Thanks for looking!

Up for sale is my 3rd s2000 (these cars are great)!  Having two cars in Manhattan is not fun or smart so I want her to go to a better home.

I bought it from the original owner -- he was very meticulous about this car for many years. I have a very thick folder with maintenance and parts records. I've put only about 1500 miles on the car since I bought it.  Clear NY title. Has 122k miles on it now and is located in Westchester NY / Manhattan NY.  

In the last 2 months, it has received some love and care from the s2000 communities best mechanic, Billman250 (Google him if you don't know him).

Valve Adjustment
Oil change (Mobil 1, and has been every 3,750 miles)
Differential Fluid
Transmission Fluid
Super Blue Race Brake fluid with brake flush
New Spark Plugs
New belt and pulleys
Clutch pedal adjustment
General once over

Condition:

Exterior: Car has been professionally repainted and overall the paint is very good - thorough job and all jams, trunk, engine bay (although some is flaking there). The car has a genuine Veilside body kit - front bumper, side skirts (molded), rear fender flares (molded), and rear bumper. The fit and molding are very good. There are chips on the front bumper and hood as you can see in the pictures. Front bumper also has some spider web cracking near headlights. I backed into a rock and there is a quarter sized section of paint missing on the side of the rear bumper.  I don't think there are any dents or dings. The car doesn't have rust on the panels, although it does have some surface rust on the underside (some bolts/brackets/springs, merely cosmetic). When I bought the car the driver's side mirror was damaged so I bought another mirror (Red). Both mirrors were then plasti-dipped black, as well as area above the windshield. I just noticed a crack (few inches long) in the windshield in the corner - the bottom driver's side corner. Not sure what this is from, either something fell on it while it was in my driveway or possibly the cold weather change but it wasn't there during my last drive. When I run my nail along it I can't feel the crack either on the inside or outside. I will try to get this replaced before the sale anyhow but either way it should be stable and safe to drive. Forbidden Mugen Vacuum Infused FRP Hardtop - fits great but the trim wasn't installed perfectly - I am including a full new set of trim with the sale of the car.  It has a new glass window soft top, no tears.

Interior: The interior is in excellent condition. The seats are in great condition for their age with no rips, tears, or discoloration. There are the usual leather stress cracks but you probably won't ever see seats with 120k miles that look this good. The rest of the interior is clear with no holes or damage. Trim pieces were painted the same color as exterior and were done very well. See interior/stereo mods below.  Electronics all work.  

Engine/General Mechanical: Very strong - I've had 3 s2000s and test drove a lot of them before I picked up this last one - it has been the strongest of the bunch. Very mechanically sound and has great acceleration. It has been maintained very well. Acceleration is smooth, No CELs, hesitation, or weird engine noises. No visible leaks. Throttle body was replaced at about 60k miles. 

Transmission: Smooth as butter. Better than my 2002 that had 30k miles. No grinds or issues. Clutch is very strong, no signs of slippage. The clutch plate was replaced (per buzzing/ringing TSB, not due to abuse) right at 36k miles, so it has <100k miles.

Suspension/Wheels: Great handling with the buddy club coil-overs. The Buddy Clubs were rebuilt at around the 100k mark, though they were only on the car starting around the 50k mark). Preventative maintenance was done over the years, such as swapping the CV cups on the rear end around 100k miles... no significant wear was noticed, but they were swapped anyway. Alignment is great (UK Alignment), no shaking - very stable. Traklite wheels are light and great for the track. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza's with some life left in them. 

Brakes: Drilled/Slotted rotors with pads 80-90% life. Calipers were rebuilt by previous owner. After going to the track (first track day the car has ever seen) there is some noise from the pads, even though they're 80% I believe the pads probably got pretty hot and caused this (common occurrence after track and should go away after some normal driving). I also have a full set extra set of rotors and pads to include with the car. Brakes are very strong with Super Blue race fluid - just flushed/bled. Stainless steel brake lines.

Honda Clarity Series brings EV, PHEV to hydrogen fuel cell model

Thu, Apr 21 2016

Honda has finally fessed up. Just as we suspected, the company's upcoming hydrogen-powered Clarity Fuel Cell vehicle will not be the only powertrain variant. Honda confirmed today that all-electric and plug-in hybrid versions of the Clarity will be joining the hydrogen car in 2017. The Clarity Fuel Cell will be available in the US in late 2016. The three vehicles are collectively called the Clarity Series. Collectively called the Clarity Series, the three vehicles will share the same platform and target different markets. As we know, the hydrogen model will only be sold in areas where refueling is possible, and that means California and, at some point, the Northeastern US. Honda said the electric version will first be available in the EV-friendly state of California and the company will explore the business case from there. The PHEV will be sold in all 50 states. No range estimate was given for the EV (yet), but the PHEV will have at least 40 miles of all-electric range. Honda will need this kind of powertrain diversification if it hopes to reach its stated goal of having two-thirds of its vehicles be plug-in or hydrogen by 2030. Of course, the next step is different models (a CUV or a truck) that have all three alt-powertrains, but we'll take what we can get for now.

The addition of two new Clarity vehicles, based on the same platform underpinning the new Clarity Fuel Cell, makes Clarity the first vehicle in the industry to offer fuel cell, electric and plug-in hybrid technology on one model platform, offering Honda customers an expanded array of electrified vehicle choices to suit their individual tastes and driving needs.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
