Honda S2000

Yep. It was a blast. Made me realize previous owner was a total moron. Interior clips that you push in the center to remove are clearly destroyed by trying to pry out with a screw driver. Missing bolts and screws and clips everywhere. I need to buy a ton of these from Honda when I put this interior back together.

[Rupert]

I think all previous owners are morons.

I think all previous owners are morons.

The shops/dealerships that work on their cars, too.  shit, if I trusted the "reputable" shop I brought my car too, I'd still have a 4x4 Miata

[Raza]

true dat.  I can do most car work myself.  I'm just painfully slow at it and hate it.  I enjoy the end result, but not the work itself.

I figure I pay for the soft top installation.  Experience and skill doing that is a big benefit that I don't have.  I'll install the stereo myself.  That's cake by comparison.

It's so much better to pay people to that kind of tedious shit.  I get the satisfaction of doing the job yourself, but at some point, it's just not worth it. 

[MrH]

They're done already. That was fast. I was missing all the components and elastic straps it was supposed to come with. They just threw them in. And they're willing to take $400 if I pay cash. 

Owner looked like a dirty Willy Nelson. But hey, if they do good work, whatever.

[MrH]

Wow. They did awesome work. Best $400 I've ever spent.

[Cookie Monster]

Nice!

That top looks nice. Will you have a wait/stretch period of keeping the top up?  If you've raised and lowered it, has it seemed like the motors were straining?

I ask because I just got a new cloth too and man that thing was hard to get latched. I must've looked like a cartoon trying to get it to close in the first few weeks.

[MrH]

Yeah it's tight like a drum. Sounds like a drum if you tap it. It lowers and raises just fine though. The latches are just a half inch off from the windshield frame though, and you gotta pull them forward to latch. It's not too bad. Putting it up and down a few times has already stretched it a little.

Now I need to finish ordering the audio equipment, install it all, order all the missing clips and hardware, install all the interior pieces back in, and then it's drivable

Pfft, you don't need audio shit or missing clips to drive the car.

Just saw you posted it up on CL, same pictures as this thread, new top listed in the ad.

How much will you take for it?

put mr infront of it

[CaminoRacer]

And then start selling H-shaped ecstasy from your car.

[BimmerM3]

So who else is gonna jump on board before S2000 prices really get insane? Otherwise it's just gonna be me and Mike hanging out when we have our Official CarSpin S2000 meetups.

[Laconian]

Meh, next up for me is a ND.

[BimmerM3]

To be honest, I'm a bit jealous of Mike. As much as I mine, there's something just slightly amazing about the AP1's 9k redline. Plus Mike's looks better cared for - it's hard to see on the pictures I've posted here, but the bottom part of my front bumper is scratched up pretty good. Previous owner sucked at parking I guess.

[Rupert]

I've been thinking about it, but I can't afford it until I either get a big raise or pay off the XTerra.

I want to jump on a 996 personally. Problem is I have nowhere to keep it, no time to drive it besides commuting, and it prob won't jive with infants.

I have a key fob, an owners manual, a shift knob and a tonneau cover- good enough?

No, I didn't think so either...

What's the thread pitch for the shift knob, and is it the metal one?

[Soup DeVille]

It's 10mm- so 1.5 maybe?  Yeah it's the aluminum one.

[68_427]

Damn I'd need an adapter
