farewell

soswank · 05-05-2010, 02:51 AM

After many years of dedicated service, I sold my Civic yesterday. Bought a 2002 S2000 on ebay. Carfax came clean, but will only know once I see the car. Am going to St. Louis in a few weeks and will drive it back to Vegas. Plan on stopping in Denver CO staying there for a day or two with friends and then journey on. Bought some painters tape for the journey. Any other suggestion/advice on what I should be looking for when I pick up the car or any place recommend on my road trip. or even suggesting what routes are good to "let it rip"?!

below is the car

very nice upgrade man, make sure when you test drive it to listen to any mechanical noises. check the motor if there's oil leaking anywhere. check if the inside of the headlights,taillights gets water inside them (fogging up) make sure the clutch engages smoothly. i recommend visiting s2ki.com for more info for your car

O nice upgrade! I hope to be doing the same in the near future. Where at in vegas are you? I just moved there, kinda looking to see what the local car scene is all about.

Nice upgrade. Post up pics right away! You should stop places where you think a photo shoot could go down!

Well, I made it back to Vegas. Car is a beast. The aftermarket exhaust has too much drone/bass to it. Otherwise everything is in top condition.
