Many of us have memories of our very first track outing. The hustle and bustle around the paddock, purpose-built race cars being driven in on trailers, the whirr of pneumatic tools as lug nuts are tightened and the public announcement system calling groups to the staging area. All that may make a rookie feel out [...]

Many of us enjoyed reading i_heart_my_db8‘s encounter with the McLaren MP4-12C. While we are all worshippers at the altar of VTEC, most of us remain at heart car enthusiasts and acknowledge other cars. Likewise, it warms our heart when a fellow car enthusiast acknowledges our enthusiasm as well. As things turned out, a group of [...]

“Don’t get a ticket, and don’t get dead.” It takes a different part of your brain to speak than it does to think, so sometimes it’s important to verbally reaffirm your goals before you set out for the day. It had been a long week, so I thought I’d set out on a beautiful, sunny, [...]

On behalf of the Owners, Admins, Moderators and our Community Organizers, we would like to wish you and yours all the best for the holiday season and the upcoming new year. At the time of writing we are nearing 20 million posts and have crossed the 100,000 membership mark. Amazing numbers for a community that [...]

Who knew that S2000′s could talk (or type) with a distinctly Aussie accent? In the first-ever recorded case of human-machine linguistic communication (because siri really is a person responding from a call center overseas), we hear from one S2000 that has found a home in Perth, Australia, telling us how Christmas is celebrated down under [...]

  ‘Tis the season of receiving. We say that knowing fully well that most of you have either a list of goodies or some expectation of what you want to receive this season for your S2000. Being the motorheads that we are, it is par for the course. We started a debate of sorts amongst [...]

We got word from fellow news team member, JulieU, that a write-up was brewing  from one of  the crew that attended the 2011 Boston Mountains Tour (BMT). A significant other and forum member, Ms. Goes Fast, was so inspired by the event that she wrote a speech for a class project about the Boston Mountains [...]

The increasing cold is sending shivers down the spine for most members in the Northern Hemisphere and we wouldn’t just attribute that to the cold. It is nearing the end of driving season and for some the driving season may have already ended. This is the time to jack the car up and crawl under [...]

Select Honda S2000 owners from Southern California, the Bay Area, Arizona, and Nevada will be participating in the parade laps for the IZOD IndyCar World Championships race in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 16. As part of the festivities, thirty-five S2000 owners from the group will get to chaperone an IndyCar driver around the course [...]

Here in sunny Singapore, with a total population of only 5 million, the S2000 is a rare sight with latest head count estimates putting the total number of S2000s at just under 50. Most of the owners, like myself, generally meet online to chat and discuss about tracking or modifications, but meets and drives have [...]

  It used to be that cars didn’t have lights, then they had a couple, and now they have a lot. How they function and their purpose has changed over the years, so here’s a little history. High beams used to be the norm in driving. There was so little traffic you would drive and [...]

The art of communicating with your car is frankly a dying art; people can’t even be bothered with turn signals anymore, but it used to be the case that everyone used the lights on their vehicles to communicate with one another. It’s part of a lost art of driving, so here’s a refresher or lesson [...]

The 11th Annual DragonBall Run was held recently among the hills and dales of the Great Smoky Mountains where years ago highway engineers laid asphalt little realizing the joy they’d bring to legions of motorists. As always, the event was a big success and enjoyed by all its participants. Three of them, Airgate, the Master [...]

Formula One is the pinnacle of motorsport and several of us continue to watch it even though Honda decided to withdraw from the sport at the end of 2008. Our member, MB, from the United Kingdom, got a chance to visit Singapore and watch the Singapore Grand Prix in person. He also took the effort [...]

As much as local meets and drives are fun, there is a whole other level of fun that can be had by participating in pan-regional events. The S2000 Meets and Events section plays host to several events, both regional and across regions. For those interested, there currently are two pan-regional events scheduled for next month [...]
