Thanks for the support everyone

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/honda/s2000/honda-s2000-2-0i-2dr-alarm/6815471 I'd love an S2000, just proper bugs me how expensive they've became, I'd find it hard to part with this sort of money for one when a few year back the same car could have been had for 7-8k. Fantastic little machine mind.

I can totally see why the general opinion is to walk away completely and it's funny because if I was an outsider giving advice on this I'd probably say the same thing. I think until you have raised a small child as your own and watched them grow into something you helped create it's very hard to understand how hard it is to walk away from that. To be honest I don't think my ex would ever stop me from seeing her son completely, unless I became too emotional and difficult to deal with. Yesterday I was all set on going no contact and walking but today I'm not feeling so strong about it. I think me and the ex need a proper sit down (face to face) grown up chat about the future and what the best way to go about this for everyone involved is. It might help me with some form of closure too....

Cheers for the advice everyone. I was interested in talking with you actually TT as I know you went through a rough patch recently, was curious as to how you were getting on now. I guess it's a certain form of denial you enter when you get dumped, it's hard to believe and accept. It's made harder by mixed signals from the ex (or maybe just me twisting things in my head), I keep thinking she's obviously not 100% done otherwise she wouldn't continue to have me in her life, texting me, seeing her child etc. However she doesn't appear to be struggling with anything and she told me she is happy now without the stress of worrying about us 24/7. I told her last night that this is becoming to much for me, that I feel like I'm making a fool out of myself and that I think I need to walk away. I said the only way for me to move on would be to walk away completely, she didn't seem to like the idea, stating it seems sad to have things end on bad terms like that and that we still need to talk to each other to discuss finances etc ( I took a loan out for her). I agreed to call her back later that day to discuss how we wanted to pan things out from here, I sat and stewed over what to say for hours before getting a text off her saying she was too tired to talk and going to bed I think following the advice of pretty much everyone is the way forward at this point. I guess until I do this she won't really see the reality of her decision and I don't want to find myself in a position where I'm still seeing her occasionally and she finds a new man. Maybe she will come back after a few weeks telling me what a big mistake this all was, I doubt it tho.

Managed to fit an entire gig's worth of music gear in there once, got a picture lying around somewhere it was ridiculous

This is a pretty heavy subject for a car forum but as I've said before I consider many of you friends and I'm finding it hard to get non Biased advice from people who know me in person. Very long story short, some of you know I've had relationship problems off and on for a while now, my now ex ended things again after xmas/new year which was the third time in a 12 month period she's called things off. Her mind was obviously already made up before doing it this time, so she appears to be fine and dandy and happily getting on with her life, unfortunately I'm not doing so well. The last time we split she told her 7 year old son about it and he was very upset, she's obviously worried about telling him again this time and instead has been telling him I've been working away. We agreed to stay in touch as friends and that I would come up a couple of times a week to see her son. I still have feelings for my ex and this arrangement is not working for me, I keep holding onto hope that we will fix things and little by little that hope keeps vanishing, I've been living my life counting down the days until I next see them, thinking of them non stop etc. I am completely torn, I feel like going no contact is the only way to move on with my life but I know that means accepting it really is over and giving up hope, I don't want to give up if there is any chance of fixing things but right now it doesn't look good. I keep thinking of her little boy and how much he cares for me, he's a walking little mini version of me, I have had a huge influence on the person he is growing up into and I know it will break his heart if I disappear. What do people think is for the best here? A clean break, no contact with her or her son? Or try to forget about my feelings for this woman and maintain a friendship for the sake of seeing her son every now and again? My family/friends at this point are basically telling me to run and never look back. I don't think they fully understand what it's like to walk away from a stepchild you have raised as your own for years.... Opinions?

Not saw anyone in the UK with this fitted yet. They do look great mind!

Is it the latest model ST? I took a shot of my mates ST-3 when he got it, bone dry day and this thing was fighting you the moment you pressed the loud pedal and that was stock! Bone dry day, decent tyres, small burnout before the launch, should be in with a shout. It's a final run face lift version of the mk2 on a 2010 plate. Torque steer isn't anywhere near as bad as I'd expected, my old EP3 type R was worse. Saying that I've never tried to launch it yet due to worrying about the driveshafts dying

Its running about 330bhp now @hench. Saw a few on the forum breaking into 13s with similar set ups. Ill probably be the weakest link trying to launch the thing ha!

Never been down one! Planning to take my ST once the weather gets better this year. I'd love to get into the high 13's but front wheel drive will probably make that difficult.

Finger crossed it's nothing to silly. I'd be checking other common places for rust too just to make sure nothing else is lurking, Mine went from showing no signs of rust to being a bit of a mess in the space of about 6 months, it's crazy how quick it took a hold. Both rear arches were rotten inside with signs starting to appear on the outside of the arch, front fenders were both bubbling/needing replaced, also had a few spots showing on the roof and bonnet.

Whats the plan then dude? Rust was the main reason I got rid of my Z in the end

Nice!

Skating, BMW and rock music were all baggy jeans until the skinny jean trend came around... Disagree. Yes skate trend used to be baggy but that's going back some time now. I was wearing tight jeans 10 years ago and rarely saw someone else wearing them unless at the skate park or rock nights etc. Every tom dick and harry wears them now. Edit - As embarrassing as this is to admit I can prove this fact by stating you couldn't even buy blokes jeans in skinny fit's back then, all the BMXers (and me) were wearing girls jeans

Looks nice and clean. Personally I'd want a bit less millage given the cost of the car but that's just me. I'm waiting for the mileage isn't important police to jump on me now

I like skinny jeans Well I used to before it became the trend for nando's boys and geordie shore types. They used to be reserved for people into BMX, skating or rock music, not the case anymore.

Hasn't TT's engine already went pop?

Oh dear!! Not sure how you didn't know about this OP, bit of an expensive lesson to learn

Awesome. Saw this on facebook earlier. Cars looking very well too

Indeed! I very nearly bought a 03 S2000 with 20k on the clock from Honda a few years back, it was immaculate but at £7000 it was over priced compared to others at the time, the Z came up locally and I took that instead as I was always torn between the two. Kicking myself for not snapping up the S2000 , would be worth way more now!

Nice! In terms of outright fun I suspect this is miles ahead of the M3. Dont know what it is about M cars but they just dont do it for me.

Yea the MK3 sounds god awful to be fair. It's got nothing on the mighty 5 Cylinder from previous models. Shame they never made the MK2 RS all wheel drive as that would have been pretty near perfect for my needs.

Yea man thats a fair point, I was forgetting he already has the car! To be fair I'd be over the moon with a boosted Z or an RS, either is going to be a cracking road car.

Yea man I can see your point. I do think for the average Joe a high powered RS is easier to obtain thanks to low priced monthly PCP etc. Buying a new 370Z on PCP then supercharging is going to be an expensive ordeal, likewise buying a used one then supercharging would mean having to pay cash or get a big loan which isn't exactly great either. The reality is not many people are lucky enough to be able to afford cash payments for cars like this. Have you ever drove a tuned ST/RS? I realise I never shut up about them now but since owning the ST I've been fully converted It's insane how much fun you can have in a 300BHP + hot hatch. I'm pretty much set on getting an RS now but I'll have to wait at least a year or the Mrs will kill me

Not sure if these links work as I'm at work at the minute RS running 11's ^
