Im sure that may of you S2k owners are aware of the cornicopia of tuning products from the JDM, and I was reading an article from J's Racing that said the S2k has a driveshaft problem due to an excess amount of space between the yoke and shaft itself. This problem can quickly destroy your cars driveshaft and eventually your transmisson. Thus, J's Racing sells a spacer kit to remedy this issue.
-Is there any validity to this driveshaft problem?
-Is this a problem that you have experienced?
Thanks

The seats are also quite low which would prevent many from seeing over the steering wheel. To prevent this potential disaster, I have invented an upgrade to the stock seats which I will call "S2000 pillow". I am selling these for the one time only low price of $500.

If this were truly the case, I think Honda would be fixing it with a TSB. But all it takes is for someone to scare you enough before money starts disappearing from your pockets.

I think the S2000 pillow might throw off the calibration of the butt dyno.

While you are at it, why not offer wheel, pedal,shifter, radio, and head spacers?

It's not a problem for stock cars.
