S2000's are ofcourse potential victims to rain fall due to their nature. Rear wheel drive, dry weather performance tires, horsepower spike at around 6k rpm, etc... One thing that I have learned, (and sometimes the hard way) about Hondas with Vtec is when it's a downpour outside, stay out of Vtec. I find otherwise that the car still had ample traction in straight line accelration, and braking. Now ofcourse that doesn't mean rompping through the gears, and slamming on the brakes kind of traction, but certainly enough to pull ahead of most of the crowd at a stop light. What I have noticed the S2000 needs very special care with during rain is turns. Very low gas if any should be used. Make slight adjustments according to your mods and there shouldn't be any reason why you should be a reason why all other S2K's became that much more rare to own... For me the S2K is a daily driver, for those of you who have the luxury of bringing out the SUV during inclimate weather, more power to you, but for those of you that have to use you S2000 more often than not, please take caution... Have a good one!

42 degrees? That's about 8 or 9 degrees Celcius I think - a positive heat wave in comparison to our temperatures currently.
Today in London - 3degrees Celcius and overnight below freezing) and we still put the roof down (occasionally
)
