Nope.

But I did hear that S2000online is going to become a pay site. Yeah, and if you're sneaky enough, you can look at the source codes in the Web page text to discover that the funds are all to be sent via personal check to some guy in New Hampshire...

...the "Buy Your Moderator a S2000 Fund."



Just joking. Uhm.... obviously.

I guess that explains the VTEC clinic that opened up down the street from me. There, VTEC addicts can rent a Civic Si for a few weeks if for some reason they have to get rid of their S2000. Just bring a 'script from the Doc.

Sorry in advance for my stupidity, but what exactly is vtecing???

I gather that it is related to going fast and having fun...but how do you define it? Is it going more than 5500 RPMs?

well VTEC is a special little feature almost all honda engines have, (crap i think im gonna screw this up) when the engine gets into the higher rpm's the VTEC silenoid activates and changes the valve timing to get the most out of the car, if you have a SI, Integra, S2000, NSX, ect. ect. you can tell when it kickes in by the sudden engine sound increase and the extra HP + torqe u feel. well i dont think i screwed that up too much

Default VTEC stops too SOON!

Must be great to experience vtec for the first time in an S2000. All I can think of when I hit vtec in the Lude is that its over in this gear at 7200RPM!

VTEC is great, especially when you hit VTEC and pull on a car your racing!

wait a sec, ur telling me that this is the only honda that likes its restricted intake box? it doesnt like to suck down as much air as it can? accually i felt a slight hp gain from taking the top of the box off and letting the engine suck as much air as it wanted

VTEC(ing) = we are definitely going to need support for this habit. (One I don't want to break)
