Selling my '01 Silverstone Metallic S2000. It's a great running & driving car and has been ultra reliable, but I've got a few more important things I need and too many vehicles; this one's the least practical so it's got to go. It's relatively stock and most of the "upgrades" were made out of necessity. Rarely driven in anger, babied and pampered for the two years I've owned it. Everything works EXACTLY how it should; A/C blows COLD, engine starts perfect, purrs like a kitten at idle, vtec engages how it should; no warning lights on the cluster.

  • Body: 8.5-9/10 - A few tiny paint blemishes, not much for body/paint damage.
  • Interior: 7/10 - Typical wear on left drivers seat bolster and seat bottom, one wear spot on carpet, wear on floor mats, wear & tear on shifter trim.
  • Soft Top: 7/10 - Good condition for it's age. Light clouding on the plastic rear window, beginning to tear on both sides at the plastic flaps but they're only about 1/4"-1/2" in length right now; should be no issue to patch and keep hidden if caught soon.

  • Oil changed every 3k miles with Castrol GTX 10w30
  • Cooling system flushed 1k miles ago
  • Transmission and rear diff fluids changed 10k miles ago
  • Valves adjusted 5k miles ago
  • Spark Plugs replaced 5k miles ago
  • Registration and TX state inspection valid until 2015


"MODS"
  • VIS Mugen rep hardtop, painted and finished in Silverstone/Black to match
  • Full Blown aluminum radiator - Stock radiator fans
  • Hasport 62a Billet Engine Mounts - Supposed to have been stock replacement; GREAT feel and power transfer while driving, but they cause quite a bit of in-cabin vibration at idle RPM
  • Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Pump (installed in anticipation of a future turbo, still have stock)
  • Stainless Steel Straight Pipe after cat to right behind the rear axle (still have stock exhaust minus flange, used for straight pipe)
  • No-Name / Ebay front lip, unpainted but in excellent condition. Decent fit.


CONS
  • Excessive in-cabin vibration due to Hasport mounts; not unbearable, really just a minor annoyance at times
  • The straight pipe exhaust is loud. Not unbearable, but I really enjoy the sound the F20c makes, even while cruising; not everyone will.

 The title is clear, but there is still an open bank loan on the vehicle; the final loan payment to be made after full payment for the vehicle is received. The winning buyer is welcomed/encouraged to accompany me to the bank to complete the transaction. The account is current and in good standing.

Former Honda CEOs chide current boss about quality

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Taking charge of a major corporation will never be without its challenges, and one of those - as Honda CEO Takanobu Ito is finding out - is filling the big shoes of those that came before. Ito's predecessors are apparently not pleased with what he's doing to the company, and are wasting no time in telling him so.
According to Reuters, two former Honda chiefs have recently visited Ito (pictured above with his predecessor Takeo Fukui) to talk to him about the Japanese automaker's quality issues, which they apparently regard as eroding the company's image. Nobuhiko Kawamoto, who served as CEO from 1990-98, reportedly came to Honda headquarters in Tokyo to deliver "stern words" to Ito last month. Kawamoto's immediate successor, Hiroyuki Yoshino, reportedly met with Ito under similar circumstances earlier this year.
Kawamoto and Yoshino are part of a larger group of former Honda executives who are concerned with the declining quality of the company's products under Ito's leadership. Where Honda once focused more on quality, collaborating more closely with parts suppliers,more recently the company has, in the eyes of those former executives at least, shifted its focus to quantity and to new technologies. That's what, the report alleges, has led to Honda recalling so many of its vehicles in recent years.

Fernando Alonso denies giving McLaren a Honda-or-me ultimatum

Thu, Aug 31 2017

MONZA, Italy — Fernando Alonso has denied telling McLaren to choose between him and Honda as the Spaniard considers his future with the Formula One team. The two-time world champion also dismissed media speculation that he retired from last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix without there being anything technically wrong with his car's power unit. Some reports this week suggested that Alonso had run out of patience after three years of unreliable and under-powered engines and had told McLaren he would leave if it stayed with Honda. "Absolutely not true," the Spaniard, who won his titles with Renault more than a decade ago, told reporters at the Italian Grand Prix on Thursday. "I have absolutely not decided. More than anything I'm not bigger than a team," added the 36-year-old, who has said he will decide his future in September. His current contract expires at the end of the season. McLaren has sounded out Renault and has also indicated it would support Honda moving to Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso. Honda said after Spa that it could find nothing wrong with Alonso's race engine, but the driver expressed surprise that anyone could suggest he had faked a failure. "It seems people forget that I'm racing here for three years, giving my maximum ... I tried to race with a broken rib in Bahrain," he said, explaining that sensors had started to fail and something had felt wrong. "We retired the car, and they checked the whole engine and it seems everything is fine ... so we will try to fit that engine tomorrow (in the second practice). If it blows up, we will change it," he said. Alonso expects to start Sunday's race at the back of the grid due to penalties for further engine changes. Regarding his future, he said he would start discussing with the team and Honda their expectations for next year and look at what was on the table. "I think we do have now some ingredients to be champions," he said. "I think the team did improve a lot in the last three years ... I think we have the talent in the team, we have the facilities. "We just miss (being) more competitive. We will see what the numbers are saying for next year and after that try to make a decision." Asked whether he thought Honda could be competitive in the short term, he replied: "I think you never know. It could be possible. Why not?" Reporting by Alan BaldwinRelated Video:

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
