      Trying to be realistic and not nostalgic, the inegra is exactly what i thought it would be...a better ilx.... based on the si...But now a 5 door. Doesnt look as good as the tlx tho. If they brought back the s2k... I think it would follow the original with a screaming type r engine, but it would be bigger because of safety requirements... They brought the nsx back and it was still a midengine supercar, but bloated for safety. all cars have to be now. They should have revived the s2k instead of the nsx

    The sales figures literally folded in half each year, until the final year it sold less than 100 and Honda decided to cancel it then and there even though the AP3 plans were finalized.
    One look at its direct competition, Mazda's MX5, only took a sales dip of a couple thousand, same with Porsche Boxster and Mercedes SLk, yet managed to keep going. People had woken up to the fact they can get a better car for just 15k more, or a slightly slower yet more agile car for 4 to 8k less.
    Didn't help with the S2k motor choice, feeling like a 1990 Civic until you reached its torqueband at 7k rpm. It's sad that this is probably Honda's best car made to date, NSX considered as well, but the S2000 successor, the S660, took a chapter from Mazda's book and manages to not only be faster and more agile than the S2000, it does so with less. Less cylinders, less horsepower, less weight, less rpm; it's just a shame it was only sold in Asia market.
    The S660 was cancelled when Japan announced it will only have electric cars by 2035, so unless Honda brings the S platform back as all electric, there will never be another S2000.

    my only regret is not buying a CR because I knew those would take off, but if I did buy one it probably would've been stored the entire time. Bought my black 05 s2000 with 53,000 miles on may 1, 2011. Was my first online car purchase and I was sold a dud. Engine seized on me within a few months, however I swapped a motor from a CR (had around 30,000 miles) and had to retain some components from the stock engine to have it run like normal. Car has been perfect ever since.
    When i pulled the original timing cover off to inspect, it looked like green jello was stuck everywhere. That engine is still sitting in storage, meant to sell it a long time ago.
    Car currently has a mishimoto full aluminum x-line radiator, stock top (no tears), modifry dci to retain factory dash control for the aftermarket radio/cd player, moddiction powder coated black anvil weighted shift knob, nvidia q300 dual exhaust with burnt titanium colored tips, and an izze engineering heat pump bypass so I don't throw codes for the heat pump being disabled (happened when the new motor was put in). Also has a nice foldout cupholder installed on the passenger side by the transmission tunnel, a storage organizer, and has a K&N filter. Valve cover was painted pearl blue, has a carbon fiber spark plug cover, and an aluminum clutch fluid reservoir. BC racing coilovers with swift springs have been in the garage for a year, but I only wanted to install them when I was ready to do a full suspension refresh with new ball joints, tie rods, and control arm bushings.

Whether I'm driving to KFC, gas station or work people are always complimenting my car which is new to me. Driving this car with the top down and hearing the car rev up to 9000 rpms is something you must experience in your life time. The engine and VTEC sound is so unique compared to all the normal B and K series. When the designer of the car said to cherish it and share it with others, thats exactly what I'm going to do. I don't plan on selling this car anytime soon and plan on keeping it as a classic car till im an old man. If you have enough money, id recommend buying this car...I have people asking to buy my car all the time but I dont plan on selling. Get it before it becomes unatainable like the Supra etc.

      The Elise is such an impressive car for what it is. I'd love to drive one (though the thought of damaging either the front or rear clamshell would terrify me from an ownership standpoint. While targa tops have their advantages, they can't match the sensory experience provided by a true convertible in my experience. Of course the Elise would make up for this in other ways, but given the value you've placed on refinement it does seem like a bit of a surprising choice.

      Sadly, the same can be said for far too many other cars as well these days. The pandemic has had such a major impact on the prices for so many different things, not just S2000's. Though I've owned mine for less than 5 years, its value has nearly doubled in that time. While this is partly due to mine being white and all original, it's largely due to the pandemic. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see prices dropping to some degree if we can ever manage to get past COVID-19. Hang on to your money if you can bear to do so as many things will change post-pandemic.

Took it to the “Tail of the dragon” this year. And that is where this car really feels in it’s element. Its not a poser or a wanna be. It imbues the very DNA of what a true sports car is and should be.

      What's wrong with you? Why do you keep buying and reselling the same car? Do you have ADD and get bored of it in 6 months to just go right back 6 months later? If you like it that much to have purchased an s2k 5 times, stop selling them! lol

But I honestly don't envision this technology lasting beyond 2050. Governments wouldn't even have to ban the ICE as they could simply drive up prices/taxes on fossil fuels to the point where nobody would pay them while making gas stations so hard to find it wouldn't be worth the trouble. Reading up on the Net Zero movement around the globe has been a real eye opener.

    After reading the forums for few years I understood why everyone thinks transmission is made of glass. Most people think they are smarter than Honda ingeneers and put all kind of oils way different than manual says. I was on track with my stock one few times, touge, going for top speed, doing starts from 4k rpms and rev it up to 9k pretty often. Still like new . 75w90 LS Motul gear in the diff and MTF3 in the gearbox. Changed periodically.

    On my second AP1 now (hopefully keeping for life) - I think the original is perfect for what it was meant to be. The F22C seemed like just an afterthought/compromise mainly for Americans who wanted the car to be something it just wasn't designed to be and although still fun I've driven several and they feel kind of soft and neutered compared to the original. If they want to make a more America-centric convertible I think a V6 or factory turbo would have been better routes. If they want to release a new S convertible, really hope they keep it manual transmission and RWD. It was never supposed to be a speed demon or drag racer, so honestly for the time 240 crank HP was plenty enough to get an unskilled driver in trouble.

Clutch delay valve delete, and a k&n filter with the uk airbox mod and it’s much much more enjoyable to drive. Granted, there’s nothing quite like those high rpm ap1’s, but with a little bit of tinkering, the ap2’s aren’t great! But they’re all great to me lol I’m a fanboy 😅

      @@jrelyea828 for sure, an AP2 is still way better than no S2000! I just remember the one stock AP2 I test drove and it wasn't my cup of tea vs an AP1. Definitely easier to have as an only car for daily driving, but losing that extra 1000 rpm over Civics/Integras of the day, having to shift into 3rd gear to hit 60mph and the softer suspension and clutch just felt like it was a little bit neutered compared to the raw screaming twitchiness of the original. IMO the best 'stock' ish S2000 would be probably an 03 AP1 but with AP2 wheels and rear sway bar.
