Ah, Quitcher bitchin....

The S is the best sports car for the money, a blast to drive. Add some fold-able cup holders, enjoy the wind in your hair, revel in the sound of the high revving engine, leave the lousy radio off and enjoy the pure sound of the car and the road. A taller wind screen is available, which should block turbulence at higher speed with the top down and you can get it custom laser engraved.

I've traveled from Phoenix to Los Angeles and back with my girlfriend and she said it was quite comfortable. Just stop every 2 or 3 hours and stretch if you don't feel comfortable. You'll have to gas up anyway, before you get that far.

The S doesn't piss me off, although the reason I got T-boned was probably because I didn't see the stop light due to the windshield top bar and the low sitting position. That's not the car's fault. The driver is always responsible. I love my S2000 and can't ever see getting rid of it.

 

x100143 for 2nd gear

and that's it! cant think of anything else i get mad about

 

The car looks too damn good to be worth so little.


I get the occasional.. "DAMNNNNNNN YOU MUST BE BALLLLA." And I say "I'm not rich, a high school graduate can afford a 12,000 dollar car."

 

^^^ I can give you countless of link to others thread im a member of...

they are like wow how much you paid for that thing.. im like.... I just paid 10,000 for it... they are like oh you be balling... i just *FACEPARM* and keep going..

^^^ im 6' and still cant reach the ATM sometimes... I just get out of the car and thats it.. I look like an idiot trying to reach the atm...

 

ATM's and drive-thru's are funny sometimes. That is annoying to have to basically get out to punch your pin.

My starter grind on a cold start makes me angry, especially after I tried to grease it to no avail.

The biggest thing for me is the difficulty/complexity to get it on jack stands. I have one low profile jack and one standard floor jack. I have to put the LP jack on the bead seam, jack it up one inch to slide the standard jack under the front side jack point then jack that up four inches. Then place two 2x4's on the LP jack under the front subframe to get it high enough for two jack stands in the front. UGH!!!

 

Go to Home depot and build yourself some ramps bro. thats what i did.

 

Don't like how coarse the engine sounds at a steady high rpm.

 

1. The afterthought of a cup holder. Make shifting very abnormal feeling.

2. 12 Volt accessory outlet behind the center console(Also clearly an afterthought). When ever I need to charge my phone I need to take it off of my Modifry Bracket otherwise the cord gets in the wayof shifting again.

 

Guys,

Some of the things mentioned in this thread are easy to fix:

Get a cigarette lighter extender with three sockets and use the passenger's side net to store it.

Now you have three sockets and possibly a USB charger if your extender came with it.

Use some soundproofing coating like QuietCar. Works really well and the ride is relatively quiet at 65 mph with the top down.

Use Amsoil Synchromesh as MTF. Makes for a buttery feel shift.

Also make sure you properly adjust the clutch rod to get rid of the 2nd/3rd gear notchiness.

The gearbox used to be really notchy when shifting into 3rd gear and it used to drive me nuts. The two things above fixed it and now I love it.

Get a taller wind deflector.

Enjoy your S !!!

It's an awesome car with an incredible look and feel.

 

1)Worrying about theft everywhere I go
2)Rear plastic window fogging up now that its winter
3)How easy it is to scratch/dent the car
4)the stock system sucks ass (just upgraded the speakers and deck this week though so not really an issue but just wanted to add it)
5)How I can only fit children size drinks in the cup holder without getting in the way of me shifting
6)Everything that I want is so damn expensive
