You will never find an S2000 in this kind of shape for this kind of money. I was a serious biker and had eleven motorcycles in the past five years (!). In October 2013 I was hit and injured, bike totalled. I saw the writing on the wall and got this car as a present for myself for giving up riding, which had been such a major part of my life. I did a fair amount of research on a bunch of cars, including such diverse ones as the S2000, Mini Cooper, Miata, Corvettes, I can barely remember. With as contentious as posts and replies on web sites usually are, 100% of all the people who had the cars I was interested in said the Honda was the best and told why. I have never seen unanimity of response before or since.
I found a car nearby owned by a terrific fellow who had car businesses that built cars from scratch, built racers, fabricated carbon fiber parts, all kinds of great things. He was a lot of fun and was very honest and direct. I had never been in an S2000 before but off we went and made a deal. Among my reasons were that I wanted to buy from him, and, with his great knowledge, experience and judgment, he had been through the car inside out and had already done anything of any importance so that I had no concerns. If you were I you woulda bought it too. My seller got it from his friends who own a tow company. The owner of the car reportedly was a doctor at the local university. It was towed from somewhere and for whatever strange reason, something may have happened to him, but the owner never reclaimed it. Can you imagine, but they told us this happens all the time. Apparently there are plenty of folks out there with plenty of money and cars and they just let a car go if it seems more convenient to them to do so. There is a procedure in PA which takes time and considerable money but the tow company got a new title and assumed ownership. They fixed up whatever they saw was needed and then sold it to their friend, from whom I got it shortly thereafter, as he was looking to relocate a business and owned so many cars, including another S2000 he was taking apart and rebuilding. Hence, the clear PA title I have says "Formerly Abandoned." Curious but true. So off I went but what developed was that some of my bike injuries were more serious than we knew, including a fractured vertebra, and driving and enjoying this car just weren't gonna happen. I went only a couple hundred of miles total and put it into storage. I thought if my injuries improved enough I would keep the car, still think so, but oh well. If I get better I would get another one, which would certainly be much more expensive and perhaps not so trustworthy. If it doesn't sell, it'll just live here in the garage.. When I took the car to get washed, the fabric on the very back of the top, under the clear back window, ripped a little. The window itself is foggy, as they usually get after a while. If I were keeping the car, I would replace it with a plastic or glass window. For the moment, I just put a piece of tape on it. Since I'm selling it, you get to choose your window. I took $500 off the price to compensate you for the inconvenience. The car came with only one key, the kind with a chip that the car needs to recognize to start. I bought some spare non-OEM keys but they have to be cut and programmed, I also have an owner's manual. They are yours. I have a listing somewhere else and I have had a query from someone for whom this would be a first car. I told him this would be a very poor choice as it is a high performance street legal sports car and either wasted or dangerous unless you have some experience. I have bought many cars with 150,000 miles or more and have no regrets. Use Mobil One or equivalent on this one. It's really sad and annoying to sell this car that I got so into buying and really only drove a couple of hours. Oh well.. I am attaching copy from another listing... "Just got car, gone a couple hundred miles, but injuries from recent motorcycle accident get in the way. If they get better, I'm happy to keep her. Clean title, very good condition, body in great shape, paint looks new, it's the original Honda paint job. A crack on the corner of the rear bumper and three small scratches on the body. Interior is in incredible shape for the age and mileage on the car. Normal wear on the driver seat. Top original, well maintained. No leaks or tears except for one crack in rubber seal below rear window which needs repair. Car serviced on 9/11/13 and inspected. Entire car was looked over for anything that would possibly break at later date and everything was solid. Recent parts and services to make sure it was in excellent condition for you: Clutch master cylinder, battery, exhaust, coil pack all replaced W/ OEM Honda parts. Oil change and top off all fluids. 4 new Yokohama tires. Car has all original Honda Genuine parts, nothing aftermarket. Upgrades: Elbrus lightweight aluminum wheels Injen Cold Air Intake Alpine Cd Player w/ USB and Aux port for smart phones and Pandora control Bluetooth Hands-free calling Bluetooth Audio - smartphone automatically syncs with radio when car is started and will play music stored on phone. The stereo sounds incredible even with the top down. A good amount of money has just gone into this car to make sure it is in perfect running condition so the new owner doesn't need to worry." Feel free to email me with any questions. I own two ebay accounts that at the moment have 11,597 100% positive current feedbacks, so I consider myself a pretty safe risk. Thank you and have fun. If you ride a motorcycle like I have, remember that there is so much you cannot control one bit. A woman did not see me at all and hit me. I was 21 feet from an intersection where I had stopped for a light in 6 PM weekday traffic. It was clear and dry. I was probably going about 5 mph. There was absolutely no warning nor lead time, nothing I could have done. I am extremely fortunate to be alive and not much more seriously injured. God spared me for some reason. So ride and be safe and oh so cautious for the unforeseeable. |

2015 Civic Type R will make 'at least' 276 hp from 2.0L turbo [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Honda may not actually be showing off the production form of its upcoming Euro-only 2015 Civic Type R at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it did take advantage of the focused media attention to make a pretty cool announcement. In addition to dropping a really hot video of the new Type R testing at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Honda Europe president, Manabu Nishimae, gifted us with some juicy details about the coming hot hatch.
