drifttube, as a sidenote. the droning might seem annoying now.

but trust me, you'll get used to it. sounds like alot of work to dampen the sound.

[drifttube123]

Hey Skyline Addict, the drone is not so bad for me, but it's my better half that really dislikes it.

Xviper, it sound like an easy install. I have emailed Coastal Metals about the splitter, can't wait!

I also found this product for drone: http://www.engineceramics.com/hardpart/ccinserts.htm
Its suppose to stop the drone, quiet sound a bit and apparently increase low and midrange torque and power. What do you guys think?

[Skyline_Addict]

YO GUYS.

I am in need of some stock wheels with tires. I'm not fussy about condition of the wheels and tires, just need something to park on for the winter on a budget.

PM me with what you've got.

Thanks!

[Ek9Max]

Anybody got an extra engine harness lying around? PM if you do.

Pretty easy.

I wouldn't bother unless you use some garbage oil. Amsoil 5w30 starts first time, every time, just takes a bit longer to warm up than if you had a block heater. I've had it sitting overnight outside in @ -40, and it starts just fine just takes a few more cranks.

interesting... at about -5 degrees the past couple weeks, my car wouldnt start on the first time. It would turn over and catch but it would splutter and die right away. The second time however, the car fired right up no problem. I use Amsoil 10w30.

This is not uncommon when the seasons change like it has. It has absolutely nothing to do with your oil. It's not a big deal and if you understand why it's doing it and treat it the proper way, it will eventually learn and not do it again.

I wasnt too worried about it and I kinda had a inkling that the ECU would figure itself out and go away. Never knew about the fuel pump priming, will try to go through those steps next year after i bring the car out of hibernation.

Just what people are running for wheels and tires for winter.
Picking up an ap1 soon and need winters for it.

[xviper]

For 9 winters, I ran stock 16" sizes for winter tires. Since the OEM SO2s actually have a wider footprint that the sizing would suggest, stock sizing in non-OEM tires seem to give you 1 size narrower. So, if you want to stay with 16" rims, go with 205/55/16 and 225/50/16 snow tires. Remember that when you need summer tires and you are not getting original SO2s, go with 205s in the front and 245/45/16 for the rear.
If you decide to go with 17" rims as I just did for this year, I just went with the sizing for the S2000 CR - 215 front and 255 rear, in the appropriate aspect ratio to keep the diameter the same to maintain speedo accuracy. In a RWD car like ours, you want a narrower tire up front as this is the end that has to be pushed through snow. The rear can stay wide since you want more tread to dig through the snow, since those are your driving tires.
The S2000 has unusually high positive offset in the rims, so rim choices must be carefully chosen. If you go to TireRack.com, you will see all the rims that will fit on this car.
If you are new to RWD for winter use, get an aggressive snow tire or you'll be sorry. Blizzak LM-25 or WS-60 and Dunlop Wintersport M3 are some decent choices.

[Errol.]

Thanks xviper

If im going to pick up some steelies in 16, what size and offset would i be looking at.

For as long as the S2000 has existed, I have never found a steelie that is the correct dimensions. Your best bet is to get a cheap set of alloys. My very first set of winter rims came from Contemporary. They were ADRs - 7"X16", +44mm offset ($100.00 each). I think they were designed for an Integra, but that was a long time ago. Or find a set of used OEM rims, which are 6.5" wide and +53mm front / 7.5" wide and +65mm rear.
TireRack has many rims that will fit and they are as cheap as 94 bucks.

Should i be running a staggered setup for winter too?

Yes, you should. At the very least, staggered tires. You can run the same width rims all around and get away with it for winter if you drive with extra caution. The problem is that our winters don't see snow and ice on the roads all the time. You will drive on them when they are dry most of the time. A non-staggered set-up will become unstable at speed.

Not knowing the exact condition of your brake system, follow this thread:

http://forums.s2kca.com/showthread.php?t=15341

However, if you've had it sitting around long enough just dribbling, there is a possibility that you now have air in the ABS. You will never know this till you do the bleed and use the car. If you suspect that there may be air in the ABS, you must get on a road surface (low traction) where you can slam on the brakes and make the ABS work hard. This will drive out the air from the ABS box. Then you need to repeat the bleed procedure.

