Honda S2000 AP2 - 2 Years Ownership Review

This is the fourth video of my ownership video series!
It's been two year since I purchased my 2006 Honda S2000 AP2. It has only done about 20000km when I bought it from the previous owner, and I was very fortunate to be able to find an AP2 S2000 in such a mint condition. Since then I have driven about 7000km, and I have kept everything stock. Join me in this video where I share with you my ownership experiences, and some of the things I like and dislike about my Honda S2000 AP2.

Excellent. One of the most thoughtful S2000 reviews. A tune (2006 onwards) can raise the redline a bit as well as lowering Vtec engagement. An AP1 flywheel is an invisible modification that makes a subtle but very positive improvement. After a few days, you forget how heavy the AP2 flywheel was. It has no downside (vibrations at idle, tendency to stall, etc.).

Great Review! I’m the proud owner of a 2004 Silverstone S-2000. Second owner. Bought it back in July 2012 with 68, 000 miles on it. It just hit 99, 000 yesterday! The car also came with the rare OEM hardtop. Love this car! So much fun to drive!! You rarely see them here in America. We only received 66, 000 of them during the entire 10-year run. Enjoy the ride and drive safely! : )
Oh, one more thing. You can use the hooks for compact umbrellas. One for you. One for the passenger.

Great review! I have owned my blue AP1 now for 12 years and have had no surprises. Just oil changes, oil filter and interior filter (don't forget that one 😊). Have changed once the H1 high beams. Recently I exported the car to Portugal. My tyres are Bridgestone Potenza RE-050. I think they have fantastic grip. My s2000 was lowered about 1 inch when I bought it in 2012 and has the injen cold air intake which sounds quite amazing when in vtec. The rest of the car is original. It is a pre AP2 but still AP1. So 17 inch wheels and glass rear window and all AP1 improvements. I love the car and will never sell it.

The 2 hooks behind the seats are for the OEM storage net. You hook up the net and insert a plate into a pocket at the back the seat. I have one in mine and it’s just handy to throw stuff behind the passenger seat

I’m getting mine out for the spring soon. As soon as it stops raining! Great review man! 🇯🇵🏁

Drove a silverstone AP2 for 7 years. Excellent car. I put an Invidia Q300 catback on it and liked the increased sound.

Mine has a tune which lowered tech to around 4k but it comes on gradually. I also added a high flow cat and Tanabe medallion exhaust. I lowered the car only 20mm with some Hks clovers. I added a backyard special seat rail to drop the seat a little. All of these things were very worthwhile. The car still looks stock and it’s easily reversible.

Prestine looking AP2 man! I wish mine were as perfect! I agree, I wish it rode a little more firmly. Considering going aftermarket for shocks. Im kind of shocked at how softly sprung the 2007 model is.

Great presentation, thorough, with all the bases covered.

I'm picking up a 2005 S2K in Rio pearl yellow. It's all stock and in mint condition. It has 95, 000 kms but given the condition and upkeep I think it should be ok to purchase.
Also, I'm curious to know which exhaust you are considering to install on your S2K. Great video!

I like your presentation and the car
I like this car and love it ❤❤

Thanks for a great video! Since you have experience with the S2000 and the Elise, which is a better car? Buy the Honda, or save a little longer and get the Lotus??

Hi, nice review. I have a 2002 s2000 too. Do you think it kind of feels like a 911 but less power? I test drove a 911 and it kind of feels a bit similar?

[wonbongcho]

nice review, I am a s2k owenr in New Zealand myself, I see that you own a gt3 which is the only car I want apart from a hz73 landcuriser, thank you for the review,

how much do you enjoy the gt3 compared to the s2k?

[VirtualGuth]

A nicely done review. From the close up shots it appears that the seats in your S2000 have cloth center sections. Is this how these cars in New Zealand came equipped directly from Honda or are my eyes fooling me? (Always a possibility sadly.)

[constantinrenoir]

Very great video man! Would you be able to make pure driving videos with your cars or is this planned for the future? It could be so great to watch your driving skills! And a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork would be insane. :D

I've driven my AP1 for 13 years and can't imagine ever selling it. Cheers

[Garyhlin]

Can I S2k swap the engine and trans into my Lotus Elise? 😁
