I'm not there yet ...But after spending time reading the 200k thread I'm sure one day I will be, as will many others. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for the people at "Honda's Takanezawa plant" for manufacturing one of the best cars in history

We have several S2KI members with over 300,000 miles now. That's a true testament to how well this car is built. As of March, 2014 I am at 304,000 miles and still running strong. Here is the current known list of S2000 owners with over 300,000 miles:
Slalom44 (me)

If you have over 300,000 miles on your S2000 please post here and I will add you to the list.

A great testament to the durability of the design and to your diligent maintenance.

I love my S2000 but I don't know hour many hours I could spend in it.

At an average speed of 60 mph that's 30 weeks of non stop driving!

I'm assuming this is with the original engines. Can you list of the major parts you've had to replace up till now?

^ Thanks.

Yes, original engine. Other than a valve adjustment, new plugs, PCV valve and belts, I haven't touched the engine. The only major repairs were replacing the front wheel bearings a few thousand miles ago.

I'm still on the original clutch, starter, alternator and AP1 retainers. Since I have a hardtop on almost all the time the ragtop is still in good shape.

The only mod I have is a Dual Remote Bypass oil filter and an electric prelube pump. This allows me to significantly extend my oil change intervals and (IMO) allow my engine to last longer.

Would be interesting to see if you had dyno results at say 100k 200k and 300k.

Out of curiosity have you done a compression test lately?

Certainly eases my worry as I hit 111k this afternoon on my 07.

I had a dyno done at 164k miles and it put down 204.2whp with HKS single and 70mm test pipe. Aldo did a compression test at 191k miles and the numbers were 225-235 all 4 cylinders.
