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 [...]

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 [...]

I know we have all seen it, heard it, or even said it ourself, what am I talking about? Good question. I will get to that in a second, but first let me say this. Everyone on the planet is different, that is what makes us who we are, or what we strive to become. [...]

Lest my play on words in the header has you thinking that our S2000′s were blissfully snoozing without a care in the world, let me assure you that it was quite the contrary. The village of Watkins Glen nestled in the Finger Lakes area, to the uninitiated, is a mecca to fans of racing and [...]

A lot of our discussions in Car Talk focus on all-out acceleration performance, top speed and track handling characteristics of various cars. While I appreciate the edge of the envelope capabilities of a performance car, I rarely get to exercise the machine to anywhere near its limits during 95% of the time in the driver’s [...]

I have a confession to make. I was very unfamiliar with Honda about 6 years ago. Heck, I was not even a fan. I would hear about this vtec thing and not get it. It would be scribbled on the side panel of some Hondas as if it was something special. The cars with the [...]

This is a subject that I’ve always wanted to share. However it goes beyond S2KI and to all motor-heads out there. I will try and describe how an opinion can turn into a conversation and sometimes even into a misleading argument… or not. All these years as a member of S2KI I have come across [...]

Do you ever feel that your S2000 might be feeling lonely sometimes? A strong bond between the driver and the S2000 is instantly generated; love at first sight. But what about your S2000, do you think it is in love with the driver or perhaps with another S2000? I am convinced that when two S2000s [...]

The recent global economic storm has caught us all by surprise. We see entire nations & communities struggling to make sense of the downturn and adjust to the consequences. The paradigm of constant growth has proven to be a mirage and the situation calls for an assessment of where we are headed and what needs [...]

Winter for us in Upstate New York and the North-East is a time when the S is typically hibernating in a nice warm garage with tires inflated and a full cosmetic wash and wax. A time when most of us spend more time on the forum complaining about old man winter and long for the [...]

Have you ever considered yourself a fast driver just because you drive a fast car that can be launched for a quarter of a mile? I am sure that you have thought of this and even got tempted to prove it on the streets. Does it ring a bell? Did you got challenged while driving [...]

I always believe Honda worked to the beat of a very different drummer. I didn’t figure out exactly who it was until right now. Let us examine some of the evidence that explains this corporation is led by someone special. I believe that they have zero interest in being that oh-so sought after “number 1.” [...]

From our S2000 Vintage Owners forum I’m still looking for the fountain of youth, but haven’t found it yet. Sports cars have been a huge part of my life ever since my Air Force day’s in the early 1960′s. They have helped keep me young – at least in spirit. Over the years, I’ve had [...]

I have had my S2000 for almost six years. I quite often feel that it has handicapped my abilities to drive a non-sports car. Many of us on here daily drive our S2000’s. In many cases that means we don’t have passengers. On a day to day basis we have gotten accustomed to bliss. We [...]
