Selling my '01 Silverstone Metallic S2000. It's a great running & driving car and has been ultra reliable, but I've got a few more important things I need and too many vehicles; this one's the least practical so it's got to go. It's relatively stock and most of the "upgrades" were made out of necessity. Rarely driven in anger, babied and pampered for the two years I've owned it. Everything works EXACTLY how it should; A/C blows COLD, engine starts perfect, purrs like a kitten at idle, vtec engages how it should; no warning lights on the cluster.

  • Body: 8/10 - A few minor paint chips in the fenders from road debris.
  • Interior: 7/10 - Typical wear on left drivers seat bolster and seat bottom, minor wear on carpet, wear & tear on shifter trim.
  • Soft Top: 7/10 - Good condition for it's age. Light clouding on the plastic rear window, beginning to tear on both sides at the plastic flaps but they're only about 1/4"-1/2" in length right now; should be no issue to patch and keep hidden if caught soon.

  • Oil changed every 3k miles with Castrol GTX 10w30
  • Cooling system flushed 1k miles ago
  • Transmission and rear diff fluids changed 10k miles ago
  • Valves adjusted 5k miles ago
  • Spark Plugs replaced 5k miles ago
  • Registration and TX state inspection valid until 2015


"MODS"
  • Full Blown aluminum radiator - Stock radiator fans
  • Hasport 62a Billet Engine Mounts - Supposed to have been stock replacement; GREAT feel and power transfer while driving, but they cause quite a bit of in-cabin vibration at idle RPM
  • Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Pump (installed in anticipation of a future turbo, still have stock)
  • Stainless Steel Straight Pipe after cat to right behind the rear axle (still have stock exhaust minus flange, used for straight pipe)
  • No-Name / Ebay front lip, unpainted but in excellent condition. Decent fit.
  • ** Hardtop previously included is no longer available and will be sold separately**


CONS
  • Excessive in-cabin vibration due to Hasport mounts; not unbearable, just a minor annoyance at times
  • The straight pipe exhaust is loud. Not unbearable, but I really enjoy the sound the F20c makes, even while cruising; not everyone will.
  • Drivers side soft top latch is wearing and causes wind noise at highway speeds; still holds tight against rain and car washes.

 The title is clear, but there is still an open bank loan on the vehicle; the final loan payment to be made after full payment for the vehicle is received. The winning buyer is welcomed/encouraged to accompany me to the bank to complete the transaction. The account is current and in good standing.

Honda underreported 1,729 claims of injuries or deaths since 2003

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Among these underreported cases were eight Takata airbag inflator ruptures not submitted. Following an independent audit of its safety reporting procedures, Honda has found massive holes in its methodology and practices that resulted in 1,729 claims of injuries or deaths going unreported to federal authorities dating back to July 2003. The cases should have been submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as part of its quarterly Early Warning Reports (EWRs) under the TREAD Act, but they fell through the cracks for a variety of reasons. Honda blames the underreporting on three factors: data entry errors, computer coding problems and "an overly narrow interpretation of what constituted a 'written notice' under the TREAD Act." The first two issues were related to the computer program that collected the claims. If employees didn't enter a date in the "written claim received" field, then they were omitted from the EWRs. Also, the company's internal component codes didn't always match those used by NHTSA, and only the ones that were the same were disclosed. Finally, third-party documents, including police reports, were not considered. Honda says the computer error is now corrected, and the company is updating its data entry training. In the future, written and oral claims will be included in EWRs, as well. Among these underreported cases were eight Takata airbag inflator ruptures not submitted in Honda's EWRs, including one death and seven injuries. However, the automaker claims NHTSA was already aware of all of these incidents either from the agency's own records or from the company's notification outside of the EWR process. Unfortunately, this problem could have been stopped much sooner. The issue was first brought to light in 2011 but didn't result in a followup. NHTSA advised the automaker of discrepancies in January 2012, and it still did nothing. This third-party audit wasn't commissioned until September 2014. "Honda acknowledges that it lacked the urgency needed to correct its problems on a timely basis," it says in the announcement. Separately, the Japanese government is starting an investigation, as well. According to Reuters, the Japanese Transport Minister has created a task force to look into the Takata recalls and find out whether Honda under-reported incidents there.

2015 Honda Civic Type R prototype

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

With a name like Earth Dreams, you'd be forgiven for assuming that Honda's new family of turbocharged VTEC engines is more about environmental credentials than performance. And to a large degree they are - particularly in 1.0- and 1.5-liter forms. But the 2.0 is another beast altogether.
Thanks to a high-output turbocharger, direct injection, a high-performance cooling system and, of course, variable valve timing, Honda's new 2.0-liter four produces upwards of 280 horsepower while still complying with upcoming Euro 6 emissions standards. Although actual output has yet to be confirmed, that preliminary figure already compares favorably with the Ford Focus ST (252 hp) and Mazdaspeed3 (274 hp) and rests comfortably in between the Volkswagen GTI (270 hp) and Golf R (296 hp).
Although Honda has already shoehorned the smaller 1.5-liter turbo four and 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engines into an Acura ILX and another Civic hatchback, the home it gave the 2.0 betrays more than an engine swap. What you see here is essentially the next Civic Type R, following a long line of Honda hot hatches. With this latest model, the Japanese automaker is targeting the front-drive lap record at the Nürburgring that belongs to the Renaultsport Megane Trophy and before that, to the lightweight Megane R26.R. A tall order, to be sure, so we headed to Honda's R&D center in Tochigi, Japan, to take it out for a ride.

Honda demonstrates new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian safety tech [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We're fresh from a balmy rooftop deck in downtown Detroit, where Honda held a meeting this week to discuss and demonstrate a few upcoming advanced safety features. A clear focus of the mini event was the company's new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) technology, with a suite of Vehicle-to-Motorcycle (V2M) tech a significant second course.
With spirits still high from announcing the 2014 Odyssey as the first minivan to win the Top Safety Pick+ status from IIHS - and after seeing the application of new high-strength-steel sections of the Acura MDX body structure - Honda shared the fruits of some safety tech that is still in the research phase.
