We’ve often heard of how well the S2000 does on the racetrack and how competitively a well set up S2000 performs alongside higher horsepower rivals. Case in point, the ASM S2000 holds the lap record for the fastest Naturally Aspirated (NA) car at the Tsukuba Circuit in Japan having won the Front Engine Rear Wheel [...]

Two cylinders. The third had died as I passed through the tollbooth, frantic to escape the freeway traffic with which I could no longer keep pace. Two clattering cylinders, just enough to limp into the first parking lot in sight, a rather dismal motel; any port in a storm. With a sinking heart and a [...]

Sunglasses. Of all the things that become important when driving a convertible, sunglasses are arguably the most important thing to have. With the top down on a nice sunny day, or even an overcast one, being able to see where you’re going is greatly enhanced by a quality pair of specs, but how much do [...]

Driving an S2000 on the track can be a lot of fun. It is a safer environment in which to push the limits of the car and oneself than on the street. There is an etiquette that must be followed on track, an unspoken rule some would say about yielding to the better driver regardless [...]

A certain vibe permeates the atmosphere whenever car enthusiasts meet. Our enthusiasm for this incredible machine combined with the camaraderie of friends creates just such a “vibe” for us at the Wake The Dragon event this spring. Every year, S2000 Owners congregate upon the rolling hills of the Great Smoky Mountains to celebrate the spirit [...]

When Honda announced that S2000 production was coming to an end, the reactions were wide and varied. You had people giving in and buying the car anticipating that the car’s value would only increase. You also had a huge group of proud owners determined to hold on to their cars and at the same time [...]

The title although catchy, might be a bit misleading for what you’re about to read. We are in no way suggesting that you stick like glue to your S2000, but rather trying to ask how long it took you to learn how to shift a manual transmission. Driving styles and learning-how-to-drive varies by continent and [...]

An anti-theft system is one of the most popular accessories for a vehicle and provides a psychological sense of security. Such systems vary in terms of features. Some of them are quite sophisticated and include GPS tracking, remote start functions and more while others are just a basic alarm system, no more and no less. [...]

Euro Meet 2009 Revisited Continues from Part One. leftfootbraking on EuroMeet 2009: I quickly arrived back with the car and we off loaded our bags. At this stage I noticed that everyone else was washing and polishing their cars. Having covered over 2000km since home my Grand Prix White S2000 was only a few shades [...]

The 2009 Easter weekend saw S2000s from all over Europe assemble for EuroMeet 2009 in Trento, Italy, a town nestled just south of the Italian Alps. This was an event organized within the S2KI community, including the significant local organization by S2K Italia Club and the UK community. More than 220 S2000 owners from Europe [...]

Summer time calls for cold refreshments and we often keep cool by enjoying an ice cream cone. That said, there are other cones, the dodging of which will not only make you cooler but also pump up your adrenaline and possibly turn you into a better driver. They say driving skills can be acquired and [...]

Having wasted around 8 minutes of his life watching videos from weeks past, and being way too kind to say something unkind, our member HadesMR decided to make a video with his S2000 and show all of us how its done. It never ceases to amaze us when it comes to the wide choice of [...]

A weekend of bliss. There is no better way to describe the S2000 Arkansas Boston Mountains Tour (BMT) to a gearhead/twisty-road addict. The BMT is not for the faint of heart, nor for the quarter-mile-at-a-time crowd. It’s a full day of driving an impeccably planned route throughout Northwest Arkansas on roads seemingly purpose-built for sports [...]

Owing to its unique properties and advantages, carbon fiber has become the norm for exotic cars as well as race cars. Seeing how the [...]
