Top has a slight tear on the passenger side--about .5"-1" in length.

Pictures are all taken with a Nikon D-40X which should show these issues in great detail"

For sale is my baby, my first child. 


This adult-owned and driven, never smoked in 2002 Honda S2000 was purchased by me used with 17K miles in 2006. In the seven years since purchasing it, it has morphed into an incredibly fast, extremely reliable and daily-drivable street beast. Beyond all the great features already standard on the Honda S2000 making it one of the best performing cars for the money, this vehicle was professionally built to go fast, while still maintaining it's civil nature.

The S2000 was introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year and was given the chassis designation of AP1. It featured a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with power being delivered by a 1,997 cc (122 cu in) inline 4-cylinder DOHC-VTEC engine. The engine (codenamed F20C) produced outputs of 177–184 kW (237–247 hp), and 208–218 N·m (153–161 lbf·ft) depending on the target market.[5] The engine was mated to a six-speed manual transmission and Torsen limited slip differential. The S2000 achieved what Honda claimed as "the world's top level, high performance 4-cylinder normally aspirated engine"

Features include independent double wishbone suspensionelectrically assisted steering and integrated roll hoops. The car featured 16 in (41 cm) wheels with Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tires. The compact and lightweight engine, mounted entirely behind the front axle, allowed the S2000 to achieve a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and lower rotational inertia. An electrically poweredvinyl top with internal cloth lining was standard, with an aluminum hardtop available as an optional extra.

The 2001 model was largely unchanged, but Honda upgraded the radio and added a digital clock to the dashboard display. For the 2002 model year, suspension settings were revised and the plastic rear window was replaced by a glass unit incorporating an electric defroster. Other updates included slightly revised tail lamps, an upgraded radio, a leather gearshift knob and a revised engine control unit.

The AP1 was manufactured up to 2003 at Honda's Takanezawa plant, alongside the Honda NSX and Honda Insight hybrid.


The S2000 has received much praise from critics and motoring journalists and has received favourable reviews from such publications as Car and Driver. Highlighted are the high output of the engine, the high redline, the balanced handling, and the smooth gearbox. User surveys have named the S2000 as a favorite for overall customer satisfaction.[23]


The S2000 for sale on this eBay ad has the following performance modifications, all built and installed by ASE-certified Platinum level Honda Technicians.
Engine:
Torn down at 44K miles and completely rebuilt by Jeremy Allen of InLinePro(http://www.inlinepro.com/s1/) and (http://www.allenbuilt.blogspot.com/)
F24C stroker kit installed (http://www.inlinepro.com/s1/p-257-s2000-f24-stroker-kit.aspx) with 10:1 compression CP pistons
stock head/stock cams/stock intake manifold
Every seal/gasket in the engine was replaced during rebuild
Car does not leak a drop of oil, which is not normally the case with turbocharged Hondas
Car dyno'd 510whp and 397TQ at the wheels at 15psi(very conservative boost level for this build--has never seen more than 15psi) on 93 octane ( http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/F24CDynoGraph.jpg <---may have to copy link into URL) and 440whp and 280TQ on 10psi
Car was professionally tuned by the best Honda tuner in the US(and likely the world) Jeff Evans (http://www.evans-tuning.com/) and has been running his tunes since 2008 with no issues....idles better than stock and gets better gas mileage than stock when not in boost--if you have enough self-control to keep it out of boost.

Started out as an off the shelf stage1 kit(kept and use the cast manifold for durability purposes--stronger and lasts much longer than regular tubular manifolds--makes dyno numbers even more impressive considering those numbers normally come from stage2 kits running more boost than this car is)
InlinePRO T3/T4 Cast Iron  turbo manifold
Borg warner or Garrett Turbo ( size will vary ) 
AEM EMS version 2
InlinePRO 675cc or 900cc injectors
InlinePRO injector clips
InlinePRO 2.5" charge pipes
InlinePRO Blowoff Valve
InlinePRO 3" downpipe
InlinePRO Couplers and clamps
InlinePRO 600 hp intercooler
Tial MVS Wastegate
Walboro 255 fuel pump
InlinePRO Oil Feed kit
InlinePRO Oil Return kit

However, I opted for the more expensive options including:
-Precision Turbo .63mm Dual ball-bearing oil-cooled turbo
-Hondata ECU
-Injector Dynamics 1000CC fuel injectors
-Competition Clutches Stage 5 full-face clutch(makes daily driving a breeze and will hold all the power this car is capable of making)

Some other things that make this car unique and even more driver/user-friendly include
-AEM TruBoost Gauge-type Controller----this boost gauge is also able to hold two boost level tunes, currently running a 10psi boost tune and a 15psi boost tune; switchable on the fly
-Hondata ECU--This car will pass emissions and inspections in any state with no issues whatsoever. Installed race catalyst in exhaust so that it will also pass visual inspections. I have had this car inspected at VERY respectable(Rahal Honda, etc.) Honda dealers with this set up as-is and have never been turned away or denied. Never have to worry about failing emissions with this vehicle.
-Custom made Air/oil separator installed and hidden behind front bumper to evacuate oil vapors in valve cover(no dipstick blowing out or seals in engine being destroyed by pressurized crankcase gases)
-Custom made heatshields for battery/fusebox[which was relocated parallel to fender], intercooler pipes and air filter, all wrapped in 100% real/authentic Gold-Leaf heatwrap. Gold is the most reflective and least heat absorbing metal on the planet and this really helps keep underhood temperatures and air intake temperatures down to reasonable levels. You can find out more about it here: http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?tpc=Reflective-Film-Gold&form_prod_id=3153&action=product  <---also applied to rear bumper to help reduce warping/discolouration from exhaust gases
-Braille 9-lb carbon-fiber racing battery 
-Koyo Radiator with OEM fans/fan shrouds
-New alternator
-New starter
-Lightweight 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 SSR GT-7 wheels----not replicas, real-deal SSRs
-Hood is shimmed in the back(near the wind shield) to help dissipate heat from the engine bay
-Seibon black Carbon Fiber Mugen-Style vented hood is available at the buy it now price. Looks like this: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/wm.php/images/seibons2000mghood5.jpg 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^please note that this is not my car, but an image to reflect the CF hood available

