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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
