Sure they are, just don't go with the Kraftwerks kit, otherwise you'll sell your S2000, lol.

So, I drove my mom's S2000 last night ... hadn't gotten behind the wheel in 1 for almost a year.
I forgot how incredibly well designed and precise shifter is - it's literally perfect .. upshifts, downshifts, whatever shifts, whatever situation .. it's there all of the time. And the steering .. perfect. I've been accustomed to having decent power / torque over the last year or so ... so ... I'm actually surprised of how slow it felt :tomato:. Totally not the point of the car, but I remember it being faster. |

If only I had the funds to buy another S2000 and J-swap it :rofl:

Front end heavy? |

Maybe a tad heavier ... nothing a battery relocation can't fix.
In retrospect, the F20/F22 are masterpieces though - leaving it N/A and driving the piss out of it is really what it's all about. |

I only like driving it in the morning / at night with light traffic to truly enjoy the power. It's not terrible to daily, but having a 6 puck clutch & 15mpg is not really what I'd call desirable. I love dailying my Fit ... simple motoring at it's finest. |
that's what I do...
I am still in love with mine... |
I'm changing my final drive to make 80mph be closer to 1500 rpm...
then I'm doing a manual coil pack cylinder deactivation for highway cruising to get down to 1 cylinder. Should be around 30mpg by the time I'm done. Perfect daily: The Honda S2000 |

I prefer just splashing water in the ECU for cylinder deactivation

LBP and GPW for me in that order but I DONT KNOW ANYONE SELLING ONE :annoyed: |
i am sure you can find it ... but with a premium added obviously...
But to be honest, if you are not buy it to collect, just buy 1 in any color and wrap it.... Being a 10+ year car, the paint is probably not going to be perfect anyway. That is what i would do... instead of chasing for LBP or GPW paying premium for a 10-15 years old paint job. |
Rio or bust :O
|
My previous car was LS1 powered. Torque is definitely nice, but I'll take high revving please. It's easier and cheaper to get more torque, but harder to build high revving power. |
Those big engines can only really flex muscle in the straights :monocle:

Bob knows that...
technology isn't a bad thing if you use it to your advantage. I'd like to see someone with a naturally aspirations engine try and make 90 more foot pound with a $500 software update. |

I'm just going to rattlecan plastidip it :bitelip:
|
dipyourcar isn't your plastidip paint job of the past!
i do love my yellows! :hug: |
How much does a good wrap job go for these days? I'd love to get a green wrap done on the Golf if the price was right...
|
More than a Maaco paint job.
Probably be cheaper to do a good coat of wax and then have them paint the car without prepping it. Couple years later all the paint will have fallen off cleanly and you can do it again. |

But like paint... you gotta pay more if you want the good stuff. $1 to $3k depends on cars, materials and of course the person who does it. I have seen as high as 6 or 7Gs..... but that is just stupid. |
Aside from the smurf-homicide all-blue interior, Suzuka & Laguna Blue were my favorites.
Silvers probably next after that. |
