RR modified airbox with resonator bypass, K&N E-2435

RR;

Absolutely no flame intended, but have you had a change of mind about using a non OEM air filter?

Regards,
BD

PS. nice piece btw

 

Sometimes I wonder if I am doing the right thing, saving day after day for one of these machines. Then I read something like this and any doubt is replaced with conviction.

RR, thank-you for the inspiration.
Honda, thank-you for building this car.

 

i have to agree road rage, the weather here today was absolutely perfect.

 

nice! and drive safely!

yep, I'm curious too. previously I had thought you found the OEM filter to be superior to the offerings of K&N. is the filtration ability of the E-2435 up to snuff?

too bad an early oil analysis will probably show high silicon count anyway (like mine did) due to sand in the casting process. would be interested in seeing your oil analysis after approx. 10K miles if you're still using this filter.

great write up, btw. nice reminder of what a fantastic little roadster we are all so lucky to own.

 

Excellent write-up. I'm nearing 5k on the clock, and it seems to be getting better everyday.

No. You have to read what I posted in the mod thread - I am keeping a very watchful eye on the silicon levels, and may only use the K&N for competition.

This is my first S2000.

I have other rides - this is not a daily driver - that is indicated in my signature.

 

RR, those were great words for a great car.

But it only makes things worse to me... My S will come only in mid-August... This wait is driving me nuts

 

Be strong, and enjoy the beauty of your country, and imagine driving your S2000 on those scenic, narrow roads! I recall driving a VW Beetle down to my parents' home in the Algarve (Albufeira), and the VW was considered a large car! I also recall how lovely the Portuguese people are, and the rudest people were the tourists. In the early evening, i would take a few $'s and go to meet the brightly painted little fishing boats, often laden with magnificent fresh shrimp, which I could buy a pound for $1, then off for a bottle of rose wine for another $1, then perhaps another $1 for butter, scallions, garlic, etc. Then, a glass of the wine, another glass as the shrimp simmered in the pan, and a few more as I enjoyed a most delicious little feast on a student's budget, while overlooking a breathtaking view: the bluest blue of the water, the impossibly white little houses that stepped down to the beach from the mountainside, and the occasional magical little laugh of a Portuguese beauty off somewhere just out of sight, perhaps with ebony hair and dark eyes flashing with all the mystery and the promise of Mediterranean women, their perfume mixing with the warm air and constant breezes to produce an atmosphere of languor and energy - ahh, sweet summer's sweat.

Like all things in life, including those great Portuguese port wines, great things take time.

I hope this helps, and thanks to everybody for the supportive words - sometimes I wonder if there is an audience for them, and although I often see the "same hands" over and over, they are good hands, and occasionally a new convert enters the club. Cool!
