"you went from a BMW to a what!!... Saxon's S2000 build thread"

Builds
1

well ive been a diehard Honda guy for the past ten years (as most of you have seen) and the past three years i went away from them towards “better” cars… after having nothing but reliability problems with my latest bmw i decided to ditch it and pick up an s2000 :slight_smile:

06 New Formula Red

so far the only mods are k-sport coilovers that were on the car and it looks like the fenders were “rolled”

plans are to clean the body up, a nice set of wheels and just enjoy it with the top down this summer

thanks everyone, just having a honda/acura/toyota line up i am so stress free compared to the bmw, last friday i was cruising on the highway and got a combination of fuel related codes which was the last straw, searched everywhere within 200 miles and picked this up saturday from Jersey

It’s quite possible.

So happy someone else has realized this. Almost want to start a support group.

11

I can support this!

A s2000 is one of the few Hondas I would buy, and the only roadster I would ever buy. But i would put a hard top on it immoderately

12

Quattro Krant is going to love this, I cant wait to hear the praise and bmw hate he will spew in this one…

BTW what kinda issue were you having with the 335?

13

misfire over 6000 rpm, that i tried everything to fix!
fueling issue last friday and with my aftermarket warranty they would only pay the first $60 in diagnostics so i was sick of thousands in diagnostic fees without an answer

i will say the car was the perfect daily driver in theory, and i will miss the power, ride quality and the features… just not the problems, lack of lsd and horribly expensive parts

14

should have bought an M roadster. :confused:

15

Yup I would definitely put a hardtop on it immoderately. yup.

Car looks clean! Few things in life are better than driving a convertible. In for topless drives this summer.

16

LIKE.

And there’s another topless activity I could think of that’s better than driving a convertible.

Swimming!

17

Yup, typing and driving fail yup. Haha

18

Showering with my swim trunks on!

Im sending my parts to be powder coated tomorrow, better act fast if you want that intake brian :slight_smile:

the mods i enjoyed the most and wish i didn’t go past that point are:

intake
upgrading the speakers and headunit because they’re a pile of shit
coilovers
good tires
test pipe + stock exhaust

20

found out it has a k&n filter on it, so im just going to do the airbox mod and call it a day

was thinking about a test pipe as i want to keep it quiet but maybe a tad louder… what are your thoughts
