Ok, I've been searching the forum (this whole site actually) for about 4 days now and can't find the answers to these questions so I guess I'll just put them all in one post. Once they're all answered, I guess a mod can lock or delete the thread.

1. I'm a huge fan of Blue cars (I own an 01 Voltage Blue Integra) but I hate blue interiors. Can you get the S2k in Suzuka Blue without the blue interior? It's hideous (to me).

2. I could've swore I read somewhere that the S2k comes stock with HID headlights, is this correct?

3. What kind of 1/4 mile times do you get from a stock S2k? I've seen a lot of dyno sheets but no run times.

4. With the OEM LSD, do you have much of an issue with traction control in corners? I'd like to build an S2k to handle Auto-X yet be a daily driver. I'd really only run a few times a summer in Auto-X.

5. Is the S2k easy to get into the high 12's? I know you can get some good numbers out of a supercharger, but will it put you into the 12's? I think that'd be fast enough for me... to start with haha I know honda builds great motors with a lot of potential, but I don't know jack about the F20.

6. I've seen some S2k's get listed as 5spd's but I thought they were all 6spd?

I think that's all I can come up with as of now. I appreciate all the help.

1. suzuka blue comes from the dealer with only the blue interior.

2. yes it comes with stock Xenon HID projector headlights

3. 13.66 is the best I personally heard about. but I heard some magazines like road and track and car and driver have stock times like in the high 13's.

4. are you kidding the s2000 handles great on cornering! as for a daily driver, you should do a search for this, but for me I commute daily with my s2000 to college and although its a rough ride, I just can't wait to get out of class and back in the car (alot of fun factor)!

5. no idea, as my s2000 is still mostly stock.

6. all s2000's come in only one trim, 6 speed manual transmission.

sorry couldnt answer all

3) High 13's

4) Nope...Im the same as you, daily driver, and a few autox's per summer

5) Not without a lot of money to build motor, drivetrain, etc....

6) All 6 Speed

Hope this helps (esp #5)

And what about GPW, does it come with any other color than red interior? I don't think I'd want to go through an entire interior change...

So you say it'd take a lot of money to get it in the 12's, but with a supercharger and other needed upgrades (suspension, fuel, exhaust, tuning etc etc), how deep could you get it?

I have a stupid newb question id like to interject...

I have the OEM keyless entry, is there anyway to make the horn chirp when to doors lock/unlock?

AFAIK, the GPW only comes with a Tan interior or an all Red interior on MY00 models.

Now with your black interiors, does it get pretty hot in the summer? Do you ever wish you didn't have leather interior?

Just buy the car, you'll forget all about the minor details. You can't explain it, it's only something you'll understand as an owner.

When locking, hit the lock button a second time to get the horn to beep. When unlocking, you can't make the horn toot.
