2003 Honda S2000 7,389 Miles Black With Vortech Supercharger on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
|
This 2003
two owner S2000 is in fantastic condition and is complimented by great
performance. The $6,290(plus installation) Vortech Supercharger increases the horsepower “by
49%” to give you “358” as stated by Vortech on its webpage. The body is a 9.5/10 and the interior is a
9.9/10 as you might expect from mostly a one owner car with only 7,389 miles as
shown on the odometer and documented in the clean Carfax. I bought it last September and have put about
500 miles on it. As you can see the underside is as unbelievably clean as the
topside. When have you last seen a car’s underside this clean? Obviously it has
not been driven in bad weather. The
aftermarket exhaust is by MW and there is a MW badge on the trunk. I had a pre-purchase inspection performed by
a Honda dealer before I bought it passed
with flying colors. Compression in each
of three cylinders was 220# and in the
fourth was 230#. The wheels are all
scratch and curb rash free and are as new and the one pictured is representative
of the other ones. Tires are original and the fronts have 7/10” and the rear 4/10”. Due to their age 4 brand new tires, rated
better than the competitor tires in a Tire Rack comparative test, are included
with the sale as well as a nice car cover.
There is an aftermarket amp in the trunk. The top with the heated rear glass window is
very nice. There are no tears in the
seats or scrapes and the original mats are nice. The 9000 rpm redline takes some getting used
to as your natural inclination is to want to shift at about 6500 as most cars
require. The sound is fantastic. The
V-tech cam lets you know around 7200 RPM that it has arrived. The next year
S2000 lowered the rev limit, a shame.
Handling is superb. I have had 6
different Porsches on the race track at Mid Ohio including a Boxster S and I can
say without qualification that this car handles very well. I have not tracked this car. If you can find the Mid Ohio Track Video
showing an instructor in one you will see how well they handle. So good was this year and S200 that Car and
Driver picked it in a comparison test over a Borsche Boxster, Z4 BMW, a 270Z
and an Audi TT. It shows no paint work
and the clean Carfax shows no accident history. The AC blows cold..The stock
items removed for the Vortech installation are included with the car. I had the local Honda Dealer change the oil,
brake fluid and anti-freeze right after I got it last fall. I have the record of this fluid change as
well as the pre-purchase inspection invoice.
Check out the completed listings and you will see that one with a few
thousand less miles just sold for $23,000 and because it was for the latter
series it is not as desirable in my opinion. And more importantly, it is missing the Vortech
fun factor costing over $7500, counting installation. I have purchased several Porsches and Audi’s from Ebay or Autotrader without seeing them and
this is the best car purchased on line in terms of condition. I will not entertain bids or offers from
people with no ebay rating. |

2014 Honda Odyssey set to clean up in NY with world's first in-car vacuum
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Much of the minivan segment's volume has been sucked up by the industry's ever-increasing appetite for crossovers, but a few major players are hanging in there, eager to serve as beasts of burden for America's families. Chief among those players is Honda, which is showing its revamped 2014 Odyssey at this week's New York Auto Show with a potential game-changing feature - an in-car vacuum.
Co-developed with Shop-Vac, the HondaVAC system will come standard on the range-topping Touring Elite model. The system includes a replaceable filter and canister bag, along with a range of attachments located in the cargo hold. Honda says this first-ever feature includes a hose that is long enough to clean the entire interior. Better still, the vacuum will run for up to eight minutes after the vehicle is turned off, so you can get every last Cheerio out of the seat cushions, and it never needs plugging in or recharging, as it runs off of the vehicle's electrical system.
In other news, the 2014 Odyssey gets a new aluminum hood and fenders to pair with its revamped grille and lower fascia. Headlamps get a more sinister look thanks to darker surrounds, and there are new LED taillamps out back, as well as revamped side mirrors on the doors. Underneath the skin, Honda says the 2014 Odyssey has received structural changes to help it ace the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety's new small-overlap frontal crash test, and it's also added active safety features like lane departure warning and forward collision warning to the optional features list.
Glickenhaus's SCG 003 to pack twin-turbo Honda V6?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has made (or commissioned) two vehicles to date - the P4/5 and the P4/5 Competizione - and is now hard at work on its third. The first was based on the Ferrari Enzo and the second on a Ferrari F430, but the third is being developed independently from the ground up. The question, then, is what engine will it use?
Well now we may have our answer as Jalopnik reports that the SCG 003 (as it's known at the moment) will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 sourced from Honda, fitted with twin turbochargers and producing in excess of 500 horsepower.
Honda's J35Y engine produces 278 horsepower in the Accord, 290 hp in the Acura MDX and 310 hp in the RLX. It also forms the basis for the HR35TT racing engine which Honda Performance Development puts in its Daytona Prototype, so if the rumors turn out to be true, chances are that's probably the engine in question - with the possible addition of a hybrid electric assist - but we'll have to sit tight to find out for sure.
Analysts say Honda's growing woes in Europe not just the economy
Tue, 12 Feb 2013There is no denying that the European auto market is taking its lumps right now - just ask Peugeot - but Honda might be taking this downturn on the chin a little harder than some of the other Japanese automakers doing business on the continent. Automotive News Europe is reporting that things have gotten so bad for Honda that it will be cutting 800 workers from Swindon, England plant that builds the CR-V, Civic and Jazz (a.k.a. Fit). This will be the first time Honda has made such cuts in more than 20 years.
Despite an increase in output last year over 2011 (165,607 units compared to 97,459), the Swindon plant is still running well below its full capacity (250,000/year), and its 66 percent capacity is less than the expected breakeven point of industry analysts (75 to 80 percent). Unlike in the US, however, Honda's new CR-V and Civic aren't selling well, and the similarly sized Nissan Qashqai is outselling the CR-V at a rate of more than five to one. Slow CR-V sales are blamed on a relatively high price and the crossover's conservative styling. On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, the report notes that Nissan continues to experience growth at its UK operations, leading analysts to suggest that Honda can't blame the sour economy for much of its woes.
