In case anyone is unsure, do a search for the EZTop on S2KI.com. Most people say it looks better than OEM and the fit is perfect.

This install is a PITMFA, I will never ever do this ever again. At first it was sorta enjoyable, then tedious, then it just became flat out frustrating and laborous. I'm actually contemplating taking it to a shop to get the rest of the interior back in, I'm just sick of doing this already.

They're saying it takes the full 11 hours to install it. Initial impressions may be pretty good, but I'd be wary of how an aftermarket top performs after a couple years. Especially with the constant stretching and the need for a precision fit.

This is one of the biggest reasons I sprang for the 02-03. I calculated how much it would cost to get the upgrades I wanted and it made more financial sense just to go for the 02-03.

Since I've joined this prestigious band of topless misfits, I'm wondering if the 2001's have heated seats? I only ask because I was trying to find something under my seat and I stumbled across some wiring on the seats but have not seen any switches that would indicate that I had heated seasts. Any insight into what the wiring and harness are under my seat? :dunno:

Cheers.

From what I remember, I don't think any S2000's came with heated seats at all.

No they don't have heated seats but I'm sure you can probably ghetto rig something together. Something along the lines of cutting out the seat and implanting something in it lol

Anyway, congrats LUDELVR. Pictures of the new ride?

I've already tried that except now my ass is on fire. But I guess it is complementary to the feeling I get in my dick. :( oh well.

Thanks for the congrats guys, as for the pics, just look at Alpha's old car. Nothing really has changed except for the driver and I'm working on photoshopping my face onto that one! ;)

Another note, is it me or does VTEC kick in a bit late? I'm noticing just after 6000 rpm :dunno:

Ludelvr - the vtec engagement point is normal. You can get a VAFC and program it to come on earlier. This mod also seems to net a good 10whp when tuned on a dyno properly.

Lots of people have daily driven the S2000 through the ultra cold months, myself included. The first year I had the car, my hardtop was on back order and I used the car all winter. The S2000 has one of the best interior heaters of any car around. Even on the coldest days, it will heat the inside up to the point you will have to turn it down. The soft top can also tolerate quite of bit of snow on it, too. Don't let the idea of it being a small convertible make you think it can't be winter driven. Snow tires are a must. If you park outside on really cold days or nights, the use of a block heater will also make the engine happier.

That's a relief to know. In any case, I think I'll just hold off. This thing should be turbo'd by some time next year. :rofl: Ghettofabulous is about to make a resurgence!!

I've seen a lot of setups on these engines, but I'm not a huge fan of the superchargers and definitely not a fan of the FMUs!!! Are the AEM EMSs any good? Anyone have any experience with them?

The biggest problem with turbo/supercharging is the engine management. Sure FMUs aren't great and don't do much other than add fuel, but they do come with the supercharger kits so not much to complain about.

An AEM EMS is $1500+ w/o harness (more if you want wideband). Then add in like another $1000 for tuning, and you'll be at least 5 grand in your build. That is if you use cheap parts. A GT30/35R go for around $1200+, so you get the point. Also you'll need a clutch and you'll need money on hand for a new differential.

Oh and I noticed that your car is an 01, just like mine, so replacing those oil bolts is essential if turbo/supercharging. Some people who skip on this get scored bores with kms of trying out their new setups.

If you take all of this into account a bolt on supercharger seems like a good idea. They are relatively reliable too, in comparison with turbos. The Science of Speed which uses the larger Novi1200 (Comptechs use Novi1000) kit is $3800 w/o aftercooler and puts you close to 300 whp. That's what I am saving for. :thumbsup:

PS: And the best advice to a new S2000 owner, check your oil at least once a week, or when you fill up.

Have you and anyone else find their s2k burns oil? Mine hasn't burned any. I check everytime I get get which is usually twice a week and have never noticed a drop.

That means you don't know how to read an oil level gauge.

Any Honda I've driven that has VTEC will consume some oil. If you're diligent and you monitor the oil level properly, you WILL notice it drop between oil changes.

Yah, I've been contemplating the choice between s/c or turbo and after having a turbo lude for so long, I LOVE the lag!! Can't remember who said, it maybe it was Kenne Bell or someone but it was "if you don't have lag, you don't have turbo" :rofl:

I've seen some turbo kits for sale for around the same price (minus the ems) on s2ki and that has somewhat prompted me to going that route. Also, I'm a big boy racer and I love the look of the intercooler and the sound of the blowof valve! :rofl: haha

Haven't been in a supercharged s2k yet so maybe that's still an option. I just made a promise that I won't mod it till after at least one year! :(

I'm very meticulous about checking oil. I fill exactly to the top dot so I notice if it's off by a hair.

