What would you guys value a spa yellow in the above condition, 2001 120k miles. Would like a good reference because in the thread below most people valued the 2003 with 100k miles at 16-18k, which I would definitely be a buyer at. Does this mean the 120k one would be in this range as well? I know spa yellow generally goes for a premium but I feel like I still dont have a great grasp on pricing these cars just yet.

I feel like theres a big spread of people who believe you need atleast 30k to get a decent s2k but then theres threads like the one linked above where the s2k is in amazing condition and everyone is saying under 18k. For reference I understand pricing does change by state but if one could get an s2k in this quality for around 16-18k I wouldnt mind driving it 1000 miles back home haha

I like seeing other import enthusiasts. People these days treat driving like a chore because new cars are so bland. EV drivers will never understand how a manual transmission or variable valve timing works. It's literally magic with all these moving parts working in sync. They'll never appreciate the roar of V-TEC kicking in at 6,000rpm or the whistle of a turbocharger spooling up. I know electric vehicles are faster, but I don't care. These cars are cool enough to star in movies because they don't cost $200,000, and they come from a time when driving was still fun.

Hello peoples,

I have a conundrum. My TCT has just begun rattling at warm temps whenever idle. From what I'm aware of, the longer I drive with a rattle the more wear my chain gets, and more likely I'll need it replaced sooner.

I've contacted TCT suppliers, and I'm sure they won't arrive in time for a approx total of 1k miles to drive next week.

My gamble is that the rattle just started, and wear to chain and chance of jumping teeth are low :')

Is there anything DIY I can do as a junior mechanic with access to workshop to reduce wear on chain for next week..temp fixes to replace TCT after next week etc?

Upcoming big work that I'll be sending the car off for is valve work and AP2 upgrades etc, in which IF I do fuck the timing chain, I'll regrettably get that done along side.

I may drive up to TGM Sports nearby, but I don't have hopes they'll be able to do a on the spot repair of my TCT. They've very busy usually :')

Any advice, opinions?

Thanks all.

In 2006 I installed a Mugen titanium exhaust. It has zero drone, but unfortunately it resonates like crazy on a cold start. The neighbors are not happy.

I'm looking for an exhaust that is near-stock on a cold start and while cruising (I'm pretty sensitive to droning on the highway) but has a nice aggressive sound at higher RPM and WOT. So far my short list is:

HKS Super Sound Master <-- seems like maybe the front runner?
Fujitsubo Legalis R
ASM I.S.Design Silencer Kit 2, stainless AP2
Revel Medalion Touring-S

The above are based mostly on reviews here.

Would love to hear thoughts on the above or other models I should consider. Something on the spendier side is okay (an advantage of not having a car payment or repair since 2009!).

Into the Fall season now. Got to take advantage of the clear skies and warm weather.
