This one?
Btw.. rippin' it up at the track = being legit?
That's all it takes to get
Is that the same as saying: "I drive the car Hard.. y'now"?
As far as I can see, re-reading my first post in this thread: I was playing the ball.
Still am.

Keep it civil guys, As far as I can tell both Billman & Jordan have contributed hands on technical service to the community here in the north east. As far as the capt. I've only seen words posted with lots of sarcasim. perhaps he is of value to S2000 owners in the Netherlands. But no one has posted up any reviews of his service or work.

@Spitfire I'm not going to quote any of your ridiculous posts. I think on occasion you do contribute some good information to this community, and you are reasonably educated. But you're losing with with bulls*** comments.
If you were in any almost ANY engineering field, you would know what we're up against here. You have Honda making a really great car for a target market. They can, and are required to for a lot of components, engineer the crap out of their vehicles to protect its consumers from dangerous premature failures, and also to maintain its upstanding reputation. When it comes to discoveries of poor components over the years by the manufacturer or the community, often they are recognized by the manufacturer and recalled. Sometimes they are NOT.
Now I want you to think about the transition of the consumer market to the Honda reliability, maintenance, safety, etc. engineering department when it comes to ANY recall. It's QUITE a challenge for these manufacturers because of the idiocy of their local dealership technician staff. It's pretty well known that the "master technician" position is widely held by completely incompetent and complacent employees. Not to knock them or their profession, there are also several notable good ones. It just is what it is. Think about the transition of that department to Honda engineering. Frightening in my opinion.
Then we have people such as Billman250 and Jordanskartel. Not only do these two members have MANY, MANY motors driving around that are generally significantly healthier than their dealership counterparts, these are guys that enjoy learning, pursuing excellence, and are morally and ethically sound when it comes to vehicle maintenance and repairs. They have a tremendous amount of experience over any Honda technician, master or otherwise. And above that, they are true problem solvers, and are genuinely interested in identifying root cause for short-run and long-run issues.
THEY DO NOT HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to run expensive R&D to have data and specs sheets showing how their improved solutions (over OEM or other aftermarket manufacturers) statistically improve the premature failure rate trend. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PAYBACK in pursuing any component in this vehicle for them in doing that; and I'm pretty sure there never will be. They build their data off of many cars that they've personally worked on and distribute that information for face value; just as Jordan did in post #1, and I thank him for that.
