Imagine this scenario: Honda decides to reward the loyalty of its S2OOO owners with a contest. They search through all registered S2K's and randomly select one owner from each country that the car was sold in. For the winners, they will build the factory S of your dreams, using any parts that at were used in production at any time during the 10 year run, essentially you can create an AP1, an AP2, a CR, or a hybrid - anything goes. Has to be an OEM color (including Imola Orange, Moonrock, etc), can have any interior pieces ever available, any seats/seat colors, any OEM wheels , any factory accessories. You get the point.

Your phone rings, its Honda ... you were just selected as the winner for your country. The man himself who designed the S is on the other line and he asks "So, what can we build for you?"

What's your answer??

And to make things even more interesting I after you spec YOUR perfect S2OOO he informs you that they will be having a party honoring the winners, comparing each of their choices - and to spice things up they will cover ANY modifications you choose, and all of it will still be covered under warranty.

Again I ask you - what's your answer??

* I hope some Honda execs read this!! *

 

AP2 body and looks, CR suspension Ap1 engine AP2 trans, comptech SC, '05 style shift knob, black int, laguna blue paint. AP2 v2 wheels


that should about do it.

 

MY00 (lightest) with MY03 ECU (I assume that's why MY03 dyno's higher)
GPW
Gut the top
CR tonneau cover and oem hard top.
CR interior
CR springs/shocks
CR front sway (keep MY00 rear)
CR chasis reenforcement
AP2 front bumper
AP2 rear bumper
CR front lip
CR wing
CR weight reduction (sound deadening, spare tire, a/c and radio)
JDM OEM BBS wheels, black lugs
clear turn signals
CR interior
CR exhaust

 

AP1 body, CR Suspension, CR interior, Moonrock, CR wheels, JDM AP1 Lights, JDM/EDM AP2 Cluster (w/9k), AP1 engine and flywheel and lack of CDV, AP2 trans, 00-01 rear sway bar, 06+ stereo (for the speaker placement), 06+ ecu (so I can use flashpro and thus keep the 9k redline and then tune everything).

 

Hmmm.

AP2 body with F20 engine, Ap2 trans, ap2 lights, AP1/2 red/black seats and interior. AP2 interior, Moonrock paint, Cr suspension, AP2 lip and AP1 rear spoiler. Inline pro or other similar diff to handle anything you throw at it, vortech or SOS or ct supercharger and well the least would go on forever really lol.

 

Limited to OEM Honda S2000 bits only, I assume? No NSX engine swap?

Start with a Berlina Black CR then modify as below:
Hondata reflash
AP1 flywheel
AP2 transmission with AP1 secondary reduction gear
AP1 clutch slave cylinder
Red/black AP1 interior

 

Apex Blue Pearl paint or Keep my Laguna Blue Pearl(2 of my favorite colors on an S)
Red/Black combo interior w/ '06-'07 seats
Ap2 body style(bumpers, headlights & tail lights)
Ap2 front lip & C/R wing
C/R Tire combo & sizes
C/R sway bars
Ap2v1 wheels for the street
BBS 16" 6 spoke wheels for the track(Lighter than the 5 spoke & super rare)
MY08+ Suspension(Would throw on the same coilovers I have right now)
Ap1 transmission & Ap1 flywheel w/ ap2 tranny internals(Carbon synchros)
Ap1 motor(JDM spec w/ thinner head gasket and more aggressive ecu tune)
Ap1 clutch slave cylinder
06+ DBW ECU w/ Flashpro
'08-'09 9k gauge Cluster(where everything flows in one arc)

I'm not gonna go into boost applications because Honda never made an application for the S. The closest was the Comptech/Vortech kits that the dealerships installed and warrantied. Would be nice to have about 350-400whp. Love the blower sound from the Comptech/Vortech Kits. Kraftwerks is a little too quiet for me. Want to hear that supercharger whine!!!

 

I am with you on that one!
