    I know of a lovely yellow one for sale, but the price tag is around 23k i think!

    That ep3 is lovely.....wouldn't mind one of them....fancy a straight swap for a 00 dc2 integra :P

    I looked into these a short whicl ago, i just don't like the look of them but thats down to personal taste I suppose.

    Have you driven one? They're very quick and have a great engine.

    I was looking in the UK as they're a lot cheaper. Also they had a glass rear window in the hood from late '03 on which would make the car easier to live with. GT models come with a hardtop.

    One thing with them is that they are terrible yokes for being crashed (Vtec+rwd+no traction control) and repaired. Uneven tyre wear would indicate a bent chassis.

    I think that darker colours are better, that blue is nice I think but black with red or cream(rare) leather is the best I reakon. You want to mod it however (wouldn't be my thing) so maybe white/yellow/red is more the colour that you're looking for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 127 ✭✭dohc


    Yeah there the colours i am after,i originally didn like the silver but its starting to grow on me no wont be modding it maybe just nice set of wheels.

    Gun metal grey (but matching or darker alloys, not bright ones like this shot)

    Whoa...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭vinruane


    I agree with ya dude, they are absolutely gorgeous cars. Was looking at one myself but I couldn't afford a good one so going to wait till a bit more money comes in!

    They look savage in gun metal grey with the same colour rims, beautiful!:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭niceirishfella


    They look good in white too - the grey is lovely tho'.
    Very basic interior on them - but quite driver centered, the way it should be in a open top sports roadster.

    that yellow one has now been reduced to 20k, seriously mint car.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,863 ✭✭✭Beta Ray Bill


    hey man if your price range is 13k I can suggest something that may help ya.

    I "think" the Honda S2000 was sold a couple of years ealier as a Mugen s2000

    you might be able to pick 1 up thats a bit older (Mugen) cheaper
    I think I have seen one as old as 1998! (dont quote me on that though)

    I know v little about honda cars


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 **Mac**


    Yeah grey is a beautiful colour, moonrock, hence why i got it in grey with the black leather interior... very tasty!!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 Kingers


    I'm looking at possibly advertising my own one in a month or two - 1999 Silverstone with 69k, Full Honda Service History and never crashed. There's a lot more detail to give you on the car but I'll leave it with you to think about - pm me if you are interested in a straight sale.
