well some of you may remember me having such cars as





which started out as a turd



then the civic







which again...started out as a bin



Had a bike



which wasn't a bin...but still needing playing with



and more recently an Octy



which was standard and ended up with 280bhp/300lbft





Had several Civics for breaking and a Zafira GSI between times but as you can see i'm one for tinkering. Was getting bored of the Octavia after owning it for nearly 3 years so wanted a change. Did look into a lot of different cars but finally settled for a 2 owner S2000 GT '05. Ticks all the boxes for now. Love the handling of it and the noise reminds me of the old civic. Proper happy with it. Spent yesterday cleaning it up properly, the previous owner was a Grandma so although it had been well looked after it hadn't been loved. Thanks to Mark for helping with all his cleaning goodies!













Full detailing thread here...

Just waiting for my private plate documents to come back from DVLa and the front plate holder will be binned off. Already painted the calipers from rust to Metallic Grey.

Plans are coilovers, bushes, set of wheels and breathing mods.

Longer terms plans are possible charger/turbo but we'll see!

Very nice. Once I can afford the insurance on one of those s2k's I'll certainly be getting one.

Fair enough.

Like the colour aswell, I only see these in silver or black. But I do like that colour. What's it called? Will look at the detailing later.

Looks nice.

Did you buy it cos you wanted a convertible or is that just a by product of the two seater sports car thing?

I loved driving my Z4 but fucking hated it with the roof down

I'm not sure what to make of it as standard - they cost more than my ///M3 to insure though.

One thing I am sure about is it will end up awesome