[LUDELVR]

Any one herd of spark plugs blowing up in the f20c block??

[xviper]

Originally posted by S2K2

Well, they don't exactly "blow up". In the early model cars (year 2000, 2001 and some 2002), Honda used plugs that did not incorporate a stainless steel crush washer and they screwed them in with too little torque. A few cars had the number 4 plug back out and the resultant escape of combustion gases past the plug threads caused excessive heat in that area. That caused the tip to quickly disintegrate, resulting in the 4th cylinder to grenade. Honda issued a recall to replace all plugs with ones with SS crush washers and increased the torque from 13 lb/ft to 18 lb/ft.
The use of the proper sparkplugs and the proper torque eliminated this issue entirely.
It should also be noted that Bosche sparkplugs and Iridium sparkplugs do not work well in an S2000. They will eventually develop a miss. In a FI engine, these will cause a high rpm miss. Best plug for this car is the stock platinum plugs with the proper gap. Copper racing plugs also work well but don't last long.

[S2K2]

So there was a recall because Honda sold me a old set and one of them fail I called Ngk and they told me that they were discontinued I am just trying to find who to blame because I might be out a engine

[xviper]

You have to prove 2 things:

1. All NGK and Denso OEM plugs will have an "S" at the end of the part number. This stands for "stainless steel". If the plugs you were sold do not have this, they are liable. You can have them look up the recall.
2. You put them in with 18 lb/ft of torque.

[S2K2]

My shop will verify the torque I will check the part number in the morning but when I read the serial to ngk they said they were discontinued... Such bad luck this summer hopfully everything will work out thanks for the help xviper once again excellent advice



Respect +1

[dimi]

Ensure your plugs are in at 18-20lb/ft. I have always torqued mine to 20lft/lb and i put in a bit of anti seize but I don't recall which kind. I check them periodically and they are always good.

This and the old oil banjo bolts are the things that usually cause catastrophic engine failure in the early AP1 models (00-01). The ECU ensures that there is no power below 6000 with little to no timing and pig rich A/F, and that the power drops like a stone after 8500. All of this is even more pronounced at this altitude.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

You just removed your timing chain tensioner. Hopefully, you didn't drop any little piece down into the front of the engine casing. That would be very bad.
The timing chain tensioner should only be removed if you plan to replace it. There are no servicable parts in there. The plunger is spring loaded and it must be retracted using the proper sized bolt in the retraction hole. You cannot squeeze it together with a vise. It doesn't work that way. Once retracted you must set the "pin" to hold it in place, then remove the retraction bolt. Slide the TCT back into the head and bolt it in. The access hatch on the front of the engine must be removed so you can reach in with some strong needle nosed pliers and yank out the pin. (The air box will have to be removed to get clear access to the hole to pull the pin.) The plunger will "fire" and set itself onto the timing chain guide arm.
Why did you remove it? This could turn out to be quite a nightmare. The best thing to do is to go get a new one. It comes pre-set with the pin already in it.
Do NOT crank the engine with no timing chain tensioner installed. You will be in a huge world of hurt.

What kit are you running? I thought you mentioned the KW kit, in which case you are limited to 10 psi or risk blowing the blower, as many others who have ventured over 10psi have learned.

The stock block can take 14 psi, you'd better have a damn good tuner though.

PS: What I meant is the stock head gasket can take 14 psi. A 3mm head gasket has been tested to around 33psi on Q16 race gas, so the block is not your bottleneck, the gas is however.

So last weekend i pulled my car out of the garage and let it sit on my driveway with no insurence for 2 days before i had someone cut the top open and steal a plain jvc cd player and like 16 bucks in change. So s2000 owners be aware that there are some little faggits fucking with our cars. I am in the far south. shawnessy and area. Just a heads up to any of you who are leaving your car outside over winter. iv seen a couple around.

Now i am looking for a soft top lol. more then likely i will be upgrading to the glass rear window. so if anyone has one from a hardtop conversion or just know where i can find one please let me know.

