So I'm interested in the design challenges, objectives, and solutions found to produce the car we all love. At a meet last week someone said there are videos of S2000's being assembled by hand on Honda's Japanese site. I managed to stumble upon them. Pretty cool stuff.

There seems to be a lot more information on the S than was ever on Honda's US site. Unfortunately all the text only comes up as symbols for me (no, not even Japanese...±‚Ñ‚É–ž‚¿‚½ƒnƒ“). Does anyone know of another resource with this info or can translate the page(s)?

etc.

etc.

 

Nobody? Nothing? Not even comments on the vids? Come on guys!

 

Install Japanese text support in your web browser and you'll get characters. I can't watch the vid now or I'd comment on it.

 

That was amazing to watch, my gf was even impressed.

I think there is a bit of prestige in owning a car that you can say was hand built.

Thanks!

 

Japan = Pride in their creation , US = Just another car

 

use google chrome. It has a translate feature

I can't believe I watched the whole thing! Thanks for posting.

 

Pretty cool videos to watch. Wish they were a bit clearer though.
