New Owner Observation / Stories

[UFO CTR]

I wanted to have wheels ready by the time my lil piglet arrives. I can't find anything that I love other than SW388.

What wheels are you going to go with UFO?

Thinking 2-piece BC Forged from kamispeed

Got it. What kind of spacer did you use. I might use that and drop onto HR springs.

Did you have an Si before? If so, are you glad you upgraded to Type R? Thanks.

I did purchase the 22 S.I. in February of 22. The type r Is an upgrade in every way and I have no regrets other then three things. No sunroof, 3rd row back seat, or passsnger charging ports for any passengers in the back.

Trade it in for an ITS. You would not want the first one on this car. (A couple hundred extra pounds inreaseing the height of center of gravity). How many times do you pack 5 in your car? If many, maybe another ride instead? The third you just run a cord. It amazes me how people gripe about things that don’t really don’t apply or matter to the core of what this car is intended to be.

Actually, the ITS appears to be sans-sunroof based on its media appearance and soft debut at Daytona.

Yes, that 315,000 is not low mileage to say the least, but if it was in great shape then someone got a great deal on an automotive icon at $ 9K. And prices on S2000's have been climbing steadily.

Know that whoever bought it, bought it to drive it - not flip it or turn it into a garage display - not with 315,000 miles. So it went from one enthusiast to another, and that is a good thing.

I agree with you on the wheels, I'm going with EVO II Regamasters instead of SW388s though(Spoon tax is a tough pill to swallow). Been eyeing Advan RG-4s as well.

I usually see 11th Gen in sedans rather than hatchback. It was interesting to see how the resin hatch is made when walking through what needs to be address with bodywork.

Stand at the back of the car and look next to the wing stay. Under the right lighting and start looking from the D-Pillar and back towards you on the trunk, you'll see a line/seam near the wing stay.

Half a million kilometer (~310k miles) celebration run lol.
Imagine if our CTRs sounded like this.

Love it! A half-million kilometers and it RIPS! God bless the F20C.

Hoping to pick one up in spring or summer. After the initial sticker shock, I settled down and realized that there’s no other car I’d rather have at this price point (my other options were used P-cars but the ones I *actually* want are a fair bit more expensive). Fingers crossed.

You can just wait I did that for my FK8 and I got it for 47k. The type r is a phenomenal car for around 50k but in the 60s and 70s which a lot of dealers are charging you can get much better cars and that will hold their value. The used value of your car when you’ll want to change it would be between 40-50 so you don’t wanna be underwater

There was someone on s2ki with over 400k miles on their S2000 a few years ago, could possibly be more now.
I admit the driving was a little sloppy though as I was practically driving with one hand lol (phone in left hand, shifting/steering with right hand).

No car is perfect, but to me the Type R is pretty close. I wasn't complaining only answering a question.....

Are you staying at 19 inch?

What color? I feel like we should discuss these things so we don't meet at the Dragon with twins. Which the more we talk... The more likely it seems, lol.
