Ricko's New Ride!

[Ricko]

Hello Nico,

Just wanted to say good bye for good. I finally bought a real car and traded in the Altima. Going from FWD auto to a RWD 6 speed has been awesome! I don't know how I ever bought my AC haha.

Here she is, 2003 Honda s2000



R.I.P. AC

Grats man. Hope you got a decent price for the A/C. Thanks for the coils btw.

[Ricko]

Thank Funkee! I got 11k for my trade with 60k miles on her. Picked up this 03 with 80k for 13k out the door after a 17k floor price

[mattyfo0z]

Was your A/C paid off? I'm thinking about trading my car in next year sometime, before I hit 60/70K miles so that the car is still worth a decent amount. But I'm kinda clueless on the whole process because this is the first car I've ever had to finance.

[Ranga14]

I assume yours was a 2.5? Prolly coulda got a little more even at that.

[Ricko]

I still owed 9.5k on my AC. I probably could have gotten a little more but I really worked them down from 17 to 13. I was happy with the payment I was getting too. It all worked out in the end and I am finally getting it back haha. 3 days back on a 6 speed and my shifts are getting better and no stalls today =P

[mattyfo0z]

I see. What are your payments with the S2K if you don't mind me asking? And how long did you finance it for? (you can PM me if you want).

I think my biggest gripe with my A/C is the fact that it has the CVT transmission. If I had the six speed I'd be a lot happier, but because of the transmission I really can't wait to get back into a car that I choose the gears.

[Ricko]

I will PM you.

Yeah, the CVT transmission in the Alti was def fail. Great idea and I loved the way it drove, but over heating and is bound to break. No thank you!

Do a swap.

[Ricko]

Still have that FWD problem =P But I almost got a donor car and made that thing AWD haha

[Ranga14]

It's really not that bad with the right suspension and having LSD really helps.

[Ricko]

I had coils and the car did handle. But after taking the 2 into the bends, I do not know how I ever bought an altima.

[AlexM.]

I've been thinking about trading mine in as well. Plan to mod the s2?

[Ricko]

Oh yeah. The s is going to be track ready. Pullin out the AC, Stereo, pass seat, soft top etc. Gunna learn how to driver her stock then go from there

[DJ_B_Easy]

Congrats on the S2, Im not a huge fan but it looks like the opportunity was perfect for you.

Any parts for sale off the AC?

[Ricko]

Sold most of it. I still have the rotors (all 4 corners) Nismo exhaust and CF trunk.

[DJ_B_Easy]

CF trunk w/ or w/out the lip?

[Ricko]

without lip. The lighter functional one =P

[DJ_B_Easy]

Haha, yeah what does that thing weigh? 7 Lbs or something like that? I doubt the lip adds more than half a pound.

[Ricko]

Less than half a pound and extra drag =P

[ShadowAC]

how old are the rotors? if you dont mind me asking

[Ricko]

13k miles on them. Still look great.

[ShadowAC]

do you mind PM ing me what you want for them and how many pads you went through?

[Ricko]

PM sent

[anosoccer999]

hey do you still have the trunk and rotors...i would be interested in both of them

[Ricko]

Yes I do, but Trunk I havent been able to safely ship yet =/

Bluebat Approved!
