UK & Ireland S2000 CommunityDiscussions related to the S2000, its ownership and enthusiasm for it in the UK and Ireland. Including FAQs, and technical questions.
I'll get the mods to remove this link and replace it with the new one asap
Here's the UK forum's tech faq. It is a joint effort by many of the UK owners and covers a lot of the questions which are asked on a regular basis, plus a number of very important technical issues which you will probably be unaware of (especially since most of the UK Honda dealers are also unaware of them )
If you are considering buying an S2000 (or you have just become a new owner) I recommend that you read through these FAQs, as you are bound to learn something new and important - I know I did, when I compiled them.
Due to the ever increasing size of the tech faq I've decided to divide it into the following sections.

The running in period for the S2000 is 1000km before the use of VTEC. This means 650 miles before you rev over 6000rpm. It is then recommended that you go up by 1000rpm for every 100 miles. Running in, isn't just the engine so it's important to vary rpms as much as possible and change gears as often as possible. You're bedding in the whole drivetrain/brakes/engine.
Oil usage can be quite high while the engine is running in, so check the oil with every tank of fuel.
Oil
Stay mineral until 6k or first service, run in oil should be 10W30 (preferred) or 10W40 (more readily available and perfectly acceptable). Halfords do 10W40 in an orange bottle MAKE SURE YOU BUY MINERAL. Synth up (if you desire) after that. If any engine work (or early servicing) is done pre 6k, ensure additive molybednum is requested. This is a `run in` additive that assists lubrication.
Ensure regular, REGULAR, checks are made to the oil levels. Each X on the dipstick is approx 100ml so top up accordingly. When checking the dipstick, check both sides, choose the lowest of the two sides and treat this as your current oil level. Always ensure oil levels are checked once oil has drained into the pan. Always ensure car is not on an angle when checking. Keep it horizontal.
Low oil can result in (above the obvious evil engine wear and subsequent seizures) a lack of VTEC engagement. I don`t know this personally, I just know people have complained about vtec issues and low oil has been their problem.
4.8l of oil is needed for a full oil change.
Fuel
The S2000 is designed to run on high octane fuel. This means that you should be filling up with Super Unleaded or Shell Optimax. F20-C2's are not supposed to be run on 95 octane. Whilst this may not destroy your engine, it could be grounds for Honda to refuse a warranty repair, so please check your owners manual. The 02 model is apparently less fussy about fuel, but runs better on higher octane.
Tyres
MY99 - MY03
Standard fit tyres on the S2000 are Bridgestone ES02JZ. Bridgestone developed these tyres specifically for the S2000 and Honda recommend that only these tyres be used on the car.
ES02JZs are not the same as other Bridgestone S02 tyres. If you are fitting any tyre other then the ES02JZ please follow the size guide below
Here's what Bridgestone had to say about it...
[QUOTE][SIZE=1]
Dear Rob,
Thank you for your email.
There are a few differences between the MY99 - MY01 models and the MY02 - MY03. The MY04 has further changes and a slight facelift. Note: The wind deflector became standard from MY01 onwards.
MY02 differences
The following changes were made to the MY02 car
Glass Rear Screen
Cd player with tweeters built into the door
Slightly restyled polished alloys
Chrome rings around the rear lights and chrome front light surrounds
A softer suspension setting which makes the car slightly less "pointy"
Repositioned headlamp washer switch
Some like the suspension changes and others do not, it is probably best to try both cars if you are in the market for a used S2000.
04 Differences
New front and rear bumper design
17" wheels with different Bridgestone tyres
New front and rear lights
Facelifted interior
Some suspension changes which include a slight ride height change and a little softening of the rear end.
Colour coded headlamp washers
Factory fitted alarm
New colours...
Which upgrades should come first is a debatable point, although replacing the front speakers (particularly in the pre-02 model) is strongly recommended, as is the replacement of the stock head unit with a more powerful unit.
speakers
The stock speakers in the S are not the cutting edge (particularly the pre-2002 model set up which does not have the separate tweeters built into the door panels of the 2002 model and onwards). Many owners upgrade the front speakers and head unit and some also install speakers behind the seats.
Rear speakers can be fitted very cheaply with 4.5" or 5.25" units behind the seats. You will need to cut into your plastic panels to do this or you can buy pre-cut rear panels from http://lucidauto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv...ategory_Code=SP There is no point in spending a huge amount on these speakers as they are blocked by the seat. you should also bear in mind that the seat will rub against the speakers if you have the seat fully reclined and all the way back on it's rails. A good DIY guide for fitting the rear speakers can be found here http://www.keedyweb.net/honda-s2000/tech/R...r-speakers.html
Connecting rear speakers to the OEM wiring harness
Originally posted by RickFriend
I recently installed a set of Pioneer rear speakers in a set of homemade s-pods and discovered a great little piece of info. After reading many posts on how to make the HU connection, including soldering the wires to the pins, pushing the wires into the harness and using the LUCID cable on MY00-03, I decided to examine the situation myself. Upon inspection of the radio harness pin configuration I realized that I had seen that style pin before. I am a computer technician and I realized that those pins are used on an ATX power supply for computers. I proceeded to dig up an old burned up power supply and removed four pins from the small connector that plugs into the floppy drive unit. These can be removed using a jeweler's screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver into the small slot on the top of the plug and push the locking tab down and pull the pin out. I clipped the wires leaving enough to splice my speaker wires onto. These pins are a perfect fit for the HU harness. Just bend the locking tab back out and insert into the radio harness. I used the wiring diagram from McGuyver's website and made the connection. Everything is working great without the hassle of the other methods. If you need to make this connection and happen to have an old power supply laying around....give it a try.
