I thought you wanted to "flip" the S2K, as in "flip that house".

Bad idea?
hahaha Well if you put on a t1r 70 and a j's header, with a matching lol and you get the parts for free, you might make some cash

here is a pic of an S2000 that went 150ft down the mountain up at the dragon. After seeing this first hand i'm amazed how well it held up
I have seen this picture hundreds of times, how did the driver do?

You know there was a thread on Honda-Tech about how to remove the stock hoops so that you can gangster-lean.... thought the only way he would flip would be rolling off a cliff, and that his aluminum hard top would save him.

I've been thinking about this, and I do believe the at the S2K is a very safe car, even in a rollover, but...

If someone, average member or guest, died in a rollover, would we hear about it?

Would the loved ones post the pictures and story? As someone who is intimately involved in this site, I'm sure my story would be told. But my guess is we see substantially more survivals simply because someone is alive to post it.

So don't let these stories give you a false sense of invincibility. This car can kill you if you do stupid things.

Compared to what? Overall the car isn't that safe, its a convertable with metal coming at your head in the event of an accident, let alone if you flip her. RIP TRAVIS

RIP Travis.



We've seen pictures of many many horrible accidents in which people walked away. The point of my post was, don't take these "walk away" stories as what happens every time. It is dangerous out there. This is for real. Be careful.
