Backstory: AEM Cold air intake and K&N air filter improve breathing and low end torque, carbon fiber panels reduce excess weight for performance increase.

The reason for selling: Have 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.

Honda will build 2014 Accord Hybrid in Ohio

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

Honda has announced that it will invest $23 million in its Marysville, Ohio facility to support production of the upcoming 2014 Accord Hybrid sedan. According to the manufacturer, this means approximately 50 new jobs will be created, and the whole investment will result in a 95,000-square-foot expansion of the Marysville plant.
The Accord Hybrid joins the decidedly homely Accord PHEV (pictured) this fall, using a 2.0-liter i-VTEC Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine mated to a 124-kilowatt electric motor. Honda has yet to release official power or fuel economy figures for the non-plug-in hybrid version of the Accord.
Honda currently operates four manufacturing facilities in Ohio, with the combined capacity to build up to 700,000 cars and light trucks each year. The Japanese automaker also has a facility in Greensburg, Indiana, where the Civic Hybrid and Acura ILX Hybrid are built.

Honda MC-? prototype

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Honda is less an automaker, it has been said, and more of a motor company that builds vehicles into which to put its engines. That sort of perspective goes a long way towards explaining the mind-boggling diversity of the company's product lineup. The Japanese industrial giant makes lawnmowers, marine engines, robots... even jet aircraft. It's also one of only a handful of companies that makes both cars and motorbikes. We recently had the chance to sample something that falls in between.
It's called MC-β - shorthand for Micro Commuter Beta, which already tells you it's Honda's second stab at the formula. The first Micro Commuter prototype was announced a year prior and, though marginally larger, struck us as a more complete product than its successor. But it'll likely still be a while before the formula is perfected and put into production, and even then it isn't likely to find its way any time soon to Honda's American showrooms - whether those showrooms are selling cars, bikes or ride-on mowers.
Driving Notes

Honda S660 Kei car makes you want to jump in and drive

Tue, Mar 31 2015

We want the Honda S660. In fact, after seeing the freshly debuted production model, it's fair to say the kei roadster has already leapt to the very tip-top of our forbidden fruit list. Considering our newfound love for the tiny two-seater, you, dear reader, are going to have to put up with a lot of S660 content in the coming weeks. First up, we have what's called nori-setsu, or "riding instructions." Honda recruited a pair of gymnasts, who use their talents to slide, creatively, into a mockup of the S660. While the acrobats make it look easy, we imagine the amount of space in the S660 makes slotting into the driver's seat off a pommel horse is somewhat dangerous, hence the padding and mocked-up roadster. Fortunately, when an actual S660 is brought out to play, the gymnast finds a more conventional means of getting behind the wheel. Check out the video.
