Picked her up today from a nice young man near Cambridge. Silverstone Silver AP1 (2001) S2000 with red interior, Private S2K plate and 05' centre console. 92k with FHSH.

Done a little over 100 miles in it today, in glorious sunshine... What a car. Gearbox is fantastic, very sure footed and planted compared to the EP3. RWD will take a little getting used to, especially in the wet. Digital clocks also! Very happy with it so far. alloys could use a refurb (But I'll probably change wheels anyway), and the plastic rear window has a tear and needs replacing... But that's it.

Changes/modifications so far stand at:

- 05' Centre console
- Uprated Alpine iPod compatible headunit
- Uprated Focal component speakers

Planned for the future:

- Silver radio door to match gearknob and surround (£30)
- Roof Mod (Enables use of roof whilst in slow moving traffic)
- Roof replaced with Mohair roof inc. Glass rear window (£707)
- 17" Alloys (Undecided, suggestions definitely open. Nothing garish please. Tasteful)
- MeisterR Coilovers (£500)
- Mugen Exhaust (£500)
- Berks 63mm high flow Cat (£120)
- Cooling plate (£120)
- Mugen or Tegiwa intake (£250 - £500)
- Hardtop (£900)
- AP2 Front Bumper (Debadged, de plated and de wiper jetted) (£300ish inc spraying and plastic welding)
- OEM Front lip (£150)
- OEM Low Level rear spoiler (£200?)

So thats £3777 before wheels and tyres. Only labour costs i will have are the coilovers fitted and fast road geo.

Love it. Dont see sense in spending loads on newer models when i can have something just as good for cheap! Besides, this one certaily dost look for feel like a 90+k car. Its immaculate. I paid 5250 for it. Private.

@ Steve - Oh yeah, forgot to put that in. For sure on my list of things to get, especially for the winter.

@ Newanaive - Looks alright, iv never bee a fan of polished though. Not sure why.

I'm 6ft, 6ft 1 maybe. Not a struggle at all. Obviously it's quite low, so you do kind of drop in and climb out, but it's not a problem. Driving position is good too. Had a bit of a sore back after 100 miles yesterday, but i get an achey back a lot so that may just be me being old before my time.
