Has anyone managed to get any information on when the 2002MY changeover happens in the UK?

The dealer I spoke so far wasn't prepared to guarantee a 2002MY car.

Honda have been very evasive about it, barring saying it usually happens in October. Since I'd be ordering a car for October delivery I don't want to be caught just before the model changes.

It might be nice to have the mythical 'Grass' rear window :p

My Silver/Red is due to arrive at the dealer on 14 September, I checked with them and it will be a MY2001....

Don't know if that helps at all??

So you've decided then Brian? ;)

September / October is change over.

If the car is on the production line while change over then it will go back on the line for any upgrades or changes.

Various sources have told me this.

Often.

Mmmmmm... Sounds like it:D

Now Brian, remember that there's no racing at track days ;) :D

Guys,
I have a funny feeling that the new car is going to be more money for the base model.

The reason I'm interested is if 2002MY doesn't glass rear window then I'll haggle to get a hardtop cheapish.

And no this doesn't mean I've decided.

At all ;)

Romours that I've been checking exhausts to give a S2k a voice like the ITR are completely unfounded. I have an alaby and witnesses ;)

Besides, by ITR brakes are due to be sorted on Friday :cool:

Where I'll be saturday morning, well who knows :p

Hardtop :eek:

And this from an ITR owner :eek: 20Kg :eek: :rolleyes:

Here's me thinking you'd have the carpets up and the sound damping out.....

Funny you should mention the exhaust. When the car was up on the jack I noticed the back box has complex piping. It looks like it's in effect two boxes in one.... Take a look behing the back wheel. I think this will be primariliy for noise.... Do Mugen do a replacement BB?

When I was down the car showroom today the dealer was trying to get me to buy a hardtop. He reconned that it made it look much more of a coupe (he mentioned it was Cerbera like....).

Now if I could get Cerbera sound too......

Yes please :p

20 Kgs... :rolleyes:

Maybe the perfect excuse for Mugen Exhaust+Manifold. - purely so that the car weighs in at standard with the top up ;) Nothing at all to do with Titanium, more sound, more power, more torque. Nothing at all :p

I must admit the Mugen Exhaust/Header looks like craftsmanship... mmm Titanium :cool:

And the Spoon system...

Then again there's a Mugen Carbon Fibre (Or cheaper frp.) HardTop... Or maybe not. Black Carbon HT, Black Carbon Bonnet on Red car.... It would either look great, or like an escapee for Starsky and Hutch! :rolleyes:

From the sounds of it I'd be more likely to save 20kg+ from my wallet :D

I'd always thought it would hard to get Mugen/Spoon bits in the UK... but after meeting Nana (Prop. of Option Motorsport) and seeing Spoon and Mugen'ed Honda's I now have no excuse. Not cheap, but the quality of the parts and work amazed me.

If you hear tortured screams that's just my wallet :eek:

-Brian.

Brian,

Have you got a URL for Option and the Mugen bits? I'd like to find out how much the Mugen BB's are.... :eek::cool:

Hearing the Spoon'd up ITR at Bentwaters was an instant VTEC erection.... :D (Obviously I mean the process whereby the cam profile is changed.... ;) )
