Jason - I know the way you drive, I was just giving you sheet.

A stacking tolerance problem is where a group of parts are each at their maximum tolerance and when put together are over the tolerance for the mechanism as a whole.

 

My clutch wasn't fully depressed, so I took it off Paxil. (Sorry. )

Bottom line: when cdelena tells you that he pushed the damn clutch down to the floor, the damn clutch hit the floor.

 

Honda's saying the engine failures are mostly (but not in every case)caused by after-market racing equipment (turbo's etc), racing stress(auto-crossing, etc.), or driver error (over-reving when down-shifting from 5th to 4th and hitting 2nd instead).

They further say some repairs have been done as goodwill, when warranties could have been voided. They are saying there's nothing the average driver needs to worry about and if something should happen, they will back up their product. This is Honda's show car (as the NSX is Acura's).

My check's here, my car's here, and my plans STILL are to pick it up in morning. I want to beleve it's a great car. Don't we all!

Stopped by the dealer today after work to pick up my Mugen Spec fully roll-caged, dark piss-green Chevy Malibu GT replacement for the s2k. They still haven't found the problem, but they've ruled out that it was NOT the #4 cylinder failure problem I thought it was. They checked the compression ratio and said it was ok. (I don't know what that means so don't flame me) The service manager than asked me whether I raced the car or not b/c my tires were a little chewed up. I told him that I bought a sports car to drive fast, what else? Those guys at Honda are something else, they're just trying to find an excuse to my engine failure that it was driver induced and not their fault. Just to finish up, they have to take out the head tomorrow to inspect and perhaps send it away to be looked at, I have to wait at least 2-4 weeks for them to do some repairs. Looks like I might have a one off case here on this board....I miss my car.

Well, I took the S2000 into the dealer today and got a phone call back. They believe it's the old clutch problem. They will get the part in today and then spend the day dropping my Tranny and as they say "putting a new clutch plate in". I told them to pull the #4 plug for shits and giggles any ways!

Am I the only person who thinks this should have been fixed by the next year???

 

Is X S2000 the same troll as S2000Chris and Tiger?

Jason, what the issue about not being able to depress clutch all the way (sounds like a normal occurrence for you, often)? Can't be good for the tranny! Maybe you should move your seat up a notch or two.

 

the TT only out sells the S2K because they probably classify it as a Beatle cause that
