This 2003 two owner S2000 is in fantastic condition and is complimented by great performance. The $6,290(plus installation) Vortech Supercharger increases the horsepower “by 49%” to give you “358” as stated by Vortech on its webpage. The body is a 9.5/10 and the interior is a 9.9/10 as you might expect from mostly a one owner car with only 7,389 miles as shown on the odometer and documented in the clean Carfax. I bought it last September and have put about 500 miles on it. As you can see the underside is as unbelievably clean as the topside. When have you last seen a car’s underside this clean? Obviously it has not been driven in bad weather. The aftermarket exhaust is by MW and there is a MW badge on the trunk. I had a pre-purchase inspection performed by a Honda dealer before I bought it passed with flying colors. Compression in each of three cylinders was 220# and in the fourth was 230#. The wheels are all scratch and curb rash free and are as new and the one pictured is representative of the other ones. Tires are original and the fronts have 7/10” and the rear 4/10”. Due to their age 4 brand new tires, rated better than the competitor tires in a Tire Rack comparative test, are included with the sale as well as a nice car cover. There is an aftermarket amp in the trunk. The top with the heated rear glass window is very nice. There are no tears in the seats or scrapes and the original mats are nice. The 9000 rpm redline takes some getting used to as your natural inclination is to want to shift at about 6500 as most cars require. The sound is fantastic. The V-tech cam lets you know around 7200 RPM that it has arrived. The next year S2000 lowered the rev limit, a shame. Handling is superb. I have had 6 different Porsches on the race track at Mid Ohio including a Boxster S and I can say without qualification that this car handles very well. I have not tracked this car. If you can find the Mid Ohio Track Video showing an instructor in one you will see how well they handle. So good was this year and S200 that Car and Driver picked it in a comparison test over a Borsche Boxster, Z4 BMW, a 270Z and an Audi TT. It shows no paint work and the clean Carfax shows no accident history. The AC blows cold..The stock items removed for the Vortech installation are included with the car. I had the local Honda Dealer change the oil, brake fluid and anti-freeze right after I got it last fall. I have the record of this fluid change as well as the pre-purchase inspection invoice. Check out the completed listings and you will see that one with a few thousand less miles just sold for $23,000 and because it was for the latter series it is not as desirable in my opinion. And more importantly, it is missing the Vortech fun factor costing over $7500, counting installation. I have purchased several Porsches and Audi’s from Ebay or Autotrader without seeing them and this is the best car purchased on line in terms of condition. I will not entertain bids or offers from people with no ebay rating.

Honda is spending $124 million on a new wind tunnel facility in Ohio

Fri, Apr 21 2017

Ford isn't the only company building a multi-million dollar wind tunnel this year. Honda is also getting in on the action. Its new facility will cost less than Ford's at $124 million, and construction begins this summer. It will be built at the Transportation Research Center in Ohio, which is where Honda's NSX proving grounds are located. Honda will install a five-belt rolling road in the tunnel for testing of more pedestrian vehicles, and a wide, high-speed, single belt version for testing of sports cars and race cars. However, it seems the Honda facility will only be capable of testing wind speeds of up to 192 mph, whereas Ford claims a top speed of 200 mph. Cameras and microphones will also be set up inside the testing area at the Honda tunnel to help find wind noise trouble spots. Honda won't necessarily be the only company using the new wind tunnel either. The facility will be available for other groups and companies to use. There are even secure bays those groups can use for their work. Related Video:

Honda 'Hands' ad is a worthy successor to 'Cog'

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

The 2003 Cog commercial from Honda may have been named one of the best car commercials of all time, but an all-new spot called Hands looks to be even more entertaining even if it's digitally enhanced. The two-minute video - which starts and ends with a nod to Cog - highlights just about all facets of Honda's universe of products from passenger cars to racecars, the HondaJet to leaf blowers, motorcycles, ATVs and even Asimo.
Celebrating 65 years of innovation, the advertisement is as informative as it is amusing, and it even injects a little humor, too, like a glass of water being squeezed from the FCX Clarity. We just hope that the 1:10 mark of the video isn't hinting at a CR-V Convertible. We're not sure when Hands will air or if we'll see it on television here in the US, but the video is posted below; as an added bonus, we've also included the video for Cog.
