I also know it as an EK9, and I'm not an owner.
The guy posted an entirely valid and harmless comment and you're being a dick for the sake of it.
As did I. The guy posted an entirely valid and harmless comment and you're being a dick for the sake of it.
Do bore off, it was done with until you brought it up again, being a dick for the sake of it.
I'm amused by the fact that you posted elsewhere that you were too shy to say hello to a PH'er you recognised at a meet, yet you seem entirely happy to post snide comments like the one above.

Irony alert...
Even more so when PH has posted an F1 car's model designation in a topic when most people would refer to it as an old Williams.

As did you what? Post a valid response? No, you didn't, it was spiteful and pathetic, and your subsequent attempts to justify it were equally pathetic.

Wouldn't you agree trawling through my old posts to find something to have a dig at me about is a touch spiteful and pathetic? Get a grip of yourself man, if that's all you have to occupy your time you really need to have a good look at yourself.

Which one? The Mexico?
Yeah. Mine has been sitting for a long time now, i really want to get a bit of a restoration done on it. It's in Armagh, I'm in Scotland so it's not going to be easy to get anything done. Try and PM me there as I haven't a clue how to do it.

Just looking at this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPOSSESSION-PART-EX-200...
What do you think 'Noisy camshaft' would be?
What faults do these cars develop over the years and where would I be able to read a buyers guide?
cant help you on the camshaft but here is one buyers guidehttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPOSSESSION-PART-EX-200...

also a good forum to join. these are very reliable cars and don't think there is anything major to go wrong
good servicing is the most vital for these cars and they will stay very reliable so fsh is good.
some may have a rattle chain type noise on warm start up this 99% of the time is the TCT chain tensioner which gets a very smooth surface over time which causes the chain to rattle and sounds like a bad engine which it is not. its is cheap easy diy fix i done mine yesterday and sounds like a new engine and cost nothing to do. on cold start up you wont hear it warm the car up turn it off and back on again and there you will notice it. its a piece that needs sanding down and ruffed up
i think the late 2002 where much improved on handling due to different set up and made a lot safer, 2004+ had traction control added
check the roofs for rips tears or leaks and that it goes up and down ok. make sure car drives well no funny engine noises and really need to make sure it engages into v tec ok and pulls strongly but is very hard on a test drive as you have to wait till 5800 to get there.
The early ones are getting quite old now, do they suffer from rust, if so where?
The S2000 is a great car but it only felt special when you really go for it. On a hot summer's evening with the road to yourself there probably aren't many cars in the world that compare. I really mean that, but it was only 5% of the time. As a roadster it lacks the torque to work as a cruiser - I lived in London for a while when I had it and it was amazing fun but harsh on the rubbish roads which took away from the enjoyment a little.
My car was an 03 plate and what's interesting is that I recently drove a friends 08 plate which felt completely different. Felt more muscular, had much much better damping and felt more solid overall, and better connected. It was a better package and resolved some of the quibbles i mentioned above.
The DC2 Integra was a much better car for specialness and rawness though. God I loved that car. Never tried the EK9 as they were more expensive than DC2s back then.
