My first s2k
Well lads i went over to the uk on thursday to view a car and i came home with it!Very clean car she is almost standard she has a mugen exhaust that was bonus!She is a 01 S2000 V VGS which are only available in japan.VGS stands for variable geared steering!
The steering is on full lock with 1.4 of a turn at low speeds but when you get faster the ratio changes so the steering becomes less sensitive, i love it only down side is when you drive the car for so long you get used to it and get in a normal car and the steering is shit!
Major Features of the type V:
Its the world's first variable gear ratio steering (VGS) system ,
It has a specially developed chassis (including damper units, stabilizer and limited slip differential exclusively designed for the model) in order to best complement the VGS , "type V" steering wheel and VGS badge (on rear) WOW!:rlaugh)
It also puts out less emmisions than a standard s2000 .My one has a few more extra's like the forged 16 inch BBS wheels and a few pansy bits inside it.I love the drive from it and am delighted with everything about the car.

Good post! Nice steering wheel, sexy! I dont even want to know what that would cost to get an OEM one! The grass is always greener on the other side.
