Thanks! With the red interior too, I just couldn’t resist.

Hahaha! Depending on your proportions, you might fit, but yeah, 6’3”ish is probably about the upper limit for either car.

Ghey? Lol! Also, no one is debating here. They both have their pros and cons. My buddy went from a AP2 to an NSX NA2. Indeed the NSX is next level. What’s crazy is how VERY VERY similar they both are to drive, including how they feel and handle. They are definitely big bro and little bro and...

Dude…you do NEED one. One of my best friends had one (before his NSX). His words : “My only regret is selling it.” I really think it’s one of those cars that every enthusiast should own at some point in their car journey while clean examples are still attainable and not ragged out.

Thank you! I definitely would’ve considered an AP2 if I found one in as good of condition as this car (and the price was right). But this one was in front of me and it’s the OG (and single owner and original). Neither AP1s nor AP2s show up in my area for sale often and when they do they sell...

This is AWESOME info! Thank you so much! I’ll post some pics and deets in a bit fellas. I didn’t want to take too much attention away from what this forum is for, but I also knew y’all weren’t gonna just let this slide unnoticed.😅 Here’s a little preview from the day I bought it. @Clark_Kent...

The shifter is similar, for sure. The S2k’s throws are significantly shorter and feel more mechanical (which makes sense, of course). I liked the shifter in the FL5. It was always smooth and effortless for me, but I can also understand why folks switch to Acuity to really dial-in the feel.

Well, I did this a few days ago, but a super clean S2000 AP1 showed up nearby and I traded my FL5 for it + some cash back in my pocket. It was a very hard decision that I had been noodling for months. When this one showed up I just couldn’t let the opportunity slip away. The car was meticulously...

Right! I would rather have a conservative low mark (OEM) versus a seemingly random low mark. Is it dangerously low at that point? No one knows. Even Wunderladen’s explanation was VERY wishy washy. As such I don’t trust it, despite the fact I check my oil regularly and would never let it get that...

Perhaps we’re more on the same page than I understood. Where we seem to diverge is on the topic of the OE stick and its markings. They’re there for a reason. We know that. However, no one here is an engineer for Honda, so speculating on their accuracy and/or possible lack of keeping a tight ship...

Had Wunderladen simply provided explanation AND included the OEM marks in the design (for visual reference to Honda’s standard), I’d LOVE the product! I’d likely have one now! Without the standard markings, Wunderladen’s high and low marks are simply not as helpful as they should be. Defending...

Some of us here don’t like making changes like this to our cars based on “probably” and “maybe.” Some of us are engineers and/or work closely with the manufacturing world and understand what goes into creating standards. It’s A LOT of fucking work! If you believe Honda is just basically winging...

@ABPDE5 I get what you’re saying, but keep in mind that Honda developed the engines and developed the standards for their engines. Even if the dipstick is “generic” it is still designed to fit their standard…not the other way around. Deviating from that standard, which I’m sure Honda spent MUCH...

@optronix Well stated. you know the game better than I ever will. Indeed the luxury goods market, as a whole, is built on scarcity and exclusivity. It has always been this way. I get it. I’m far from rich, but am definitely doing fine. I have it in my mind that the only car that would be the...

No, and I’d never be a country club member because I don’t care. Lol! That really wasn’t my point. My only point is that shopping for a GTS for a reasonable price and right spec sucks. Those shopping GT level don’t deal with this pain.
