Again, this happens during quick shifts. Now that some of you guys mentioned about the taking the foot off the clutch all the way, I think was driving without taking the foot ALL the way before. On my Civic I didn't need to take my feet off all the way even with the Exedy clutch on there.

Thanks a bunch for the great inputs guys! Great help!

I would just remove the CDV. There are instruction on this site on how to do this.
It looks pretty easy to do.

1. Remove CDV.
2. Always turn off VSA.

VSA is like flying a fighter jet with no missles. I will question the sexual orientation of people who use VSA.

[QUOTE=d0nkeyxPunch,Dec 13 2006, 09:01 AM] 1) Every time I wash my car or when it rains, I see some water dripping down from the inside from both passenger and driver side.

I totally get that! First time I noticed this was with a touch-free high pressure wash (obvious). This time, yesterday, it rained extremely hard while on the freeway. I felt a light sprinkle on my arm twice. Today when I got into my car, water totally dripped down. I think it's from the top soaking up the water and finally having somewhere to release it. I'm hoping it's that. I really hope I don't have a 6 month old leaky baby.

If it's any comfort, i can now drive aggresively and not trigger the delay valve.

1. I have an 07 and i noticed the same thing with the water dripping in from the seal at the top.

2. I have yet to experience this.

3. In this article: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=445844 it explains the VSA cluth delay that people falsely assume is clutch slip; maybe this is your problem.

I to have an 06' and have had this bogging problem occur, however I am certain it has nothing to do with the VSA or the CDV and here are my reasons.

While shopping around for my s2000 I was looking at several used s2000's, there was a 2004 s2000 I drove in particular which bogged just the same as described, I attributed it at the time as some problem with the engine controls being it was used and all. I finally broke down and bought a new s2000 and I noticed it also bogged on acceleration. It hasn't happened enough for me to identify the condtions which stimulate the bogging. The point is the 2004 model did not have VSA and still suffered from the bogging.

As for the CDV, In the few instances which this bogging has occured to me, the engine & vehicle speed dipped and there was a clear deceleration felt. The clutch was fully engaged.

I think you can adjust your latch's to stop the leaks. I don't know whats involved but probably pretty easy.
Since you have an '07 ,let the dealer do it (if you trust them).
