- This Rio Yellow Pearl AP2 S2K has been a real treat so far! I had a small checklist of things I needed to do with it, and it's just about as perfect as it's ever going to be for a 59,000-mile car. Thanks for watching.
Looks beautiful! If you haven't already, treat the gaskets & weatherstripping around the top and windows. Back in the day, Honda recommended Shin-Etsu silicone grease, which is what I used religiously on my S2K (put a dab on your finger and smear it on like lotion). Years later I discovered BMW Gummi-Pflege which also works well and is a little neater (it is a liquid with a sponge applicator on the bottle). Either way, it keeps the gaskets soft and allows the windows and top to seal better and slide smoothly, eliminating squeaks/noises and wear. Looks good too. I use these products on any cars with frameless windows, but it's even more helpful on the S2K because of all the gaskets & weatherstripping on the top.
That's a great reminder, and perfect timing because I just remembered I have Gummi-Pflege thanks to a friend who gave me some a while back!
Love that yellow crayola , looks very nice. Beautiful backdrop too nice work TH
I appreciate it!
My absolute favorite color in these cars. Nice score Tyson!
Mine too! Thanks Andrew!
Nice! Love driving my 2006 Rio Yellow Pearl, it’s mint like yours and only has 48K!
Verrrry nice!
It’s a SHAME Honda doesn’t produce any pure RWD sports cars these days.
I’ll jump ship once I’m over my 3G 6MT TL.
Stick with that TL forever!
Gorgeous! Quick question: Will this be a long-term KEEP FOR YOU?
That is the plan
These look SO COOL in yellow! Lookin' good.
Thanks Brad!
I came close to buying a yellow S2000 before opting for my red one. Reason I walked away who zero trust in used car dealer selling the car. I have to get one of those tonneau covers for my S2K. Did you buy yours from a parts retailer or privately?
The tonneau came with the car in this case
s2k is a collectible now that can fetch good $$$, it is a keeper for sure...
Thanks, I agree
The locations/sites you use to showcase your cars are very picturesque, can you share some of these locations or roads? I visit AZ a few times a year and would love to visit some of these sites.
Thank you, sure, feel free to email me. This video was shot in Paradise Valley, very close to central Phoenix.
Can you list what products you're using to clean your interior?
The main thing is just a damp microfiber rag for dusting. Then Meguiar's Natural Shine for the vinyl, and Griot's Leather Care for the seats.
Man Tyson, that thing is absolutely stunning! For me, that's the best color in this car, looks so good. Matching the Sirius antenna made a huge difference. Take care!
Thanks, the silver antenna was really bugging me, haha. Hope you're doing well!
Will you be installing an OEM Ap2 front lip spoiler?
I thought about it. Also the trunk lid spoiler.
I seen on on a used car lot to bad I can't drive a 5 speed
They are sweet rides for sure!
Sup Tyson, I just subscribed to your channel. I have a 1995 Acura Legend GS model automatic 4 door. It hasn't been started up in over 2 years. Now it won't start. I can hear a click when I turn the ignition on so I guess the fuel pump is working. Other issues I'm having is finding parts. I need a air intake hose and I tried ordering it online only to receive the wrong part. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it😁
Sounds like a starter issue. I think aftermarket parts are still available for that. Make sure you join the Acura Legend Owners & Enthusiasts FB group for a good resource. Lots of parts are discontinued.
@@TysonHugie It's turning over when I try to start it. Its not getting any gas. Maybe because I let it sit so long without starting it. I'll definitely join the Acura club
Nice video, Tyson. Your S2000 has many of the desirable OEM accessories such as the hardtop, headrest speakers and the pouch that is behind the drivers seat. I would check the retention straps on the soft top to ensure they are still elastic as they will breakdown. Once they lose their elasticity, the soft top will still open but not all of the way. I installed the Modifry straps on my car and it was very easy.
Very good to know, thanks for the tip on all that!
@@TysonHugie I was recently able to obtain a binder of Honda literature noting all of the dealer accessories available for the S2000 as well as the dealer pricing information. If you would like a copy please send me your email. The binder the info came in has your exact car on the cover. Thanks! John
What a beautiful roadster 🫡
Thank you!
Thats my dream car right there haha
Thank you!
Give it some Ceramic coating
Good idea!
How tall are you, sir?
5-11
My dream was to live my life as if I lived in a car brochure. You have realized that dream.
Thanks for coming along :)
It’s just beautiful!
Thank you! I lucked out with this one.
Beautiful S2000!
Thank you!
Clever plates!
Haha glad you approve!
When you gonna go widebody LS swap?
Sourcing parts for it now
@@TysonHugie haha! Kidding of course, glad another S2000 is being preserved
YES!
Glad you enjoyed :)
Have known your name since my Acura Legend days 10+ years ago. I've since sold my Legend, but glad I've run back into you on the interwebs. Subbed! You have a great taste in cars :)
Haha yes! And I'm still part of the Legend community... been a while!
Tyson, if I’m not mistaken, I think that vinyl cover with the “S2000” is to put at your trunk and rear quarter panel when installing/removing the hardtop. So you won’t scratch the paint when handling the hardtop (since it’s kinda heavy and it’s not easy doing it solo if you don’t have help).
Ahh you're probably right! Thanks for clarifying!
The S2000 is THE quintessential roadster sports car of our generations. This car is not a cabaret. This car is more theater than the TL Type S! The S2000 needs no introduction and no mods necessary. Its engine sure is a gem!
Totally agree!
Gorgeous!! I have a red 02 with 164K miles and still running like a champ! The yellow is definitely the best and yours is absolutely beautiful. Congrats Tyler.
Right on! Thank you!
Man that sure cleaned up, love the early morning sunrise shots. Totally worth it, it looks amazing!!
Haha, the alarm clock sucked but the scenery delivered :)
Spectacular example of a Rio Yellow S2K with all the goodies. Appears you are really liking the S2K! Kudos!
Yes indeed! Thank you!
Car keeps looking better and better with each video!! Love the scenery in PHX your choice of lighting is A1 nice vid👌
Thank you! By the way, I saw pics of the CL representing at RADwood! Looked awesome!
The S2000 has one of my favorite gauges ! I remember I wanted to put it in my 99 EK Sedan back in the day
That would be an awesome setup
Another great 👍 find Tyson 👏 👌 👍 🙌
Thank you!
So excited for you Tyson! Can’t wait to go on some great drives with you once it cools down!
Sounds like a plan!
Simply beautiful. I want to drive it.
Swing on by!
Such a cool tour of your S2000! Looks absolutely fantastic, and that engine note never gets old. Out of curiosity, how would you compare the engine performance in the S2000 to the unit in your NSX?
Hmm. I don't know how to answer that. They both like to rev. I like the sound of the NSX better.
Tough to beat the NSX
I had both 04 S2K and then OEM AP2 at different times as the plate on my old AP2 in AZ.
Haha nice, I could have used either of those!
@@TysonHugie my 5th gen Prelude is BB6 ISH here in AZ now, (has CR-V, TSX, Accord, S2K and 05-06 RSX-S parts on it.) Back in MN where they require a front plate I had 3VOM U on it.
She’s a beaut! 😍👍🏻🤩
Thanks Brad!
