I'm not sure if this is old news? But if the new S2000R comes to OZ as is look out!

Powered by a 3.0L inline NA 6 - 360hp (~270kw)

weighing in @ ~2400lbs (under 1100kg!) ='s 12.8 @ 111.7mph stock :eek:

Check it out - http://www.automotivearticles.com/get.php?...le&articleid=52 Edit: - For those that can't be stuffed reading go to the bottom of the article for the performance stat's.

Edit - THE ARTICLE IS A FAKE! To the best of my knowledge the S2000R 3.0L 6 doesn't exsist.

S2000's are heaps of fun - and you've gotta love that VTEC snarl.

If I was in the market for a $120k ragtop - I'd go there instead of a Euro.

I have a soft spot for Hondas - and besides, Porsches are too tossy.

Hmmm..... I just noticed that too!? Pretty impressive hoax if it is a load of crap?

Edit - Just did a quick check on a few Honda sites & no mention of the S2000R, it's BS.

Yeah there's no such thing, they're supposed to be releasing an S2200, but it'll be a hard top, thus the 2.2 litre engine for the extra weight.

They're a wicked car though, just over priced, but honda's do hold their value very well, still see 10 year old preludes going for $20,000+

Stupid cause Japs have a gentlemans agreement to 208kw
This agreement will be broken this year from what I understand. I believe the first car that will break it is Subaru's Impreza WRX S202 which is something like 220kw..... I'm not sure if STI is exempt from it as they are SORT OF an aftermarket tuner...

But yeh sounds like bullshit ... theres no talk around Japan of a 3ltr S2000.. hmmm

its about time, i hate that stupid gentlemens' law. (in the states its like 275-280hp)

anyway that article is a very old hoax. if it were even remotely true it would be called the S3000 since it always follows the displacement of the engine. (like the s600, s800, etc) just some kid dreaming :(

peace

Yep.S2000s are fun.I have an update model in Blue with black leather.They really do need a turbo though.The mid range torque

is just not there, so you really have to drive the car up in the revs all the time on VTEC to get the best out of it.Great car if you are not used to big power, but I have 2 GTRs(one 272rwkw -1650kg &

one 500rwkw - 1270kg) so the Honda(while great with the roof down & all) does seem a bit lacking in the grunt dept.

I am actually selling the car at the moment(only 2700kms) for around $72,000($80,000 new) & buying a yellow EVO VII.(130km)

The EVO doesn't have the class of the Honda to look at, but driving pleasure is what it's all about, & once a turbo man - always a turbo man.The EVO I'm referring to is the actual car in the HPI 25 issue(gold top secret GTR on cover)

I will always have fond memories of the Honda S2000 though - anyone looking for a near new one?

No.It's the yellow one in the article with the white one(HPI 25)

Mark Hocking (the guy that bought in that new white R34 N1 GTR

for Peter Moore - Wheels Apr 02 cover) bought the EVO7 new in

Japan over 12 months ago.He has just brought it in to Aust as a private import & according to him there are only 3 EVO 7s in Aust.

It only has 130km on it, has an upgraded CPU(310hp),Carbon fibre bonnet, & a new HKS exhaust system(not fitted yet).

I looked at the 'new' EVO 6.5s still in the showroom here in Adelaide, but decided that the 7 looks much better,is stiffer,has an active centre diff,a better dash layout, better torque & is more exclusive(3 7s in Aust vs 100 Aust delivered 6.5s)

Of course I cant drop the roof like in the Honda, but it has a much

bigger boot & It can take 3 passengers, so for me it will be much more practical considering my other cars are 2 doors or utes.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
