Top has a slight tear on the passenger side--about .5"-1" in length. Front bumper has some rock chipping which is to be expected of a 12 year old car and a few scratches from when my father pulled it into the garage and scraped the wall pulling in. Pictures are all taken with a Nikon D-40X which should show these issues in great detail"

For sale is my baby, my first child. 


This adult-owned and driven, never smoked in 2002 Honda S2000 was purchased by me used with 17K miles in 2006. In the seven years since purchasing it, it has morphed into an incredibly fast, extremely reliable and daily-drivable street beast. Beyond all the great features already standard on the Honda S2000 making it one of the best performing cars for the money, this vehicle was professionally built to go fast, while still maintaining it's civil nature.

The S2000 was introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year and was given the chassis designation of AP1. It featured a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with power being delivered by a 1,997 cc (122 cu in) inline 4-cylinder DOHC-VTEC engine. The engine (codenamed F20C) produced outputs of 177–184 kW (237–247 hp), and 208–218 N·m (153–161 lbf·ft) depending on the target market.[5] The engine was mated to a six-speed manual transmission and Torsen limited slip differential. The S2000 achieved what Honda claimed as "the world's top level, high performance 4-cylinder normally aspirated engine"

Features include independent double wishbone suspensionelectrically assisted steering and integrated roll hoops. The car featured 16 in (41 cm) wheels with Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tires. The compact and lightweight engine, mounted entirely behind the front axle, allowed the S2000 to achieve a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and lower rotational inertia. An electrically poweredvinyl top with internal cloth lining was standard, with an aluminum hardtop available as an optional extra.

The 2001 model was largely unchanged, but Honda upgraded the radio and added a digital clock to the dashboard display. For the 2002 model year, suspension settings were revised and the plastic rear window was replaced by a glass unit incorporating an electric defroster. Other updates included slightly revised tail lamps, an upgraded radio, a leather gearshift knob and a revised engine control unit.

The AP1 was manufactured up to 2003 at Honda's Takanezawa plant, alongside the Honda NSX and Honda Insight hybrid.


The S2000 has received much praise from critics and motoring journalists and has received favourable reviews from such publications as Car and Driver. Highlighted are the high output of the engine, the high redline, the balanced handling, and the smooth gearbox. User surveys have named the S2000 as a favorite for overall customer satisfaction.[23]


The S2000 for sale on this eBay ad has the following performance modifications, all built and installed by ASE-certified Platinum level Honda Technicians.
Engine:
Torn down at 44K miles and completely rebuilt by Jeremy Allen of InLinePro(http://www.inlinepro.com/s1/) and (http://www.allenbuilt.blogspot.com/)
F24C stroker kit installed (http://www.inlinepro.com/s1/p-257-s2000-f24-stroker-kit.aspx) with 10:1 compression CP pistons
stock head/stock cams/stock intake manifold
Every seal/gasket in the engine was replaced during rebuild
Car does not leak a drop of oil, which is not normally the case with turbocharged Hondas
Car dyno'd 510whp and 397TQ at the wheels at 15psi(very conservative boost level for this build--has never seen more than 15psi) on 93 octane ( http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/F24CDynoGraph.jpg <---may have to copy link into URL) and 440whp and 280TQ on 10psi
Car was professionally tuned by the best Honda tuner in the US(and likely the world) Jeff Evans (http://www.evans-tuning.com/) and has been running his tunes since 2008 with no issues....idles better than stock and gets better gas mileage than stock when not in boost--if you have enough self-control to keep it out of boost.

Started out as an off the shelf stage1 kit(kept and use the cast manifold for durability purposes--stronger and lasts much longer than regular tubular manifolds--makes dyno numbers even more impressive considering those numbers normally come from stage2 kits running more boost than this car is)
InlinePRO T3/T4 Cast Iron  turbo manifold
Borg warner or Garrett Turbo ( size will vary ) 
AEM EMS version 2
InlinePRO 675cc or 900cc injectors
InlinePRO injector clips
InlinePRO 2.5" charge pipes
InlinePRO Blowoff Valve
InlinePRO 3" downpipe
InlinePRO Couplers and clamps
InlinePRO 600 hp intercooler
Tial MVS Wastegate
Walboro 255 fuel pump
InlinePRO Oil Feed kit
InlinePRO Oil Return kit

However, I opted for the more expensive options including:
-Precision Turbo .63mm Dual ball-bearing oil-cooled turbo
-Hondata ECU
-Injector Dynamics 1000CC fuel injectors
-Competition Clutches Stage 5 full-face clutch(makes daily driving a breeze and will hold all the power this car is capable of making)

Some other things that make this car unique and even more driver/user-friendly include
-AEM TruBoost Gauge-type Controller----this boost gauge is also able to hold two boost level tunes, currently running a 10psi boost tune and a 15psi boost tune; switchable on the fly
-Hondata ECU--This car will pass emissions and inspections in any state with no issues whatsoever. Installed race catalyst in exhaust so that it will also pass visual inspections. I have had this car inspected at VERY respectable(Rahal Honda, etc.) Honda dealers with this set up as-is and have never been turned away or denied. Never have to worry about failing emissions with this vehicle.
-Custom made Air/oil separator installed and hidden behind front bumper to evacuate oil vapors in valve cover(no dipstick blowing out or seals in engine being destroyed by pressurized crankcase gases)
-Custom made heatshields for battery/fusebox[which was relocated parallel to fender], intercooler pipes and air filter, all wrapped in 100% real/authentic Gold-Leaf heatwrap. Gold is the most reflective and least heat absorbing metal on the planet and this really helps keep underhood temperatures and air intake temperatures down to reasonable levels. You can find out more about it here: http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?tpc=Reflective-Film-Gold&form_prod_id=3153&action=product  <---also applied to rear bumper to help reduce warping/discolouration from exhaust gases
-Braille 9-lb carbon-fiber racing battery 
-Koyo Radiator with OEM fans/fan shrouds
-New alternator
-New starter
-Lightweight 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 SSR GT-7 wheels----not replicas, real-deal SSRs
-Hood is shimmed in the back(near the wind shield) to help dissipate heat from the engine bay
-Seibon black Carbon Fiber Mugen-Style vented hood is available at the buy it now price. Looks like this: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/wm.php/images/seibons2000mghood5.jpg 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^please note that this is not my car, but an image to reflect the CF hood available

