compare it to the EP3 as its a totally different package. Indicators pi$$ me off though as they are on the other side.
Other than that, tomorrow its having a overhall, big big clean and some better pictures.
The only pics I have are of a quick pit stop on the drive home, but you get the idea. Better ones will follow tomorrow.
