[QUOTE=RED MX5,Aug 18 2006, 01:46 PM] That's the dumbest post I've read here in months.

 

And your posts are so brilliant. But I'm affraid it's not one man's opinion. It's a fact that the ring and pinion gears are designed for the Miata. And its a fact that the S2000 has had major problems with differential failures. And it's might be a fact that you don't know what the hell you are talking about in your posts. All you have posted is your opinion. The members of this forum would be better off if you kept them to yourself.

 

I guess when u only make 300 you dont have much to worry about

 

I agree; However, I wasn't the one who started pissing by accusing others of BS. That WAS NOT me. Look back and see for yourself.

My concern is that we constantly see people getting paranoid about the reilability of their S2000, because of all the problems they read about here on S2kI. New owners reading this thread could easily come away with the impression that the S2000 differential is a a time bomb. Many people have gotten the idea that they can't supercharge the car (not talking turbo here) and expect the clutch or diff to survive, but in reality we have had plenty of owners do this without having any problems, and it's not becaue they all drive like wimps.

I have tried very hard to qualify my statements. With the stock driveline a high RPM clutch drop will either cause the clutch to slip or spin the tires. While this may be a fortutious accident, I am inclined to believe that it is by design.

The problem we have here is that we always hear from people who have breakage, and never from those who don't, and that gives many people the wrong impression(s). It is not BS for someone who is NOT having problems to point out his own experiences, but I feel that calling such things BS is nothing but BS.

Anyway, if you wan't people who have no problems to remain silent then you might as well ban me.

 

Just so you know, I have complained to the moderators about your posts.

Nobody here was even having a disagreement until you popped in with your BS.

Thanks for screwing up an interesting thread.

Sorry but I have to say that I agree with Red MX5, except I'd have been more tactful about it.

fperra you may have an opinion you feel is correct, when the fact of the matter is, there is cold hard factual evidence slapping your opinion across the face. myself being one of those MANY MANY MANY who have beat the crap out of their car with launches and NEVER had a single issue with the diff.

I've owned 2 S2000's. BOTH of them saw over 1000 launches EACH. and i NEVER had trouble with the diff.

the problem is this: the line between fault of the diff and fault of the driver is blurred. because many dont know how to properly launch or drive this car, it's easy to take diff problems that should be blamed on the driver and blame them on the diff, because a couple people have had an issue with diff failure.

of the thousands upon thousands of owners of this car, this site alone, look at those with failed diffs. believe it or not, it's less than 2%. FI or not.

so, if the failure rate of this car is 2% or less just on this website of thousands of owners registered with a VIN, how is our diff weak and inadequate? so if you're going to make such a bold opinion you might want to make sure you have some facts to back it up. the evidence clearly indicates your opinion has zero merit.


that said, this thread has gone downhill enough, and there's no reason for it to continue as such.
