Default The Honda S2000 (56K warning)

Honda S2000
2.0L 4 cyclinder


This is the family sports car, our Honda S2000. As the story goes dad came home one day because the local dealer offered him the car for the weekend. But monday it was ours. It was a really spot of the moment thing and no one has looked back since.



We have taken it to two track days at winton which iwas a great experience. There is a video in the link provided below

dont let the 360 distact you


Myself in the passenger seat




^^^Me

Over the past six months i have gained my learners permit and now drive it is often as i can. It is a great feeling when you rev the engine to 9000 RPM be fore shitfing to the next gear and doing it again. It is such an easy car to speed in. Not having driven many sports cars i cant tell you that it compares good, but from what i can tell it holds the road really well in the corners except in the wet where it can be a bit tricky.
I dont believe in modifications that can rice the car up. However we did get S2000 lasered on the wind deflector whcih looks ok.



feel free to ask any questions and sorry if you have seen these pics before.

Here are some more random pics





















finally me with the car a couple of years back and TT it is a coincidence with the shirt

Nice car. I drove one about 3 years ago - it had an awesome gearbox - snick.. snick ...snick.

The 2000 edition was a bit nervous though - especially in the wet. Yours should be a lot better..

A great track car.

Hehe, I have a few of them myself, but quickly checking the rare pic of TT I have around, I wear one in maybe 10% of them that's what I call "coincidence"

but yeah it is good fun and loud as you could imagine
