Default A few questions

Hye guys, I don't own an s2000 but I am working on getting one.

First off, What is the stock rear end gear ratio? Is there a write up anywhere on installing new diff gears?

What are the transmission ratios?

Stock rear tire size in inches?

Where can I get a very detailed manual on the vehicle for motor wiring and such, like for putting a new engine in, I would need a good wiring diagram and all that.

I think that's it, if I missed anything I'll be sure to add it in a bit

Thanks guys.

You can find answers to those all over these forums.

But what even bugs me more is that you can find them on honda.com.

The "detailed manual" you're looking for is the Helms manual. Do a google search on that too.

You should be able to find every single thing with the info I just gave you.

I hope people will be responsible and not give you these answers, further encouraging this type of extreme lazy behavior.

If I got the diff all pulled out and everything, do you guys have any idea what a dealer or shop would charge to install the gears? in USD please. I'm sure the hard part would be finding a dealer that has experiance in that area.

www.hardtopguy.com

Offers gears pre installed in a s2000 diff. You pay a core charge and they ship it to you. You send them back your diff and they refund the core.

Thanks man. reason I was asking for price to install diff gears is because I may be getting a car that already has aftermarket gears with it, just not installed.

I think in XVipers How To it said it's a 4 hour job so what ever your Honda dealer charges per hour times 4. With after market gears it's worse on your diff so you may want to look at Hard Top Guys reinforced diff and see if you can send them your gears and have it all put together nice and simple for you. He is a member on the board, if you go to the "Group Buy" section you'll have no problem finding him. If I remember correctly his avatar is a clown.
