2000 HONDA S2000 WITH 2005 AP2 ENGINE 

I am auctioning an upgraded Honda S2000 that can be driven on the street and or on the track (track wheels and tires included in sale). The S2000 is clean inside and out. The Honda is mechanically sound with many new parts and has been completely serviced (all fluids replaced etc.) It runs and handles much better than a stock S2000 due to a few suspension upgrades. The S2000 exterior and interior was recently reconditioned to make it look almost new. 

This Honda S2000 is ready to go and should provide the new owner with many years of trouble free service. 

To be clear I could say my S2000 has never been raced but if click on the video below you would know that isn't the truth. You can determine from the video how well my S2000 runs and handles. I had just installed the AP2 motor and front adjustable sway bar which corrects the oversteering problem that all S2000's have.

As a brief summary I purchased the S2000 knowing that I wanted make it a duel purpose car, Autocross on the weekends and drive on the street for fun. The S2000 is not my daily driver and to be clear most of the time was spent Autocrossing with very little time on the street.

When I purchased the S2000 it was a little rough around the edges, the motor had 111808 miles on it the clutch had been replaced but other than that it needed a little help. My plan was to clean the S2000 up repair everything that needed repairing and set it up to run in SCCA B Stock Autocross. To the novice that means that it has to be almost stock with a few allowable tweaks. So let me begin by saying that the Honda now has 112019 miles but a totaled 2005 S2000 provided a motor with approximately 30488 miles on it. The new motor was installed at 111932 miles on the odometer so that means the AP2 engine now has 30565 miles. I can provide documentation to the winning bidder on everything that I that I just stated.

In addition to the AP2  motor I installed the following new parts:

2008 Honda S2000 CR Front and Rear Shocks and Springs and rear sway bar
Small Fortune Racing (Bill Gendron) Front Adjustable Sway Bar with with Ball Bearing Mounts
God Speed Racing Front Adjustable Upper Control Arms
Megan Racing Rear Adjustable Upper Control Arms
OEM Honda Clutch Kit (pressure plate, clutch disc, clutch release bearing and pilot bearing)
Megan Racing Motor Mounts (Engine and Transmission)
K&N Filter Charger Cold Air Intake (50 state legal)
Auto Meter Oil temp and Pressure gauges
Auto Meter Tach with Shift Light
Rebuilt Starter
New Brake Rotors with Hawk HP + Pads 
Battery 
Plus lots of other little items to numerous to mention

With regards to tires and wheels (I am including a set of wheels/tires for Autocrossing)  it now has:

WHEELS:: 2004-2005 Honda S2000 17" wheels; The fronts are 17 x 7 and the rears are 17 x 8.5 (I bought these new)
TIRES:  New Sumitomo HTR Z III ; Fronts 215x45x17 and the Rears are 245x40x17
RACING WHEELS: (4) 17 x 9 (purchased new) with Hankook 245x40x17 Ventus C71 Autocross tires 

Maintenance was done at Miles 111808 and 111932 and included:

Replaced Transmission Fluid with Honda ATF 
Replaced Differential Oil with Valvoline 75 - 90 Synthetic 
Replaced Brake Fluid with Prestone Synthetic
Replaced Oil with Mobil 1 5 - 30
Replaced Filter with Stock Honda
Replaced Antifreeze with Honda Blue
Replace Spark Plugs with NKG 7746
Values were adjusted to Honda Spec
Aggressive street wheel alignment

EXTRA STUFF:

Included is a test pipe that can replace the catalytic when autocrossing. The test pipe adds approx 15 more HP by reducing the back pressure caused by the catalytic converter. Catalytic converter is now installed on vehicle.

I still have most of the stock stuff to include upper control arms and sway bars if you want them.


Over all condition:

in my estimate the overall condition of the Honda S2000 I have for sale is very good. The seats have no tears but normal wear, the carpet is in good condition, the paint does not have any blemishes and even close up looks good. The convertible top is in good condition but the plastic rear window is average. The rear window has been replaced but plastic scratches very easy next owner should replace with glass. I have an owners manual, spare tire and factory tools. Everything works to include the AC, the radio is non stock but works well and comes with a jack that will allow you to use your iPod or MP3 Player.

I have had the frame inspected several times (each time I changed the wheel alignment) and there are no signs of an accident. 

TERMS OF SALE:

Terms of Sale are simple: $1000.00 down payment via PayPal within 48 hours of offer acceptance. Balance due within 5 days. I will accept cash or money order drawn on Bank of America. I will validate money order before car is released. I reserve the right to stop the Auction at any time since the car is listed for sale locally.

You are welcome to contact me via email or my cell phone (909 208 1944) if you have any questions.

