My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED) Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff

Picked up the S2000 last night under the black rain signal.
Will post some pics later

Initial impression:
Man! This car really need rev it hard!!!
Drove back to Kowloon side and trying to stretch it legs abit, put my foot right down on floor in 3rd when doing 70km/h.
Nothing happened!

The torque just so linaer even in 5000rmp! Then when the Vtec kicks in at around 6K rmp, the torque starts to increase abit, but still not as fast as what i expected to be.

Overall, the car is great to drive, a truely roadster and the ride is good.
The engine noise is fantastic and the car is very well balanced.
The suspension setup is abit too soft in the initial when you first turn into the corner,
but it holds the ride well after turned in.
The steering feel is nice too and the steering weight is good balanced aswell.

Will post pics later

worries me, why can't cars be a little bit simple, since the last 20 years the engines got more reliable, but the electrics are worse, all those millions invested, all gone to BVI and Swiss banks...
bit like the Premier league.
ha ha they did wonder why the charged gas injection boost thru the manifold was 1.7 bar instead of 1.2
Japanese is still king of electronic.....Western better stick with mechanics.

The car is easy to drive and can be drive everyday
But not so easy if you wanna get the best of it
Cos you need to work the gear and the Rev well together in order to squeeze all the power out

congrats (to ur friend) believe its a close ratio gear box, this means the 1st gear is quite long so 0-60 time wont be something to write home abt but once u get to 2nd gear and above and in the power rev band, its flies ..... and be prepared to get a lot of speeding tickets

ps, how does ur fd like it himself?

1 thing you must do every month is clean and protect the clear plastic on the rear or it will cost you over 10k to change it.

One of the fog light is certified after passing through a 1 ft depth reservoir last night.

I would like to install 3000K(yellow) HID instead. Should AK have such kind of product available?
