Awesome ! I think (recalling some posts in the spotted thread) you live around where I do, I'll keep an eye out

[UNR33L]

nice, agree with roof down / another guy = homo

other than that nice buy can I ask how much you got it for? pm if preferred

always liked them but wasn't sure about the power, people that have driven them say they're great

Yeah I remember you spotting me before. It's grey/silver

I'm paying $19,700, which is a good price for a 2001 model and it's in top condition.

As for the power... it's not amazingly fast but it is quick for a 2.0 N/A, it would certainly give me GTS-T a good run for it's money. The thing that I like most about them is the handling and I always thought they were one of the best looking cars in that price range.

nice buy mate i'm sure it'll be heaps of fun through the twisties

what you folks reckon of these rims?

i like ssr professors but saw the 1k each price tag for 20s and felt a bit sick inside

Sexy colour on the S2k's. Hopefully will spot it sideways around bwd hwy from now on

I've only really heard good things about the s2k's - only possible downside is they do need to be rev'd to get places (but hey, half the fun? DAT REVRANGE ). Never driven one myself, or even been in one before though, unfortunately. Regardless, I love the bonnet on those things, looks like it'll be a fun ride

[alr33x]

With the amount of whinging going on you'd think they were tradies

lol

Yeah it's a nice colour, I wanted a black one, in fact I was about to put the deposit on a black one tonight but I decided to look at this one first. Although it was my second choice colour, it was in much better condition, had a new roof, new clutch, good alarm, drove better and the owner was more negotiable on the price.

Maybe I should put an SAU sticker on it to see if I get spotted haha.

Silver and red are the best S2k colors IMO. Black falls short for some reason, don't think it's a very good black...car is too small for it or something.

which concave rims? I do like concave like XT7s but unfortunately don't come in 20s

GTP rims look worst than GS ones, I mainly want the stance / 10" rear

mirin vossens but don't think they have australian dealers:

(Y), usually love black cars, but like Birds said, I do quite like the s2k in silver.

liking the vossens also. did a quick google, found a thread where "a bit hard to find in aus. when i contact vossen in usa, they directed me to a distributor in nz. luckily i found tyrepower in hawthorn who stock vossens (and work, rays, etc). nice guys who are more like car geeks than people running a business".

so where there's a will, there's a way?

[UNR33L]

thanks for that.. i might go down and see them

Yeah I wanted red interior, but I ended up with black. The red wears out much faster but does look nicer. Hopefully some come up on ebay of something and I can change them over.

[Birds]

lol, that's funny cause, when I was looking at one just over a year ago, it was a silver with red interior and the latter was the only thing I wasn't too keen on. Everything about it was absolutely mint...best looking paint in photos and 90,000km on the clock. By the time I got round to deciding yes, it sold on me

[kaitoukid]

thanks for that.. i might go down and see them

don't remember the thread date though, so maybe worth a call before driving all the way down!

and if they've got an nz distributor, shouldn't be too much to vic? not sure.