Beyond that, the entire rest of the vehicle is 100% stock and serviceable by any Honda dealer or technician in the world. Part of the reason why I built this car this way was because the car came from Honda almost as good as it could get. It simply needed more power and a reliable way of delivering that power.

You will not be disappointed by this car in the slightest. It starts and runs perfectly every time you get in it(just drove it 5 hours through traffic to the beach this past weekend in the extreme heat and with the A/C on full blast it never missed a beat). There are no underlying issues. THIS IS NOT A PROJECT CAR! This is a fully-built, ready to drive everyday vehicle that will not be coming with any surprises or issues. The reason I'm selling is because I'm moving to Colorado and will not be able to drive it 6+ months out of the year and I would rather someone who can give it the attention it deserves a chance to have fun with her. I will miss her. I may call you once a month to ask how she is or to see a pic of her. I may ask that you send me videos of her so I can hear her roar for old-times sake. She will make you happier than you could ever imagine.

If you're looking for a completely stock S2000, I ask you this, why would you spend the same money on a 100% stock and slow S2000 as you can on this and have better drivability, more performance and a better platform to start with. This would be the perfect start to a time attack or drift machine. I chose not to go those routes because I was too busy driving it and enjoying it everyday as-is.

***edit*** I have noticed looking through the vehicle history report that there are 2 incidents reported very early on in the ownership of the vehicle while it was parked.  This is news to me, as Carfax was not around back in 2006 when we bought it. However, I can assure you that this car is as straight as an arrow and I will be putting the vehicle up in the air to get some pictures of it from underneath and more pictures of the exterior/interior/etc. This will take a day or so, but I will update this before the end of the auction.

I would be happy to take more pictures or even shoot some video of her in action if you desire to see it running. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

IndyCars parade across Golden Gate Bridge for Justin Wilson [w/video]

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Seeing IndyCars driving on public roads is a rare treat, especially on an iconic landmark like the Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately, the exciting sight came on a very somber occasion. On August 27, a parade of five racecars sped across the famous span in large part to memorialize fellow driver Justin Wilson. In an incredibly touching scene, teammate Marco Andretti led the pack, and he was behind the wheel of Wilson's number 25 Andretti Autosport Honda. "It was an honor to drive Justin's car. It was emotional for sure," Andretti said to the IndyCar Series. Behind him were Graham Rahal, Will Power, and Josef Newgarden. James Hinchcliffe was in a two-seater IndyCar to deliver the Aston Cup to the season finale at Sonoma Raceway. Two safety vehicles were also part of the procession, and they were flying Justin Wilson flags. Wilson passed away earlier this week after being struck in the head by a carbon-fiber nosecone from a crash ahead of him during the ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway. Since then there has been an outpouring of support from the motorsport world for the 37-year-old racer's family. You can watch a clip of the driver's crossing the Bridge, below.

Watch these guys creatively cover No Diggity in a Honda Civic

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

People do some weird things in their cars. Take these two gentlemen and their Honda Civic. Rather than tune in to satellite radio or hook up an iPod, they've opted to create their own music.
YouTube musician Flula (in the passenger seat) and his friend Chester perform a cover of Blackstreet's Number-One Billboard hit, "No Diggity," complete with the requisite auto tuning, all while on the go. Is it weird that we almost prefer this wacky version to the original '90s R&B classic? Take a look - and a listen - by scrolling below, and note that we've included the original song featuring Dr. Dre... you know, for comparative purposes.

SAE World Congress: Honda FCEV fuel cell stack has cells just 1 mm thin

Fri, Apr 24 2015

The only update we have for people who are paying ultra-close attention to the progress of the hydrogen-powered Honda FCEV concept is that we now know how thin the individual cells in the car's fuel cell stack are. Speaking at the 2015 SAE World Congress in Detroit this week, American Honda Motor Company Manager of fuel cell vehicle marketing, Steve Ellis, told AutoblogGreen that the fuel cell stack is now 33-percent smaller and offers a 60-percent improvement in power density. We knew this already. What we didn't know is how Honda got there. Ellis said that these improvements are due in part to a reduction in the size of the fuel cell thickness. Each cell in the stack is one millimeter thick, he said. For everyone who isn't counting the millimeters of this car, here's the broader situation. Honda and the state of California (and others) are working hard on getting H2 infrastructure up can running. "The stations are accelerating as we speak," Ellis said. Three new stations have opened in the last few months and the state has pledged $20 million per year until there are 100 stations in California. Honda has also invested in FirstElement to install stations. The production FCEV will feature a range of over 300 miles and have a three-to-five minute refueling time. The car will launch in Japan in March 2016, with US and European sales starting at some unspecified time after that.
