For example, 4700 revs in six gear is 85 mph (9000 redline, you do the math).

Mod 8: polished OEM wheels

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.

EXTRAS: Not included with the price BUT subject to later negotiation.  

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 CR-V named Motor Trend SUV of the Year for 2015

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Motor Trend has announced the results of its 2015 SUV of the Year competition, and from a field that included the new Porsche Macan, Cadillac Escalade, Subaru Outback, Chevrolet Suburban and BMW X5, the buff book has awarded the gold calipers to the 2015 Honda CR-V. If that result surprises you just a little, well, get to the back of the line.
MT looked at six different categories ranging from overall design to efficiency - both fuel economy and carbon footprint - to safety and value to pick its winner, singling out the refreshed Honda while paying particular praise to its new 2.4-liter Earth Dreams four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission. A tighter steering ratio was also cited as a big source of improvement.
"There was a lot of contentious debate," MT Technical Director Frank Markus told Autoblog, indicating that nearly half the judges approached the final round of voting with an eye towards the redesigned Jeep Cherokee. "This year's field included some pretty fancy and fast iron, but the thoughtful changes made by Honda to hone its best-seller entry in that crowded compact cross-over segment really did the trick."

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.

Honda Urban SUV Concept leaks out ahead of Detroit debut

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

Next up on the 2013 Detroit Auto Show embargo-break-a-palooza: the Honda Urban SUV Concept. Thanks to Indian Autos Blog, we now have the first press shots of the small crossover concept - a vehicle that will someday make it to production, riding on the Honda Fit platform.
It may have some big features - namely, the large headlamps, big wheels, and bold body lines - but the Urban SUV Concept will compete with smaller vehicles like the Nissan Juke or Fiat 500L. Indian Autos Blog reports that both 1.6- an 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are being speculated for use in the production model, as well as a diesel powerplant for foreign markets.
That's all we know for now, but stay tuned to see the full smattering of official images and details as part of this week's Detroit coverage.
