Hey!!! I just picked up a 2001 Civic Lx with 204k miles. The car is in mint shape considering the mileage. Female driven, one owner Florida car! The Em2 is a 5 speed with cold A/C.

I am no stranger to Em2's. My GF had a Nighthawk black 2001 Ex Coupe for 5 years. Great car, we took drives round trip drives to N.Y. from Florida every year. I always wanted a TW Em2 and I'm so pleased to have one. I also have a S2000 as my garage queen.

I already have started putting together the OEM lip kit. I located one oF the last remaining new OEM TW front lips in the country. I also sourced a new OEM Aero rear lip.

Thanx. I have big plans for it. Mainly cosmetic. Full OEM lip kit, new headlights, 04-05 tail lights, OEM wing, tint, either Neuspeed Race springs or GC sleeves. I'm going to get some 18" gold Rev Model 2/ G- Racing Seki wheels. It's just going to be a cruiser that gets me good MPG's.

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see another TW member on here. Good luck with the mods you have planned for your car. Lets see pics of the S2000!

I only paid $2400 out the door from the dealership. (Tax, reg, title) So I immediately started ordering parts. The Em2 came bone stock no mods besides those 14" wheels. I'm happy I got an LX instead of an EX in case I want to swap out motors in the future. I am hoping I can get close to 300k miles before the motor/ tranny goes.

Within the first 3 weeks of owning it, I bought from Honda, the OEM floor mats in black, the OEM front lip, and the Aero rear lip. I could have got the OEM rear lip, but I think the Aero rear lip is more aggressive.

Next on my list is either the OEM side skirts or lowering it with the Neuspeed Race springs or the Ground Control sleeves. I just don't want the rear to sag.

My S2000 is a 2003 with a almost complete Ap2 conversion. Bone stock motor and suspension, with 18" SSR Comps 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. The front wheels weigh 16.3 lbs and the rear 17.0 lbs. Believe it or not, I have had a fetish for Taffeta white Em2's. I actually like it better then my 2008 Taffeta white Civic Si.
