Okay folks... in celebration of my differential's self-destruction this past weekend, I've decided it would be a good idea to start a "Jason's S2000 Breakage Pool". So take your guess at what I will break next on my car! Just so you know where my car stands so far, here's a chronological list (starting with the earliest) of what has broken/failed in the last 2 years:

1. Passenger side rear hub/bearing
2. Driver's side axle
3. Exhaust manifold stay
4. MAP sensor
5. Front upper A-arm brackets
6. Passenger side rear hub/bearing AND axle
7. Driver's side rear hub/bearing
8. Differential

my guess is something in the transmission will be next to let go.

Good gawd Jason! Is Honda covering any of this or are you SOL because of the way you're using the car? How much longer before you switch to a different car?

Hmmm...transmission is a strong possibility...what else can I think of?

Sheared off driveshaft splines like Mitch?
Bent valves due to a ham-fisted co driver?
Maybe a cone gets thrown into the drive belts and breaks some pulleys?
Unforseeable frame or suspension breakage (in the spirit of torn a-arm brackets)?
Steering rack?

So much to break, so little time...

that's not too bad man, considering that you have managed too keep from hitting anything, you're doing pretty good by my standards!

my guess would be the passenger side rear hub bearing again...unless you reinforced it now
