Hello..Nice forum

Im thinking about doing a JCW build and had a few questions. Came in here
and all my questions were answered by just looking thru a few threads. Very
knowledgeable bunch in here. I will have to get rid of my S2000 first, but atleast i know where to come now for answers.

Welcome

S2k, very nice! You won't miss the convertible aspect of switching to a hatchback? Trading wind-in-hair for haul-everything and still have fun is a pragmatic decision.

What kind of questions do you have? Don't forget to search, this forum has been around for quite a while, so chances are the broad strokes have been covered a few times.

Cheers,
Ryan

No, its not an easy decision, but your limited on space and the tech is getting old. Mine is a 04 with 31k miles so i should get a decent price for it.

And by the way im with you on the wheels thing. you would have thought they could have come up with better ones. The rebel green is dark, but it would look good with a white roof.

S2000 is a fun, good car.

R53 JCW with the 210 hp Package tweaked out to 250 hprw is total madness...

...good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Motor on!

I would suggest giving the JCW a test drive and see if the size, handling and performance work for your day to day use.
