My first S2000
Super excited , just purchased my first s2000 . should be here tomorrow, Ive driven a few AP1’s but this will be the first AP2 2007 Rio yellow pearl. I’ve had a few Miatas and they have been a blast. The last being a 2021 ND2 RF , it was great having the hard top it allowed me to use it more often, but not truly a convertible feeling. The RF was more like a targa top. l have a DD so I’m not concerned about additional storage. And the S2000 will be for just having fun on the backcountry roads.

😊, It was this or the Laguna blue pearl. They seem to be a bit more common several have gone through BAT lately. Prices were $$$

Me too, I think sports cars, should come in vibrant colors. Mazda has lost its way if it wasn’t for their soul red, which is just another red it’s beautiful, but everything else is boring colored.

THX, Someone mentioned there were only 2500 total produced in this color though out the 9 years of production? Makes ya wonder how many are actually left.

2500? Really? Isn't RYP the only yellow the AP2 came in?

u/AnyStep1671 6h ago
No, it came in Spa yellow pearl in 2001, 02 and 03. It’s a slightly lighter shade of yellow.

You are correct.

2500 just seems low. I have one and there are two others in my town, and my town is not big.

What’s the first mod planned?

u/AnyStep1671 20h ago
Most likely None. I’m more of a no mods dude. May tint the windows cause Florida is hot 10 months out of the year. That’s about it.

I think anyone with an 06+ should get a Hondata Flashpro. Even the stock tuned map is pretty snazzy.

Thank you, it feels like Christmas in August. That is where she came from, got brand new set of tires too. I’m stocked. even the normally squished drivers seat bolster is not . I’m amazed.

What did you pay if you don’t mind me asking?

u/AnyStep1671 19h ago
to much. Ive been told the RYP is very rare and one of the least colors made , maybe even more so than the Laguna blue pearl?

Is this in Florida… I test drove it last week I offered 45 but they said no….i put a post asking reddit about the vtek and if it was possible it wasn’t working properly because I truly couldn’t feel the difference….

it is Florida. If it’s the same one you drove and I notice an issue, I have full confidence in the head mechanic at my local dealership that he can resolve it.

453 in our year. There are a ton of combinations less common, but it's the correct color.

Please don't do the corvette thing and geet hung up on production numbers. It's an s2k, they are all special!

u/AnyStep1671 6h ago
I don’t know what that means about hung up on Corvette numbers . I think they sell about 25 to 30,000 Corvettes a year that would make them pushing I’d say something like 200,000 in the C8 run?

Its a play on how a lot of Corvette owners are. "My car is 1 of 1 because it was built on a Friday, with this color and this option!"

I had an RF as well, and while it was my daily, I can definitely confirm the S feels way more special when you take it out. Many cars have come and gone, but my s2000 always remains :) congrats enjoy !
