Any S2000 haters really need to drive one!

My friend bought one about 4 years ago.. told her to sell it after test driving it cause it the thing had no torque what so ever, you really need to rev the mighty 4 pot to get it going.. She bought a brand new Rx8 3 months after her S2000 purchase, a rotary, which is even more worse for torque

*facepalm*

S2k is a drivers car, you are obviously not one

Nothing wrong with having to rev it out, just drop a gear like a motorbike. It sure beat turbo lag in the traffic. The go kart handling is enough to impress me!

It does actually! Better than my R33 with sunroof :(

That's one thing the Euros did better than the Japs in the 90's...sunrooves that slid up onto the roof rather than into it, which creates more headroom.

Paul is referring to the fact that statistically the odds are against you as a p plater. There is a very large chance that you will stack it so why not stack something u don't give two Shits about

because 1 im fed up with older cars

2 i need something comfortable to daily and be able to hold a 6 burner range in the back

3 it has to look half decent

the ford ticks all those boxes, if i cant get the FG ill just settle for the BA

I spent 25k when i was 19 and 15 months later another 35k on a second car never had any problem just wasn't a dipshit driver - 0 accidents

Moh if it's for work then you'd be eligible for tax deductions of assume ? Tony could tell you better Though

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
