Does anyone else have trouble with their S stalling out (die) during or right after a donut or maybe in some cases after a spin out at the track. All i can find is some owners report this problem...but no answer as to why.

 

FWIW, this is actually quite common, from what i've read...here's a thread documenting

Its overweight.

 

I don't do donuts, but during autocross spins I keep from stalling by following rule #1: in a spin both feet in I've read the explanation for the stall but it's beyond my grade level to explain.

BTW I've read donuts and differentials don't mix

 

maybe huh...

because doing donuts doesn't harm the differential at all. i'd buy a spare if i were you

 

Thanx XScarAudio

 

grannies can do it without stalling, so should you...

I most say although I would never burn out in a s2k I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Made me laugh quite a few times watching those older woman rock those donuts in the S.

That made my year.

 

Doesn't it have something to do with the oil catch can or overflow or something like that? I vaguely remember reading about a similar question somewhere else on the forums...if I remember right, it's an issue that AP1's had with their engine oil levels being sloshed around which causes the engine stall. I think it was a safety thing that was built in by Honda...
