No, think i'm going to keep this one standard for a while. Doesn't look it in pics, but the wheels need refurbing, and there are some small stonechips/scratches needing attending to.

Have treated the hood today, going to clean and 'feed' the leather in a bit. smile

Sounds good........so does the car. Ive had 7 Type R's DC2's/DC5's/Accord R/ But never had an S2000. Would love one sitting on Coilovers and Volks. Parts for the S2K are so expensive though.



Spoon Coupe Hardtop! Looks awesome but at £5000 ouch.

Great fun car, bet your going to enjoy it in this weather.

How does it compare to the Elise then ? Apart from being more comfortable smile

Hmmm well, yes, it's a lot more comfy, having aircon, seats that actually have some cushoning laugh and softer suspension. With the added laziness of an electric roof hehe

Handling wise, only driven it a couple of hundred miles, but the back seems a bit looser, and i've heard they can be dicey in the wet, but then so was the elise.

Steering feel isn't as bad as I was expecting, but it's certainly a lot less informative. Turn in isn't as instant, and the nose can be a little bouncy. But that may be me trying to drive it like an Elise.

Might be taking it to LeMans this year, so having a larger boot and more storage will be handy!

Just like the Elise they do like to have the GEO set up properly. Worth checking.

That story sounds familiar, very in fact.

That air box & resonator is huge! Nice car, not keen on honda cars generally but i have always liked these. Would definatly be on my short list if i was in the market for a sporty soft top.

Sweet! Bet you're well pleased! Nice to have a slightly more comfortable ride after the Elise? I've never owned an Elise but have had a few VX220's.

I think these are one of the best looking sports cars to come out of the land of the rising sun.....needs a V6 or V8 though to make it perfect IMO