Beyond that, the entire rest of the vehicle is 100% stock and serviceable by any Honda dealer or technician in the world. Part of the reason why I built this car this way was because the car came from Honda almost as good as it could get. It simply needed more power and a reliable way of delivering that power.

You will not be disappointed by this car in the slightest. It starts and runs perfectly every time you get in it(just drove it 5 hours through traffic to the beach this past weekend in the extreme heat and with the A/C on full blast it never missed a beat). There are no underlying issues. THIS IS NOT A PROJECT CAR! This is a fully-built, ready to drive everyday vehicle that will not be coming with any surprises or issues. The reason I'm selling is because I'm moving to Colorado and will not be able to drive it 6+ months out of the year and I would rather someone who can give it the attention it deserves a chance to have fun with her. I will miss her. I may call you once a month to ask how she is or to see a pic of her. I may ask that you send me videos of her so I can hear her roar for old-times sake. She will make you happier than you could ever imagine.

If you're looking for a completely stock S2000, I ask you this, why would you spend the same money on a 100% stock and slow S2000 as you can on this and have better drivability, more performance and a better platform to start with. This would be the perfect start to a time attack or drift machine. I chose not to go those routes because I was too busy driving it and enjoying it everyday as-is.

***edit*** I have noticed looking through the vehicle history report that there are 2 incidents reported very early on in the ownership of the vehicle while it was parked.  This is news to me, as Carfax was not around back in 2006 when we bought it. However, I can assure you that this car is as straight as an arrow and I will be putting the vehicle up in the air to get some pictures of it from underneath and more pictures of the exterior/interior/etc. This will take a day or so, but I will update this before the end of the auction.

I would be happy to take more pictures or even shoot some video of her in action if you desire to see it running. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

2014 Honda Civic Si gets more power, priced from $22,790*

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Honda officially debuted the refreshed 2014 Civic SI Coupe at the SEMA Show last November, but it has taken until now for the Japanese automaker to share full pricing and specs for its high performance coupe and sedan.
The Si Coupe will go on sale at dealers on March 12 starting at $22,790, and the Si Sedan will follow on March 26 for $22,990 - both prices include a $790 destination charge. Buyers can opt to add summer tires for and additional $200 and navigation for $1,500. While the updates are relatively small, they are welcome.
Both body styles are fitted with a slightly tweaked 2.4-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with 205 horsepower and 174 pound-feet, an increase of 4 hp and 4 lb-ft of torque, and they only come with a six-speed manual. Fuel economy is unchanged from last year at 22 miles per gallon city, 31 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined. Honda didn't reveal performance specs, so we can't be sure if the small boost helps acceleration at all.

2016 Honda HR-V scores class-leading 35 mpg

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Smaller cars generally net better fuel economy ratings, and while crossovers aren't generally as efficient as hatchbacks and small sedans, smaller crossovers are getting better EPA ratings all the time. The latest to join the pack is the new 2016 Honda HR-V. The US Environmental Protection Agency has just released its ratings for the littlest Honda crossover, and the figures are pretty impressive. In front-wheel-drive form with the optional continuously variable transmission, the HR-V is rated at 28 miles per gallon in the city, 35 on the highway and 31 combined. Those figures make it the most economical conventionally powered SUV on the market. (The EPA doesn't distinguish between truck-based sport-utes and car-based crossovers) Among crossovers, the FWD HR-V outperforms the Nissan Juke, Kia Soul, Chevrolet Trax, Buick Encore... the whole lot. Only the Mazda CX-5 matches it on the highway rating, which is noteworthy since it's a much bigger vehicle. Along with the forthcoming Fiat 500X and Jeep Renegade, Mazda's nearly here CX-3 hasn't been rated yet (we predict it will score better than the HR-V, if only to improve on the fuel economy ratings of its larger CX-5 counterpart). Of course, there are hybrids that get better ratings than the Honda, but comparing a hybrid to a conventional vehicle is like comparing apples to electrically charged oranges. Naturally, the picture changes a bit if you go for all-wheel drive or the available six-speed manual. In AWD spec (only available with the CVT), the HR-V gets 27 city, 32 highway and 29 combined. The front-driver with the six-speed suffers a worse fate at 25 city, 34 highway and 28 combined. No matter which way you slice it, of course, the Fit hatchback upon which the HR-V is based, with its CVT hooked up to a smaller engine and with less weight to motivate, still sips fuel more lightly than the HR-V. But as far as crossovers go, Honda's new HR-V is looking pretty frugal. Featured Gallery 2016 Honda HR-V View 25 Photos News Source: EPAImage Credit: Honda Green Honda Crossover honda hr-v