There's no engine in the world that won't consume any oil between oil changes and it IS noticeable on the dipstick. Those who say otherwise are lying.

Just a quick question here, but has there been any hacks for a F/I application like there were for the older hondas like uberdata that used a p28 ecu or something similar?

I'm all for an EMS, but 1500 is a bit ridiculous!! :eek:

I only ask because they said in the past that the only way to properly turbo the older hondas were by getting a true standalone, but low and behold people came out with uberdata, chrome, the vafc hack and other methods to avoid going that former route.

Every engine burns oil (it has to, by design, as oil has to seep past the piston rings a tiny bit to keep the whole thing working) but it's just that fresher piston rings do a better job and less oil is burnt.

But didn't you buy your car brand new? A fresh engine burns quite a bit of oil before the piston rings seat properly and create a good seal. I lost like 3/4L in the first few hundred KM as I broke the engine in. :D After break-in, I lose an almost imperceptable amount of oil at every change, even with track days included.

I'd say the S2000's heater is about the same as most heaters.

Try the heaters in VWs. Those things will burn your hands at 3/4 and 100% is not something you would even consider, ever.

This is why so many people kept blowing their engines early on trying to turbo and using some piggyback garbage for tuning. As well AEM EMS eliminates a lot of the usual car functions, and you will have a constant CEL. S2ki F/I forum has a lot of the information you will need.

Hence my argument for superchargers as usually the torque is linear and at low psi levels you can get away with using something like EMU. Oh and for your ricer needs you can always fabricate your own FMIC and put a blowoff valve on the supercharger. In fact I think a company called UR makes a FMIC for the comptech supercharger (not sure on this).

As for the oil, I thought it was common knowledge that AP2s don't burn much oil. AP1s on the other hand do.

Ya it was brand new. I noticed a bit for the fitst change, but since then, it doesn't seem to burn any at all.


Richardchan - that could be the difference between us. I'm not that meticulous with my oil. I fill it up, but don't count the tiny bars on the dipstick.

Now look what you've gone and made me do...I'm starting to think Supercharger!! ;) I didn't want to go too high anyway in terms of boost pressure. Just enough to make me smile! :)

Still wondering how well it works at high rpm and the high fuel pressure! I know that heaps of people are running them and still getting good numbers, but how's it for longevity? I was doing some reading last night and some guys were getting into the 13:1 afr's but still having no probs. I've mucked around with the fmu's before and I was hoping not to go that route. If people are swapping out the fmu, do they usually go with the aem?

I'm not saying you should get a supercharger, just letting you know of some the costs that are involved. You see a lot of threads on s2ki "don't want to spend any more money on this, just get it on the road" and then they come back with blown motors. I've never been in a turbo S2K so I wouldn't know but the general consensus is that it really shifts the power band, and you will get a torque mountain that you will never have with a supercharger. If money was no issue I would definitely be on the turbo wagon, but with the current exchange rate it's just getting harder to get a good F/I setup for a good price. Like previously mentioned go have a look in the S2Ki F/I forum. It's a great place to start. Or you can talk to xviper, he is the S2K god. :burnout:

Sorry boys, but another quick question. How many of you are running a sub in your car? I've been reading up on s2ki and there are a few running some in the boot, but just wondering how you guys find it if you're running one. Is there heaps of sound lost (just how audible is it)? I'm just pondering the sound transfer seeing that there is no real path for the sound waves seeing that the boot is really isolated, but I'm not exacty sure.

i'm pretty much set on the ap2, but what made you choose the 03 over the ap2, specifically?

p.s white is my color of preference, followed by yellow.

:werd:
But exterior and interior wide, ap2 is better in my opinion.
Just my opinion, dont want to start a ap1 vs ap2 war:rofl:

Motor wise, the 10 tq didn't really to make a huge difference.
I just rev the crap out of it.:love:

You talking about the coilpack cover - the thing that says "VTEC" on it? It's made of metal.

They came in a variety of different markings depending on what year you have. They cost about 100 bucks new. Here, you see two types of markings:

Amuse, ASM(worth more than the car), mastergrade :thumbsdow ,

Not that many, but most are of high quality, I wouldnt consider, J's, mild ASM real "widebody", are you gonna be the first highly modded CR in canada? :D

Those are the fenders I was going to do but never got around to it. Allows way better brake and tire upgrade options.

I love the Amuse WB kit, I'm not a huge fan of the exhaust location, but it could grow on me.

I plan to keep the same color scheme (Apex Blue/Black), keep the CR badges, leave the interior stock...

EDIT - I've driven the car maybe 4 or 5 times in the last month. Doing something like this would make me interested in the car again.

I few guys I have seen fill in the exhaust holes and use a normal exiting exhaust on the Amuse kit
