I just bought an AP2 model in March and bought it for tracking. What I've learned and going through it right now is alignment hardware. Almost all bolts are seized to the bushings! So now I'm in process of replacing all the bushings, replacing with mugen bushings. Love the car otherwise! Happy with my purchase 😊
I like that last comment my 08 s2000 is my dream car finally got it 2 years ago I don’t care about the downsides I still love my ap2 and not gonna sale it in this lifetime 😊
I bought one back in 2015 with 40k miles for $14k at the dealer used and now I’m currently at 120k miles. I can’t believe these things are going for $30k 😢 with about the same mileage.
Honestly I see that price only climbing as time goes on. Every year a large numbers of s2000’s gets totaled because they end up in the wrong hands. 🤷🏼♂️ It’s just the way it is. I paid $4k for mine although after everything is said and done it owes me $8k but I’ve declined several offers north of $20k I will never sell it!!
@@VikingsGarage sadly this is the reality of 2024 and so on due to inflation and the corona virus plague. If it weren’t so bad I would 100% buy a 2nd s2k for a show car and possibly project car.
Very good review. I'm in the market of purchasing one. either a 2000 year model with 73,000 Kilometers or a 2006 with 53,000 Kilometers. They are about the same price. In your opinion will they both rise in price and what one would you purchase? Thank you
Excellent point, it is a tiny bit in my line of sight. But for the love I have for it, I don’t let it bother me. I am 6 feet tall, a few more inches and it would not work for me. 😅
The most overhyped car in automotive history. That baby boy knows it more than most of the clowns out there. I will take the Boxster and Z4 all day any day.
😂 Boxster and Z4 ain’t got shit on S2000. I’ve owned a Boxster, driven a Z4 multiple times and neither are as much fun, as well built or as engaging to drive as the S2000 ❤
Lol I'm guessing you have never owned a s2000 if you think it is overhyped. Literally one of the best driver cars ever made. Enjoy your dime a dozen unreliable German headaches, nobody with an s2000 is going to envy you. I've owned my ap1 for years and I won't sell it unless I can't drive it comfortably one day and it's worth a fortune.
Maybe you see the s2000 as being "overhyped" in your little internet w🌎rld, but correlation doesn't equal causation, it's not overhyped it's just hyped and rightly so as the S2000 was notable for its exceptional specific power output of about 124 hp per litre, or about two horsepower per cubic inch, the highest of ANY mass production, naturally aspirated engined car, until 2010.
I'll take one! 😂😂😂 Always wanted one but just could never execute it.
Same here, needless to say… I’ll never sell it 😅

I believe it. Don’t get me wrong I love mine too.
I can tell you love your car with that LHT v-tec solenoid ...noticed the hat too. I hope to have the pleasure of owning one. Very clean Ap1
Thank you!!
Very good eyes, every now and then I like to work on the AP1 also. LHT performance tons of good info. I’m sure you will own one soon 😉
I'm saving up to get one. I'm also doing research. I will reserve this as weekend/track car
💯
Thanks for all the tips!

Very good review man! I love my 2005 Honda S2000 too.
🤘🏻 Ap2’s are freaking awesome

It is a serious car. Was also at another level above the Miatas of the same year to include price.
I’ll never sell mine.
I actually like most of the things you do not. It’s unique! It’s 😎 awesome!!
Don’t get me wrong I might be exaggerating it a bit…. I freaking love this thing. 😉
LOL, great video!
😅

They’ll both go up in value, but for more piece of mind and less worries get the (AP2) 2006. 🤘🏻
I know of an 07 AP2 for 10k orig blk paint but high miles.
That’s an absolute steal!!
I bought one anyway. AP2
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations!!
You know deep inside I freaking love it!!
Best of luck with yours!!
@VikingsGarage thanks! Road tripping it home now. Can't wait to park it next to my 4runner
Looks like your line of site is right at the windshield frame. Does that bother you?

@@VikingsGarage👌🏻
#1 reason……it’s not a Yota!! Plus I’m 6’2” 220 so it’s a bit snug for my liking.
Right on!! 😅
Are you still able to fit or have you driven one? Just curious because I’m looking into one and have a similar build
@@K2tuft oh I’ve never owned an S2k, but my neighbor did and it was too tight for my liking. I think a Miata has more room.
I've had a 2006 for 9 years and will never sell it!
Oh I completely understand.
Neither will I
If you are traveling with this car. Get you a Handsome Trunk Rack. And I mean HANDSOME!
Im not sure I follow Sir.
Great video, I used to be a Honda fanboy back in the 80s and 90s but pretty much now days Honda lost its mojo. I personally would pick a Mazda MX-5.
Thank you for watching!!
I do have to admit some of these mistas are 😁👌🏻
No Miata ever made can touch this bad boy

Nah, I looked at all three… S2k all day. All good though.
