The reason for sellingHave too many speeding tickets need to sell car for something slower, more plain looking,"dull and slow" not "flashy and fast."  This is from my wife and my attorney. I cannot keep two cars, so my misfortune is your fortune.  I have maintained this car to run forever and it has rewarded me with many trouble free miles.  Far better than any other car I have owned. It is your turn to own one of the best examples of an S2000 ever made. 

The truth: High mileage, if that bothers you, look elsewhere, Cosmetics, was going to replace doors and rear bumper with carbon fiber, which you can do or repaint the parts.  Parts of carbon fiber bumper and fenders, need touchup, (wet sand and clear coat), Hood has stone chips, Driver seat is worn, but there are no tears.  Robbins Cloth Top in fair shape, replaced 5 years ago, has been patched, does not leak.  100 percent mechanically perfect, everything works: AC, electrical steering, heating, roof mechanism all fluids, belts, changed regularly.  Interior maintained and in very good shape, engine has timing chain which is permanent (replaced Timing chain Tensioner as part of regular maintenance), water pump is not weeping and does not have to be changed, design of engine does not stress this part unlike many other cars.

THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN TRACKED, IT HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED.  I DON'T WANT TO SELL THE CAR, I HAVE TO SELL THE CAR.  PLEASE NO TRADES, HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED REPLACEMENT.  NEED THE S2000 TO GO. DON'T HAVE  THE SPACE.  CAR IS WORTH PREMIUM BECAUSE IT IS IN BETTER SHAPE MECHANICALLY THAN MANY S2000s ON THE ROAD.  KELLY'S EVALUATION WAS USED AS A GUIDE.  PRICE IS REASONABLE BECAUSE OF THE ROUGH BODY. I HAVE EXTRA SPARES OF CERTAIN PARTS WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED.  OTHER EXTRAS, SEE BELOW.

New Mintex front brake pads, ($75)* compare to Hawk HPS (easier on rotors, same stopping power) ($100)*  Stoptech Z26 ceramic pads, front and rear ($75)* , Stoptech Street Performance pads, frong and rear ($125)*.

Honda and Acura add garage door control to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto

Tue, Oct 3 2023

You’ll soon be able to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in your Honda or Acura to open and close your garage door. ItÂ’s a new feature made possible through a partnership with the Chamberlain GroupÂ’s myQ Connected Garage service. Honda says that all of its 2023 and 2024 model year vehicles will be compatible with this new tech, but it also says that “millions of older Honda and Acura models supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also have compatibility.” ThatÂ’s especially great to hear that the convenience is not just going to be limited to brand-new models. As for how it works, the system is fairly straightforward. You can set a geofence that will automatically prompt you with a system notification when you get within a certain distance of your garage. Follow the onscreen instructions to open, and your garage door will do as you command. The same can be done to close your garage door. For this tech to work, Honda says that youÂ’ll need a compatible garage door opener, but thereÂ’s a good chance you already do because myQ is compatible with most openers on the market today from LiftMaster and other Chamberlain brands. If your opener is already myQ enabled, then you wonÂ’t need to do anything. However, if you have an older style, Honda says you can use a “myQ Smart Garage Control device” to upgrade it into one. Honda is offering everybody one for free if you sign up for its 30-day demo subscription of the service, so donÂ’t worry about having to buy one. However, if you do wish to continue beyond that 30-day free trial, a three-year subscription costs $129, while a five-year subscription will run you $179. The real benefit to this system is that youÂ’ll be able to open and close your garage door from anywhere, not just within the range of where your opener or car-linked button will work. Of course, myQ has a phone app that will do the same, but this allows you to do the task directly through the carÂ’s interface without needing to yank out a phone. Honda says this tech is functional as of today, so go ahead and try it out if you have all the necessary garage door tech in place.

Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.

2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen

Thu, Jan 3 2019

In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.
