1) The back will come out quick if you try to accelerate too strongly while coming out of turns.

2) Don't shift in corners

3) Watch for the twitch in the rear when shifting in VTEC.

4) Always remember that you are being pushed and not pulled when driving. That concept really helps me.

 

There's a difference between losing the back end and drifting. You can drift in a curve you might lose it if you shift when making a turn or have bad tires or come in hot. Either way snow tires in the winter (blizzacks) taking the turns at a resonable speed cand not shifting mid turn will keep the car on the road. If you start to lose the back end just point the steering wheel in the direction you want to go and the car will catch up (unless your a lunitic) This car is one you have to learn how to drive!

 

experienced driver here who did lose the rear early on...
after a power slide into a curb, i found that my problem was caused by a spring spacer left in my spring (probably combined with a change of asphault to cement roadway)- dont think thats as much of a problem (spring spacers) now as it was back in the "old days".
i can control skids, and loose rears- but had never experienced a power slide (high speed sideways so that no wheel is moving with the ground- all are moving sideways- no traction and no steering. throttle does no good, steering does no good and brakes do no good. you just have to wait until a tire regrips (by trying to get the steering involved) and then try to control the slide with steering and throttle.) i regained control about 20 feet away from the curb with the rear going first- was able to avoid any significant damage... and did get a new spugen exhaust (to replace the stocker) out of the experience!!

 

the tires on the s2000 has a major affect on why the rear tends to slide out....i noticed the difference when the temp drop below 50 degree f.... for those of you who lives in colder climate, i suggest to get some all season performance tires or switch to winter tires when cold....other than that, the s2000 behave just like any typical rear drive car with lsd.....
