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.

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)*.

The Honda Neowing is a future-retro GoldWing trike

Thu, Oct 1 2015

Honda hasn't made a flat-four powered GoldWing since 1987, so it's not that odd to call this trike styled like a Transformer more traditional than the current 'Wings. Then again, with that extra wheel up front and a hybrid drivetrain, it couldn't be less traditional. The styling is decidedly modern, marrying the unabashed futurism of the NM4 with some sport-touring cues. Honda says the Neowing is intended to explore whether the company can combine higher-speed engagement (read: leaning) with low-speed stability. A rider can't fall over at a stoplight on a Neowing, an important consideration when the current GoldWing weighs 904 to 933 pounds. The leaning ability is provided by a proprietary linkage, and even though its method of operation isn't specified, don't be surprised if it's largely the same as a Piaggio MP3 – a pioneer in the leaning three-wheel category.If you're wondering if the Neowing can make it to production, or whether it will look anything like this concept, consider the NM4, pictured at right. That motorcycle pairs pure concept styling with unconventional mechanicals, like the six-speed dual-clutch transmission that allows for full automatic operation. Both the styling and the DCT are intentionally disruptive in the segment; Honda wants to bring in nontraditional riders, and perhaps new riders. The DCT will appeal to those intimidated or uninterested in manually shifting, and the Neowing might appeal to riders looking to tour without fear of dropping a half-ton motorcycle. Honda will have the Neowing in Tokyo, and perhaps the company will shed more light on their plans for the wild-looking concept there.

First production HondaJet nearly completed

Tue, 20 May 2014

We may mention Honda around here mostly for its cars, but the Japanese industrial giant makes a whole lot more than that. The company builds motorcycles, ATVs, marine engines, power equipment and - soon enough - jet airplanes.
Honda has been working on its first private jet since before 2006, and after a good eight years or so of prototype testing, began building its first production version a bit over a year ago. And now it's almost ready for delivery.
The first production HondaJet is nearing completion and has had its GE Honda HF120 jet engines installed, after which it will conduct initial ground tests before taking its first flight this summer. The jet is painted in a new shade of pearl green with a gold stripe, added to the color catalog alongside the silver, red, yellow and blue options.
