I redlined 3 miles from the dealership just after taking delivery and have been giving it hell since. Mine runs just fine. Of course only time will tell if I did any damage.

 

IS200, Kibro, and DJHohum,
You can add one more Filipino to that list, I'm picking up my S in three weeks.

[B]Hey DJHohum... I too have an S2K and a true blue Filipino in blood.

 

Hey DJHohum, your not the only young filipino guy with an S2000 named Mike. I don't live too far from you, I live in Walnut, between West Covina and Pomona!

 

Hey DJHohum,

Looks like you can add yet another Filipino S2K owner to your list. I'm up in the Sacto area.

 

OK, joe_s2k is really a Asian Mexican... hehehehe. i.e. a Mexican that likes Asian (women & cars)... isn't that right joe... hehehe.

Hey all, Let's get a list of Filipino owners of S2000 on this board. Maybe we can hook up with everyone for Mugen parts... sold back in the Phils. I try to go home every year. Well, this is just an idea.

Later,

Hey guys - some of the posts here have me freaking out.

I have about 450 miles on my new S2K and for the most part I drive it really mildly - but I have redlined MORE than just once or twice - how about ten or twenty times. and I have taken the car upto 120mph.

Come on please somebody tell me that I havent screwed up my baby!!

I thought the break in period was a left over of older times and that all new engines are "pre-broken" in from factory.

Please guys - I need to hear somebody tell me that I havent screwed up me new vehicle.

I am going crazy here!

 

Dude, you screwed up BIG TIME!! Now, you have to trade your S2000 in for another one. Otherwise, this one is going to break your back in maintenance cost later on... NOT!!!! Don't worry man, it is a Honda, it's going to run itself to the ground dude... just keep it easy from now until 1K mi. You have to be punished hehehe... you can't have your cake and eat it too, at least not in the 1st 600 mi. Go sit in the corner for the next 550 miles. hehehehe.

But then again, this could be a good excuse two years from now to buy a new car... hmmmmm, now you got me thinking.