[Sebasshole]

And another question. if i buy a soft top with the rails and everything will it drop right in. i know i can buy the material with glass window for 700 but it also needs a install and im not good with stuff like that. so i want to do this for the cheapest price possible.

No, it won't be any simpler. Replacing an S2000 soft top is a complicated procedure requiring drilling out old rivets and putting in new ones. It is not a "drop in", whether you do just the soft material or if you have the complete top. Actually, replacing the whole top will be an even bigger job as more stuff has to be exposed and detached.

[Sebasshole]

anyone know a place in calgary that will install the new soft top if i buy the material and bring them my old top off the car.?

I'm just wondering about this aftermarkent hub and the stock reel. Does the stock reel stay on? I've been doing some searching and on some vehicles they are taking them out entirely but on this sight :

it looks like it is staying on.

Ultimately, I will be putting on an aftermarket wheel, would like to keep the function where the turning indicators shut off after you turn the opposite direction, keep cruise control (I may either try and use the stock buttons or wire it to my volume control on the side), get the SRS light off as well as keep the horn.

Any insight into this install would be awesome.

It ain't cheap but if you want heavy, you pay for it. I've got one and it's great. It helps to absorb the added harmonic vibrations created by bolting a supercharger to the front of the engine.

Ti shift knobs aren't usually weighted. They weigh what they weigh naturally. The Voodoo knobs through Rick's are solid Ti. There's no space inside to put anything else into it to make it weigh more. The guy who was thinking of making the really heavy knobs was going to load a hollow ball full of lead. That almost doubles the weight of solid Ti.

I didn't believe shadowz about how big of difference a shift knob would make. But I tried it out and night and day difference in shifting. I definitely recommend it too

Hey mate,

yeah, I'd be keen to have a look at that disc. I need to go take my car in to Toma sooner than later but I"m currently in Whistler and am coming back on Tuesday.

I'd also be keen to have a look at your turbo kit. Would love to see the Mase kit up close and personal. PM me your number and I'll meet up with you when I get back!

You guys carry your young ones in the S?

What does the law state? I called CPS and the lady don't know.
Early AP1 with no airbag off switch, with a 5 yr old toddler. Is this legal? How about with a hardtop?

I don't believe there is a hard and fast written law about such things. This becomes an issue to do with common sense and if you have small children and don't have any common sense, maybe you shouldn't have children. They look up to you for their safety and well being, the responsibility for which isn't always written in a law. Don't carry your small child just because other people say they do that with theirs. A hardtop has no bearing on whether or not you should carry a small child in an S2000.
The law does state that all passengers riding in a legal road worthy motor vehicle with 4 or more wheels (some exceptions apply like buses) must use approved seat belts. The passenger must be above a certain age and size, below which, a suitable booster seat or approved car infant carrier must be used with the required tethering. I believe CSA dictates those standards.
It is recommended that you do NOT place such infant carriers in the front seat where there is no airbag deactivation switch or device. Small children should only be placed in the front seat if they can be restrained at a safe distance away from the airbag should it deploy. I do believe it is written somewhere stipulating this distance. It applies to small children and small adults. Can't tell you where it's written. Might want to look at the Alberta highway traffic act. Also try to contact the Calgary Safety Council as they should know the standards for infant carriers and booster seats.
Before the S2000 came from the factory with stock airbag switch for the passenger side, any owner of an S2000 could apply to the government to have a Honda OEM airbag defeat switch system installed. This cost approx. $500.00 and required the interior of the car to be almost completely dismantled.

Hey lads, need your opinions.

I just picked up as set of aj's racing carbon side diffusers and was just putting them up to the side of the car to see how to mount them and I had it slightly angled (no flushed with the back side of the car) and I started to wonder how it would look.

Unfortunately, I'm installing these on my own so I can't really have a look from a distance so I'm wondering what you guys reckon would look better for the diffusers, completely flushed with the underside of the car or slightly angled out at the back.

I don't have pics, but for anyone that has seen these diffusers, they are simply flat and symmetrical.

Any input would be appreciated before I install these things.

cheers.
