As I may need a set of pads towards the end of next month!! Service in September also!

Seriously though, did your enquiries get anywhere?

Paul,
I did not go ahead with my order 2 months ago.

But I am seriously thinking about placing a big order.

My car is waiting for the revised clutch kit from honda.

The dealer said the friction plate cost

Ricardo - Is the new clutch supposed to stop the 3-4k transmission vibration? I know that quite a few people have had it 'fixed' already, but no-one seemed that impressed with the improvment, hence I've not bothered yet.

Also, if you end up getting an order for brake pads, will they be the standard Honda ones or something a bit more resilient for track use? If the latter, I'm defintely interested.

Honda have change the clutch to fixed the 3-4K rattle. The car now has transmission noise. The fix to this problem is the latest spec friction plate that cost a bomb!

Who is going to spend this sort of cash every 2 years?

It's certainly worth thinking about getting brake pads imported - on www.handa-accessories.com/s2000.html they've got a full set of stock pads for $72.61 versus a US RRP of $100.85.

I've just had the car back from the dealers having had a new set of brake pads (along with some warranty work they did to skim the discs etc), and the parts along came to