Head Units
Alpine head units are a popular choice as Alpine also produce an adapter (the KCE865-B) which enables the driver to continue to use the finger tip audio controls. The adapter can be bought from Halfords or an online retailer such as mcs-direct.co.uk.
Please Note: The KCE865-B adapter only works with UK Alpine Headunits. These headunits have a 3.5mm socket for the adapter to plug in to. If you're buying an Alpine HU from ebay make sure that it has this 3.5mm socket before you buy, US headunits do not have this connection
Removing the side Honda and/or S2000 badges is very easy. All you need is a hairdryer and some waxed dental floss. Heat the badge with the hairdryer for a few minutes and then use the dental floss to "saw" through the adhesive that holds the badge in place. The badge is then easily removed. All you need to do then is remove the excess adhesive from the bodywork. This is best done using some WD40 and some elbow grease!. Polish the area with some wax for a great finish!.
Alternatively: boil a kettle of water, let it cool a little then pour slowly over the offending badges. Leave them until just cool enough to touch and pull gently away from bodywork. This leaves no glue residue behind and takes seconds to do.
If you want instructions on how to remove the front/rear badges then I'd recommend you download instructions from somewhere like Rick's site as this can be a bit more complicated and can also depend on the model year. www.ricks2k.com
Cold Air Intakes & Air Box/Filter Modifications
There are a variety of Cold Air Intakes (CAI) and other air filter modifications for the S2000. Some increase horsepower, some just increase sound. I've included links to all the common CAIs available
PRM horsepower details for your insurance company can be found here
AUS and 4IGS2000 intakes are are no longer available so I haven't included them in here.
Air Box Removal
Removal of the airbox lid gives a lot more noise, accompanied by a slight loss in performance. It's a trade off that a lot of people willingly make. The air intake on the S is badly located over the radiator, and suffers from heat soak problems due to build up of engine heat under the bonnet, particularly when the car is stationary in traffic. Removing the airbox lid just allows a greater volume of the hot air to enter the filter.
The sound is awesome with the lid off, but some find it a little rough and agricultural. Give it a shot... see what you think!
Removing Air Box Cover (No tools required)
Open the bonnet. The air box is the oblong black plastic box which sits in the front centre of the engine bay just behind the radiator. You'll see the lid of the box is held on with about half a dozen or so metal clips around the edges. . Release each clip in turn by inserting your thumb or finger between the clip and the air box, and pulling outwards (away from the box) They just spring loose. The clips are captive where they are so you wont lose any. Chuck the lid in the boot. That's it, off you go and scare every living thing in a one mile radius. Don't forget to close the bonnet!
To replace the lid simply align it in place and spring each clip back into place by pressing it in towards the air box.
Changing the Air Filter (no tools required)
Remove the air box lid as described above. You can see the filter sitting in the air box. It's basically a paper corrugated cone with plastic bits on each end. The wider end of the filter is to the right (as you stand looking at the engine from the front). The rubber intake tube which carries air to the engine is pushed onto a plastic collar at the wide end of the cone and is just a push-on fit. Wriggle the rubber tubing until it comes free of the filter collar. The only thing holding the filter in the box now is a plastic spigot at the other end of the cone (to the left) but you can't see it yet because its underneath, and is a push fit into a hole in the bottom of the air box. Pull up at the cone with a twisting action to release it completely. Vacuum any dust or rubbish out of the inside of the air box.
To fit the new filter, turn it so that the spigot is at the bottom left, and push it firmly home into it's receiving hole in the bottom of the air box. Now refit the rubber hose by wriggling it onto the collar on the right hand side of the filter. Replace the air box lid and spring the retaining clips back into place.
Tyres: Should be run at higher pressures to promote more even wear when used on track - for S02s start at 34psi, maybe increase to 36psi. Note: higher pressures can make the handling more skittish.
Make sure you do at least one slow cool down lap before coming off track to allow the brakes to cool down.
Do not apply the handbrake immediately after a track session as this can warp the disks and damage the pads. Leave in gear instead.
Misc Comments
Please make sure you get the key for the locking wheel nuts if you are purchasing a car. Some alloy wheel fitters have keys to remove the nuts but it can take some time!
Periodically remove, WD40 and refit all wheel nuts to the correct torque settings to avoid future seizures
A strange moaning sound from the rear of the car after a run on a hot day is quite usual. It's just vapour pressure in the fuel tank.
A rattle from the passenger side is often the seatbelt buckle knocking on the door

Technical Service Bulletins
Service Bulletins are issued by Honda to their dealer and service network to advise them of technical issues and resolutions. Most of the service bulletins concern service and maintenance proceedures, test equipment and so forth but some are related to specific vehicle problems and resolutions.
There is also an S2ki.com Commonly Asked Questions thread in the main Library section of the site which is worth a look and another in the general forum
Sounds like a bright idea Neil!
I want to org. the dealer survey by location location location rather than trynig to do ranking. A/ easier to maintain (until some bright spark writes the right sw for user input - wd do it but can't host it) B/ possibly more useable with a non-sort, non-find version - so praps we cd get views on both here? Mind you there is the gods up above meeting deciding what to do taking place imminently.
Neil
I like the new layout.
The new oil info is welcome as I had been scouring the net looking for some definitive advice on this. I still wonder whether a 10W 30 synthetic would be better though.....
