A tribute to Honda’s motorsport heritage, the S2000 remains one of the most revered roadsters of the modern era, pairing a high-revving engine with a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive chassis. The second-generation AP2 variant brought a range of refinements, including updated front and rear bumpers, carbon-fiber transmission synchronizers, revised suspension geometry, and a larger 2.2-liter F22C1 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. This 2005 example is finished in New Formula Red over black leather and has been extensively upgraded with a PTuning turbo system, Hondata K-Pro engine management, and supporting modifications including enhanced fuel delivery, cooling, and electronics, producing a dyno-tested 606 HP on E85 fuel. Showing under 32k miles on the odometer, this tastefully modified AP2 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Florida.
This example is finished in New Formula Red and equipped with a power-operated black soft top featuring a glass rear window. Exterior details include xenon headlights, a black windshield surround, integrated roll hoops, and dual oval exhaust outlets. It rides on aftermarket 17” CCW LM5T wheels wrapped in Falken Azenis RT615K+ tires with approximately 2,300 miles of use. The seller notes that the front bumper was previously repainted by McLaren in Philadelphia in preparation for their acquisition in 2012. The body is said to retain 9 of 10 factory VIN tags, with the passenger fender tag showing signs of tampering under previous ownership. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features black leather upholstery with matching door panels and carpeting, complemented by brushed aluminum trim and a red push-button start. Modifications include a dual 52mm Autometer A-pillar gauge pod housing a GaugeART CAN gauge and an AEM AFR wideband gauge, along with a Modifry 3” dash-mounted phone bracket. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and locks, and the factory AM/FM/CD audio system. The seller notes typical wear on the driver’s seat bolster.
Power comes from a 2.2-liter F22C1 inline-four equipped with a PTuning turbo kit, generating a dyno-proven 606 HP and 428 lb-ft of torque on E85. The rear wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transmission paired with a Science of Speed twin carbon clutch and a factory limited-slip differential. The forced induction system centers around a Garrett GTX3076R Gen II turbocharger with a Tial 0.82 A/R housing, supported by a Hondata K-Pro ECU, Fuel Injector Clinic 1650cc injectors, a Science of Speed flex fuel kit, Radium Engineering fuel rail, Walbro 450LPH fuel pump, and a Science of Speed in-tank fuel pump wiring kit. Additional upgrades include a Skunk2 4-bar MAP sensor, InlinePRO EGR block-off plate, Mishimoto X-Line 3-row radiator, and an Invidia Q300 exhaust system. The turbo kit and associated components were professionally installed by PTuning of Manassas, Virginia, in August 2021 at a cost exceeding $20,000. The setup was retuned in August 2024 by Baker Built Garage, with approximately 2,250 miles driven since installation.
This sale will include a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “My wife and I have owned this car since 2012 and it holds a lot of great memories from when we were just dating. In 2017, we purchased the turbo kit in hopes of rekindling our excitement for the car before the arrival of our first child. It wasn’t until 2021, during COVID, that we finally had it professionally installed—using only top-quality parts. Now with two kids, we simply don’t find the time to enjoy it like we used to. Rather than let it sit, we’ve decided it’s time to pass it on to someone who will appreciate it as much as we have. We’re moving on to something more family-friendly that fits our lifestyle today.”

@yns79 I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience with PTuning in your one time using them, every shop interaction can definitely vary. For context, before the turbo install, the car was serviced by Billman (a well-known S2000 expert) when I lived in New York. It was also tuned by Jeff Evans, another highly respected name in the S2K community, and later by Baker in Jacksonville. Both Jeff & Baker had nothing but positive things to say about the cleanliness and quality of the install.
As for PTuning turbo kit, while experiences may differ, the performance and reliability of their turbo kit are well-documented and highly regarded as one of the best within the s2k community.
Car has been on any other shop other than PTuning? i am local and PTuning is down the road from me. Their reputation and my one time experience is terrible with them.

@Lumberjock412 At around 2:38 in the underside video, the black areas you’re seeing are just remnants of the factory-applied rubberized undercoating from Honda. I had started removing it but never fully finished the job, so that’s what’s left behind.
For photo 131, I’ve uploaded a new image highlighting the area I think you’re referring to. I’d describe what you’re seeing on the outer rocker sections as scraping—definitely from the car being lowered and driven during my time in New York. You could call it chipping too, depending on how you look at it. I wouldn’t call it major damage, but I also don’t want to downplay it.
As for surface rust, I do see a bit of light brown discoloration in areas, so I wouldn’t say there’s, “no surface rust”—but I certainly wouldn’t describe it as corrosion either.

