Former S2000 Owner gone Civic Si...

[tpc01x]

all too weird....

I used to be the Army, stationed at Camp Humphrey's (Pyeongtaek) for 2 years at an MI unit. And I also had a 04' S2000 in GPW recently that I sold.

So glad I'm done with the Army; best and worst 5 years ever.

Congrats on the baby, wife, and car.

car is clean. Love the s2k

[thatoneflipkid]

Welcome! That's a clean s2k too. Hopefully you enjoy it!

[cr0nic]

that's a nice s2k! Congrats to both you and your wife on your newly born baby and have fun on your rides!

Welcome to both you and the wifey, I'm stoked to see the evolution of the Si and of course, thanks for your service in the Army man!

Good luck with the little one, fam and Si, keep us posted!!

How does the transition feel coming from the ap1 to fa5? I felt like trading in my fg2 for an ap2

[tpc01x]

^Will the ap2 be your dd or main car? Do you have a backup cars?

The ap2 is a fun car, but I feel that its lacking in many areas. As a weekend car its awesome.

For everyday use and functionality, I would never go back to an ap2. When I had my ap2, I would have to modify my grocery shopping, could never go to costco, never pick anyone up from the airport with luggage. It was such a hassle sometimes; after 5+ years I got rid of it. I enjoy my fa5 so much more now.

I guess it all depends the lifestyle you have, and if it can fit your needs.

congratulations on the new ride! and best wishes to you and your fam!


nice vid, you guys are flying! lol

No joke that video just made my day though. Crazy.

If I get it, it would be my dd. And I don't have no backup cars it would be my only car if I get it cause ill sell my fg2. And I barely give rides to people just usually cruising solo or one other person like my mom if she needs to get somewhere.

Welcome, both of you, to 8th!! Congrats for your son and the new ride. Stay safe when you're away!

[bxillest]

Nice s2k, thank you for serving man!

[Lostmytune]

Always loved the red interior on the s2, just sexy.

Congrats on the family and thank you for the services.

[PANGES]

Congrats! I was looking at AP2's before picking up the SI also, but I need a backseat, so that was that.

[beigesi]

That's 9w! Lol I used to drive that road everyday to work such a fun road to drive on I thought I recognized it at first awesome driving man

Funny thing is....he freakin loves the car. When I was pregnant and not feeling well as soon as we would go for a ride I would feel perfectly fine! Its in his blood

How do you feel about the transition from RWD to FWD?

Anyway, welcome, thanks for your service, clean S2000 and congrats on the lil guy!!

Well since I'm in Korea I havent been able to drive her yet, but seing that a Mugen RR will run a fast lap time than a S2000 I think I wont complain too much lol. Thank you

Congrats on the purchase, Justin. I'm thoroughly convinced that these cars are unbreakable with all the shenanigans I put mine through.

This is true haha. Honda just ask for more and more abuse!!

Junk2 products, your money & your car. Forget the brake lines & upgrade the brake fluid & pads instead.

Full red interior in an S is the seks

Its just the fact that I havent really found a good looking wheel. Like my S2000 I just bought AP2V2 stock S2000 wheels. I do like the Volk RE30's, but Im not going to pay $450 a wheel. I like the look of the 18in HFP's. Ive looked at the Wheel and Tire threads, but most of the wheels just ruin the look for me. I like Clean, Moddest and Functional...just like my S2000 was. Also after all the reading (i do a lot of reading on here and research before I choose parts) the reviews for Skunk2's Megapower Full exhaust and CAI are nothing but good. Its all about peoples opinions, but it doesnt change that Im still a nice guy. Lol
