Default Jiggly Ride, Sensitive Throttle

I have just bought a 2 year old car. My only complaints are the unecessarily jiggly ride at low speeds (even my VX220 rode better) and the overly sensitive throttle, which on initial application is hard to operate smoothly.

Any fixes - dampers, software, throttle spring change?

Your "problems" are due to a very nicely tuned SPORTS suspension and excellent throttle response. I hear Honda Accords don't have these "problems".

Your throttle cable most likely needs to be adjusted (takes about 45 sec).

As for the suspension--you should be able to sell your S2000 and purchase 2 Buicks, a Pontiac and an Alero that will give you the nice marshmallowy ride you're looking for.

I want the Vauxhall VX220 turbo.. That's one bad car... i would definitely take that over my s2k anyday... but GM seems to think that North American customers wouldn't want that car....

as far as the ride. alignment does wonders on how the
car rebounds after a 'dip' in the road. helps when all the wheels
are pointing in the direction you want to go.

cant help you with the sensitive throttle, there is a thread
on how to adjust throttle cable. good luck
