Pedestrian safety, you have to be kidding me , frankly I wouldn't be buying a car if it takes that as a major influencing factor

 

No, the new 2004 S will be a 3 Cylinder that will have 275 hp and 75 lbs of torque and rev up to 18,000 rpm. 0-60 in 5.1 sec. It will come in two colors, white and red and have no options.

 

Man I would love to purchase an S360 or S600.. anyone know how much these go for when someone is selling them?

 

Try tradeonline.com in their collector car search. I looked a few months ago and found a nice one for $19,000.

Do your research as known transmission issues are $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to fix. There is a guy in Germany that everyone claims to be the only guy to let work on the transmissions.

Chain drive...how cool!

Good luck.

 

new engine? time to save up for an engine swap

Any links somewhere to these European safety specs, dlg?

 

Perhaps this is where the Mugen 2200 stroker kit ended up-- at Honda. Thoughts?

Mugen has done outsourced work before for Honda - think NSX.

re: ped. safety

Then you can't buy a Honda. Almost all the current models have this in mind. The new CR-V is an excellent example.

yeah, the ped. safety is gov't mandate, right? this isn't optional stuff, Former...

(it does seem silly to me, but i don't live in a crowded city)

 

I would particularly like to see th body changed to allow for a better designed retracted convertible storage. Something like the Boxster's no-boot hide-way top (face down, not up storage).

Just my $0.02