Honda sets record for lowest fuel consumption in Europe

Thu, Jul 9 2015

If fuel economy over a long distance is of paramount importance, diesel continues to be a fantastic choice of fuel. Honda is the latest company to show that by earning a Guinness World Record for the lowest consumption in a car across the 24 contiguous countries of the European Union. The company's Civic Tourer wagon with a 1.6-liter i-DTEC diesel managed the equivalent of 83.5 miles per gallon over 8,387 miles. The 25-day journey was undertaken by Fergal McGrath and Julian Warren – members of Honda's European research and development team. They started from Belgium on June 1 and returned there on June 25 having driven around 7.5 hours each day. Over nearly a month of driving, their wagon only needed its tank filled nine times, and it averaged 932 miles between visits to the diesel pump. The Civic's results are impressive no matter how you look at it. The wagon handily beat the model's stated fuel economy of 61.9 mpg. The crew also beat the recent US record of 81.17 mpg over 8,233.5 miles in a Golf TDI for the best non-hybrid mileage across the 48 contiguous states. Guinness required that the Civic be unmodified from the standard car, and the same two drivers had to pilot it the whole way. The economy was certified via several redundant pieces of evidence, including a logbook, GPS, video, and photographs. McGrath and Warren credited their success to good route planning and smooth driving. Honda sets new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for fuel efficiency, averaging 2.82 liters per 100km (100.31mpg) in 13,498km (8,387 mile) drive across 24 EU countries July 7, 2015 - Honda has set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for 'Lowest fuel consumption – all 24 contiguous EU countries (all cars),' recording an average 2.82 liters per 100km (100.31mpg) over 13,498km (8,387 miles), in a 25 day drive across all 24 EU contiguous countries. Behind the wheel of a Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC for the entire journey were two members of Honda's European Research & Development (R&D) team, Fergal McGrath and Julian Warren, who took on the challenge to further demonstrate the impressive real-world fuel economy of the Tourer. The remarkable distance travelled is similar to the team driving to Australia from their home in the UK, stopping just nine times to refuel. The car achieved an incredible average 1500km (932 miles) on each tank of fuel, at a total fuel cost for the whole journey of just 645 Euros* (GBP459).

Recharge Wrap-up: First VW e-Golf in US up for auction, meet Project Ain't Fuelin'

Tue, Oct 14 2014

Volkswagen is auctioning the first e-Golf in the US to raise money for Global Green USA. The auction is live now, and bidding goes until 3:30 pm Eastern on October 29. Global Green USA will use the proceeds to help find solutions to climate change, and the winner will get to enjoy emissions-free driving before the car e-Golf goes on sale in November. If you don't live in or near California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington DC, you might want to sit this one out, as the car will only be available to pick up at dealers in those initial launch states. Go bid now, or learn more in the press release below. Berlin, Germany will use Solaris electric buses for a complete bus line in 2015. The downtown line will run 3.8 miles between Zoologischer Garten Station and Sudkreuz. The transport operator Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) will use four of the Solaris e-buses for the test, each about 39 feet long. The buses use a 200-kilowatt inductive charging system at the ends of the line to recharge in just a few minutes. The government-funded test runs through 2016, but BVG pans to use the electric buses beyond that timeline. Read more at Green Car Congress. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is worried that the Obama administration will use ethanol requirements to influence a Senate race in Iowa. In the midst of a close race against Republican Joni Ernst, Representative Bruce Braley, the Democratic candidate, is urging Obama to reject a cut in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The November election approaches, meanwhile the EPA continues to delay issuing an ethanol requirement for the year, with or without its proposed 16-percent reduction. Rejecting the cut could help get farmers and ethanol producers on the side of Braley. "We are very concerned that the signals we are seeing from the administration is that the political calculations are outweighing sound fuels policy," says API's Bob Greco. Read more at Businessweek. Project Ain't Fuelin' aims to fix up old cars to return them to original fuel economy, and then surpass it. Episode 3 of Valvoline's Under The Hood video series features Daniel Gray of MPGomatic, who is doing just that to a 1999 Honda Civic HX Coupe. He aims to get 50 mpg out of the old Civic by tuning it up, tinkering with the aerodynamics, switching to more efficient tires and other modifications.

2015 Honda Jazz should Fit right in

Wed, Mar 4 2015

When is a Honda Fit not a Honda Fit? When it's a Honda Jazz. In other markets around the world, our pleasant little Fit hatchback uses a jazzier nomenclature, but what you're looking at here isn't simply a rebadged version of the car we know and love. For starters, the Euro-spec Jazz uses a 1.3-liter VTEC engine from Honda's Earth Dreams line, tuned to produce 101 horsepower. (The US-spec Fit, meanwhile, cranks out 130 hp from its larger, 1.5-liter engine.) That powerplant is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable unit, and will be the only engine initially available at launch. From there, it's pretty much the same, save the small running lamps that flank the foglamps. The Jazz should fit nicely within not only the Honda lineup, but the booming subcompact class, with lots of onboard technology, excellent packaging (including the company's Magic Seat rear bench), and – we assume – a relatively affordable price point. Check out Honda's Euro-Fit in our fresh gallery of live shots, above. ALL-NEW HONDA JAZZ REDEFINES B-SEGMENT WITH ADDED SPACE, VERSATILITY, REFINEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY - Third generation Jazz based on Honda's global B-segment platform - New 1.3 litre i-VTEC petrol engine from Earth Dreams Technology series - Extra interior space, made versatile with Magic Seats® system - Bold, fresh exterior and refined cabin - New Honda Connect infotainment system - Advanced Driver Assist Systems enhance safety 24.02.2015 -- Arriving in Europe in summer 2015, the third-generation Jazz features bold yet sophisticated exterior and interior design, with unrivalled interior space and versatility. Occupants will benefit from increased refinement and advanced safety and infotainment technologies, as well as a highly efficient and dynamic driving experience. While the newcomer retains the classic Jazz silhouette, it exhibits distinctive contemporary styling including a powerful new face and strong lines. The use of Honda's cleverly packaged new global B-segment chassis means that the latest Jazz is even bigger on the inside. The company's Magic Seats ® system ensures the interior offers unmatched versatility as well as class-leading space, with a range of configurations for carrying cargo and passengers. High-quality soft-touch materials and thoughtful interior design provide a sophisticated ambience.
