Hi, im new to all the S2000 talk as I have never owned one or a Honda. At the moment I drive a Modified Citroen Saxo VTR in the UK. I am thinking of selling the saxo in the future and in the mean time saving in turn to buy an S2000 after. I'd be grateful if anyone can answer all the questions I have about the S2000, cheers
I really like the Grand prix white colour but I dont think thats available in the UK? Also did they make the White ones between 2000-2001 as the ones I will be looking at will be around that age! I have seen pics of the white S2000's and they have red leather seats, these look fantastic but i was wondering if you can get the white ones with black leather seats in? - This is because I would like to have the black leather buckets then with a white leather centre on the seats and the door cards to match the white exterior!
I know the engine is pushing serious power for a 2.0 VTEC but what else is there to boost the power and what sort of BHP can you take the S2000's up to? My saxo only revs to about 6200k and does 60 in 2nd, 85-90 in 3rd etc so what speeds can the S2000 get up to in each gear?
I have been browsing the picture gallery's and like the look of some of the rims that people have I was thinking about putting 19's on but as i've experianced with my saxo, putting bigger rims on buggers the handling and acceleration Does putting big rims like 19's on the S2000 totally ruin the handling and make the accleration a lot more sluggish? If so would you recommend putting 18's on instead?
At the moment my saxo is lowered loads! Its 60mm at the front and 100mm at the rear on 17's Can you lower the S2000 and if so how much by? - I have heard from people I know with CTR's that the standard height is the best to run them at anyway as they are balanced so well so maybe not lowering the S2000 is better?

Thanks to anyone who can hopefully clear up a few of my questions...

 

That's a lot of questions with quite a bit of debate on all fronts. You might be better served by searching for each of the questions individually and seeing all the posts people have made on the various subjects.

 

How do I do that matey?! That was my first post Surely someone must want to have a go at answering some of them

 

I am sure people will be able to answer your questions. However, there is a lot of "Coke" vs. "Pepsi" type conversation that you would only find in a thread dedicated to that topic.

As to how to search: There is a seach field in the upper right of your screen. Put some key phrases about the topics you are interested in. Like: lowering springs or color choices uk

Here are a couple on springs:

Thanks for clearing some of those questions up mate

 

I forgot to mention - What sort of power will adding a supercharger or turebo give and are they reliable and available ink the UK?

A Supercharger usually gives you ~280-290 hp at the wheels. A turbo varies much more.
