Hi everyone, I have just bought an 2001 S2000 and wonder where I should pay attention when driving. (I lived in Hong Kong, so the car Spec could be a bit different.)

Before I bought this car, I used to drive a Lexus IS200, which was also a rear wheel drive, how different would it be compared with the S2000? (if anyone had similar experience.)

FYI, my ex IS200 is installed with a TRD 1.5way LSD, with suspension setting such that the car is neutral to oversteer most of the time. I have heard that S2000 is a very tail happy car, and tend to "snap" oversteer upon reaching the limit. Is it true? Should I soften the rear antiroll bar and input more negative camber to compansate?

Also, I am quite sure the stock S2000 comes with a (torsen?) LSD, how does it perform compared to a tradition clutch type power lock?

Many thx.

(Just read you offical colour thread....... you guys have beautiful cars. )

 

Be very careful !!
It can bite you bad.

 

Don't drive fast on wet/slick roads. you'll end up in a ditch.

 

Do not vtec in the middle of a corner!

 

don't let off the gas or hit the brakes during a turn or you'll be in a tree or ditch so fast your S2k career will be over.. be smooth and fast!

 

Drive it like u just stole it! Have funnnn!

 

Make sure that your tires are warmed up before you drive with passion.

 

check ur oil... it likes to burn up

 

OK could be a newb question but, does the oil levels in the car burn down even if you dont drive it hard all the time?

 

Don't vtec in the rain.
