S2KI – Honda S2000 Community

In this Video of the Week we introduce to you, a great video production combined with a very interesting track… on track. It is the duel of fates soundtrack which gives a nice touch between one red and one black S2000… fighting with each other, for glory and fame. Changing lines, hunting down and sliding around. Who is going to win this duel? Blackness or hotness? Enjoy the video!

We’ve all at some point received comments from strangers about our S2000’s. Of course some aren’t as welcomed as others, but I digress. It still strikes me as amazing that a 10 year old design still attracts positive attention. Continue reading →

Rain, rain go away....

There is no denying that rain can be the bane of our driving existence . We cringe at the thought of raising the top and driving through puddles and rivulets on the roads, dreading the clean up in store and cursing the weather gods. It also doesn’t help that often times our car is setup for summer driving and inclement conditions result in unfortunate situations for those caught unawares. Continue reading →

We would like to welcome our community members and the rest of the world to this new category of our Home page. Every week we’ll introduce you, videos from around the globe for your pleasure and entertainment. Of course those videos will be related to the Honda S2000 and the S2KI community, bringing up a good reason for discussion through your weekend. It is no coincidence that we have nominated Friday to be the Video of the Week day.

In this first series of videos, we bring to your screen the interesting battle between the WRC EVO and the J’s Racing S2000 that took place in the Touge. One of the most favorite battle stations you could say through all these years. Although the cars’ setup is different, the result depends to the drivers style as well. In this video, the WRC EVO gets beaten on both runs with no surprise to be honest. After all, we have explained already in a previous article why the S2000 is better that an EVO.

So, time to watch the following video and share your opinion with us. Enjoy!

Shifter feeling notchy? It may be time to lubricate the shifter. We wish to thank Saki GT for sharing this detailed DIY with great instructions and photos.

First, use the TSB for the 2002 5th gear lockout for detailed instructions on the process.

Step one – remove the shift knob and center console. If the shift knob is OEM, it has a counter-nut you need to loosen before you can take the knob off, otherwise just unscrew it and remove. (See here for details: Shift boot replacement DIY). On an AP2 there are four clips you need to pop by pulling up on the sides of the console. Two in front of the shifter, and two behind the cubby.

Why am I the center of attention suddenly??

What is the truth? Only those who have tried and lived to brag about it, know. Of course the internet provides for great stories. Top up? or down?, windows open or closed? Is there a preference? Or does it really matter. Why is it so important to know if you can, or you can’t? Continue reading →

Yep, that’s right! I’ve got to wake up again this morning, get myself dressed up and go to work. Same typical routine once the alarm goes off; brush my teeth, have a shower or at least wash my face. For those that have their S2000 as a daily drive, you get a bit of a smile on your face and enjoy the daily route all the way to the office. For those that use a different car as a daily drive, as I do, you usually get a cup of coffee from the coffee shop which waits right next door or a bit further, and drive all the way to the office.

The first phrase coming out of my mouth at work is a nice “good morning” to my colleagues. Then I just sit on the chair and turn the power on at the laptop on my desk. Loading, loading, and here we go reading all those new business emails that have been received since yesterday. The work load is heavy at most of the time, but I manage to open my web browser in a little stealth window to avoid any conflicts with colleagues and managers. Surely, I don’t want to get into trouble for any reason at work, but Internet access is available for all of us and we are addicted to it. Actually, I would rather say that I’m addicted to S2KI forums and to the entire S2KI community.

My brakes work........NOT!!

Why do we hate hybrids so much? Blame Toyota. No, really. Okay, Okay, half-way blame Toyota. My opinion has absolutely nothing to do with their current recall woes. It has more to do with the Prius and what that vehicle has accomplished. It wasn’t the first hybrid vehicle sold in the U.S. That accolade goes to Honda’s Insight. Continue reading →

The word Vintage, has several meanings. It could mean (among others), old-fashioned or obsolete, or it could mean being the best of its kind. The S2000 Vintage Owners forum definitely fits the latter meaning. While the word “vintage’ may certainly have some negative connotation, this forum, in my humble opinion, is the farthest from any such thing. Continue reading →

This time we shall take you deeply into the world of detailing and more specific we will share with you the art of detailing since our fellow S2000 owner, krshultz, has done an incredible work in his engine bay.

Honestly, there is no question about this. I mean, how many times have you opened the hood of your S2000, realizing that you must clean your engine bay? Personally, I think this is the part of the car that usually doesn’t get cleaned up so well. As time goes by, the engine bay collects dust, moisture, stains from various fluids or leftovers after a service at the dealer. So, all those things are kept in various area of the engine bay and you remove them eventually after a nice wash.

Karl, thanks for sharing with us all the steps and tips below.
