    Nice car. I love the way they drive, I almost bought one but I liked the turbo and practicality of the wrx more so I bought it instead. Plus I haven't had an awd car yet so I wanted to try it out.

    What year is it? Didn't they make the ecu more aggressive or something in 02/03's?

    Very nice! Are you planning on turning this into an auto-x car, or just something for fun?

    The car belonged to the current national A stock champ. It came with DA custom valved penske shocks and three sets of wheels/tires plus a tire trailer. I won't say how much faster Jason is then me because it's embarrassing ;). The car is all ready to go, shocks settings are tuned and the setup is complete. Everything on the car has been replaced (diff, bearings etc).

    It is an '01, which is the almost the same as the '00. For '02, they added a glass window in the soft top, made the rear suspension a little softer, and modified the fueling in the ECU a little bit, netting a couple of HP at the very top. The '00-'01 are the lightest years for the car.

    The car has minimal mods, big ass 32mm solid front swaybar, penske double adjustable shocks and a mugen dual titanium exhaust.

    We will be getting rid of the STi shortly. Since I have a company car for DDing I have no need for my STi anymore and then I wouldn't have car payments anymore (= more money for tires). My STi and I have good memories but I think it's time to say good bye.

    This isn't another attempt by Brian to build a Caterham, is it? If the S2000 had a key controlled passenger airbag, I too would own one!:bigthumb:

    You can get a dealer installed airbag disable for olders ones, and the newer ones have it.

    The problem is its a sensor, not a switch that disables the airbag. I just didn't trust it enough to have my daughter in the passenger seat and not know 100% that the bag was disabled...

    That's an easy fix....pull the thing out! I will never have an airbag on my car again....at least on the drivers side anyways. The one in my Honda almost killed me when it threw my head backwards.

    Yep, I actually can't drive WITHOUT a seatbelt, I would go flying all over the car when I corner.

    Consider yourself lucky that you can fit in it. I wanted one but my knee hit the underside of steering column during clutch release. Damn those things are tight for anyone over 6 ft tall. And I'm a honda fan too. I still have a '92 GSR. V-tech for life.