Nishimae confirmed rumors that this Type R would make use of a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, while telling us that the mill would be good for an output of "at least 280 PS." A raw conversion from PS (metric horsepower) to standard horsepower gives us a figure of about 276 hp, or very near the rumored figure of 300 galloping, front-wheeled ponies.
The company will need each ounce of output from its new 2.0-liter engine if it is to meet its stated performance target: making the Civic Type R the fastest front-wheel-drive production car around the 'Ring. Apparently this last session of testing, with World Touring Car Championship driver Gabriele Tarquini at the wheel, has already gotten Honda close to the lap record. Scroll down to read Honda's brief press release about the upcoming Type R, and, more importantly, to listen to the car as it's throttled around the track.
Honda Accord sets the pace as Indy safety car with HPD upgrades
Tue, Apr 28 2015Honda has rolled out a new pace car to lead the pack in the IndyCar Series. But it didn't just slap some graphics and auxiliary lighting on a production model and call it a day. Honda Performance Development (HPD) was tasked with giving the Accord coupe a thorough overhaul to prepare it for the task at hand. To the 3.5-liter V6, HPD bolted a Borg-Warner turbocharger and fitted high-flow fuel injectors and custom intake, exhaust, pistons, connecting rods and intercooler as well as the crankshaft from the Acura RLX to drive output up to 400 horsepower. The transmission was beefed up as well, with a limited slip differential to help get the power down to the track surface. To keep it all in check, HPD fitted new brakes, a stiffened suspension and rolling stock. It's all been topped off with a factory aero kit, special graphics and lighting, with Sparco seats and four-point racing harnesses fitted inside. The latest in a series supplied by Honda since 2006, the Accord safety car made its debut this weekend at the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. Honda Unveils 2015 Accord Safety Car Apr 24, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. - Will pace IndyCar Series races starting Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park - Latest in series of Honda safety cars for Indy car competition - Production 2015 Honda Accord modified by Honda R&D Americas Honda today unveiled the 2015 Honda Accord Safety Car, which will lead the Verizon IndyCar Series field to the green flag for Sunday's Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. The latest in a series of Honda Safety Cars utilized since 2006 for Indy car competition, the 2015 Honda Accord Safety Car is a production model featuring performance enhancements created by Honda R&D Americas, Inc., for its new role. "The 2015 Honda Accord Coupe is an ideal match for IndyCar Safety Car duties," said Jim Lee, manager of Experiential Marketing for American Honda. "Taking its already large and powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine, we asked the team at Honda R&D Americas to enhance and develop a car that is perfectly suited to lead the Verizon IndyCar Series field. I think they accomplished all that we asked, and more." The Honda R&D team started with a production Honda Accord Coupe, then added a mix of engine and chassis modifications to create a fun, fast vehicle fully capable of pacing Indy cars at both road courses and oval tracks across North America.
Honda settles class-action lawsuit over oil-burning V6s
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Although we hadn't heard of this issue before, Automotive News reports that Honda has agreed to settle a massive class-action lawsuit brought against it for engine trouble potentially affecting nearly 1.6 million vehicles. The lawsuit includes Accord (2008-12), Odyssey (2008-13), Pilot (2009-13) and Crosstour (2010-13) models equipped with the 3.5-liter V6 with Variable Cylinder Management, which might experience engine misfire, excessive oil burning and premature spark plug fouling issues.
As part of the settlement, Honda will extend the powertrain warranty on these models for eight years (from time of purchase or lease) with no mileage limitation, and it will also reimburse customers who had to pay out-of-pocket expenses for related repairs such as spark plugs, pistons or, in some cases, apparently, an entirely new engine. (Of course, the repairs had to be related to certain trouble codes.) Lawyers will get no more than $800,000 from Honda and the guy who originally started the case, Vince Eagen, will get $1,000 for his "time and effort."
The final ruling on the matter will take place on March 21, 2014, and if you want to see if you're affected and what options you have in the settlement, check out this .pdf document with all the details.