The room is quiet where's the other bidders?
Looking at around 2:38 on the underside video or 131 in the photos on the outside. Are the outer of the rocker panels looks to be chipped? Any surface rust at all? Or is it just debris
@Lumberjock412 @Lumberjock412 Regarding mileage discrepancy.
Carfax is a useful tool, but like any reporting system, it can occasionally contain errors. That’s an error.
Can point me to a specific timestamp in the video or a photo number, I’d be happy to take a closer look and confirm for you. The car being lowered, it does scrape occasionally on steep driveways or poor approach angles and speed bumps. But I’m more than happy to double-check once you let me know exactly where you’re seeing it.
Couple of questions. What's with the mileage discrepancy on the carfax? Also, underneath the pinch welds in the rocker area, is the paint chipping off there? Or is it just dirt or debris?
@burnrubr There’s no PPF on the car.
@burnrubr The catalytic converter is currently not installed, but I believe I still have it on the shelf.
any PPF?
probably my last question for you Stan, does it have a catalytic converter?
@burnrubr The mileage discrepancy on the Carfax is an reporting error. I still have the original paperwork from McLaren when I purchased the vehicle, as well as copies of both the New York State and Florida titles, which I’d be happy to provide to the buyer for verification.
Additionally, when registering an out-of-state vehicle in Florida, you are required to present the car for a VIN inspection and odometer reading—meaning the mileage was physically verified at the time of registration. For reference, here is the link to my county’s official site outlining this process: https://www.nassautaxes.com/Content/Titles.
It’s also worth noting that Carfax shows the vehicle being sold on 11/24/2012, which is correct, but it doesn’t show my ownership beginning then. It also lists a service on 11/26/2012, which is inaccurate as well.
Carfax is a useful tool, but like any reporting system, it can occasionally contain errors.
Hey Stan, can you explain the mileage discrepancy in the Carfax? On 08/02/2022, it says 47,792 from CT, and on 08/03/2023, it says 30,764 from Florida.
Less than 24 hours to go! Feel free to ask any last minute questions. I’ve done my best to present the car as thoroughly and honestly as possible through the videos and photos, and I hope you’ve enjoyed following the auction.
Owning this S2000 was a childhood dream come true, and it’s been a huge part of my life. While it’s bittersweet to let it go, I believe the future is bright—for both me and for the car with its next owner.
Thank you all for the support, interest, and kind words. Best of luck to all the bidders!
I just uploaded a video to my YouTube from the tuning session, showing data logs of 93 octane and E85. The footage is slowed down so you can clearly see all the readouts:
• On 93 octane, the car made 15.3 PSI
• On ethanol, it reached 24.6 PSI with an ethanol content of 75% (E75)
Bid in the amount of $18,000
@burnrubr the tranny is stock. The clutch is a twin disc by science of speed.
Any upgrade done on the tranny and clutch?

@burnrubr In the video titled “2005 Honda S2000 – 600HP on E85 (Tuner Test Dash Camera) 31k miles”recorded in August 2024.
The tuner, Baker, doing some street pulls to gather data logs. My best guess would at the time of the video, it was likely around E65 or higher.
@burnrubr 900 that must’ve been a riot and a blast to drive. My other project is a Rabbit pickup, so another two-seater. Lately, I’ve been thinking I really want something the whole family can enjoy
What was the ethanol content during your drive-by video?
oh just read the whole story, i'll be watching this one see if I can make your dream happens
Thank you. I had an '01 S2k built to the hilt with an InLine Pro 400 BW and a T56, which made over 900 whp, but it became very unpleasant to drive. Yours seems perfect. Why selling?
@burnrubr There are no spacers on any of the wheels.
And yes, thanks to the flex fuel sensor and Hondata KPro ECU, the car will automatically adjust between pump gas and E85 (or any blend of the two). Just fuel up and go, no need to manually switch maps.
Are there spacers on each wheel? Also, so you can refuel either pump gas or e85 and the tune will automatically adjust?
@fstclyz The car is tuned on a Hondata KPro ECU with a flex fuel sensor, so yes—there’s a tune for both 91/93 pump gas and E85.
While I don’t have a dyno sheet for 93 on this car, in March of 2025 a PTuning build made 460 WHP on 93 at their shop. For this setup, I’d estimate around 420–475 HP on pump gas, depending on air conditions and the dyno used.
What's the hp on 91 or 93 octane and is there a tune for that?
Bid in the amount of $10,250
Dude...what an EPIC car. Great presentation too. Life does change, though.
@Bzammitt Yes, the car retains the factory F22C long block, transmission, and differential. These motors are incredibly stout, which is why they’re so popular for boosted builds. With proper tuning and supporting mods, they handle this level of power reliably.
To give some context on the cost:
Turbo kit: ~$8K, Twin disc clutch: ~$2.5K, Hondata KPro ECU: ~$2.5K.
That’s around $13K in major components, not including the many supporting parts and professional installation, which brings the total closer to the $20K+ range.
This wasn’t a flip—I never planned to sell it after putting this much into it. I truly thought I’d own it forever. Life just had other plans.
Just want to be clear after looking at the photos. You spent roughly $30k to almost triple the factory HP, but the car still retains the factory block, transmission, and differential?
@Cyncarver Yes, the turbo oil return uses the original drain plug location, so oil changes are now done by draining from the T fitting. This kit uses an oil scavenging system to keep everything lubricated and works well just requires a slightly different approach during oil change.
As for rubbing: these are about the largest tire sizes you can run. The wheels were spec’d perfectly for the setup, so rubbing is minimal and only occurs in the rear under full compression large dip in the road, if at all. Up front, I haven’t experienced or noticed any rubbing.
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Looks like a quality clean build! I do have a few questions. From the pictures, it looks like the original oil drain plug location is now taken up by the turbo oil return line. Do you still drain the oil from this location when doing oil changes? Also, do you have any rubbing issues with the wide wheels & tires especially at the rear with the wider/taller tires? Thanks in advance!
Impressive.
@zollerm Thanks for the question! I just added a photo of the dyno graph on E85 to the gallery. Without a dyno sheet for 93, I’d estimate power on pump gas to be in the 420–475 range, depending on air conditions and the dyno used.
PTuning completed another install in March, and that car made 460 on 93.
E85 allows for higher boost and more fuel, which is how we reached over 600 safely. Since re-tuning it I only 93 it’s more manageable.

Horsepower on non E85 fuel? Thanks.
Hey everyone, I’m Stan – my wife and I have owned this S2000 since 2012. It’s been a big part of our story, and I’m happy to answer any questions you have throughout the auction. Appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
