Too soon junior (Contains VTEC Yo)

At nearly R400K, no thanks.

You can't tie a monetary value to the MX-5 so that R400K is merely symbolic. I think actually they derived 400k from the fact that it is 400,000x better than the S2000.

Sorry, I have to disagree, at least 400,001x better.

Wow, I thought it would be cheaper than that. The car is *tiny*. I couldn't fit comfortably in it.

 

[Drifter]

Yes, and it was nearly R400K before the rand tanked.

Maybe go on a diet? Should improve the performance of the car too.

Does going on a diet make your legs shrink?
Not a lot of leg or headroom.

 

[Rouxenator]

Good point, my bad, sorry about that. With the drop-top head room should be OK.

Much like we have the monthly NAAMSA report, the auto industry down south produces the VFACTS data report. In last month’s publication, the guys over at Car Advice were surprised to see a 2008 Honda S2000 make its way onto the sales report.

After Car Advice managed to get a hold of the Honda Australia, it was clarified that this was not some odd printing error but a new S2000 had indeed been sold, eight years after being discontinued.

This particular S2000 had been kept aside as a showroom piece but it seems the avid unnamed enthusiast managed to twist the dealership’s arm enough to get them to let go of it. The price at which the vehicle was sold for is also a mystery.

The last run of S2000s in South Africa sold for R369 500 and made use of the naturally aspirated 2,0-litre four cylinder engine which delivered 177 kW and 208 N.m.

Rumours that a new Honda S2000 is on its way surfaced not too long ago. It was suggested that it would be a mid-engined hybrid roadster similar to the current NSX but a recent trademarking from Honda suggest that it could in fact be called the ZSX instead.

I saw a yellow one last night on the way home from a Club meeting.
Parked off in the N1 City McDz. Stanced to heelll unfortunately. Also had a blow headgasket and a very tired sounding motor.

Had a very pronounced "tick from the timing chain" area.

Sad Sad Sad sight it was

Propshaft and diff are both strong

When a 'buying guide' gets it this wrong on probably the only notable weakness (IMO) of this car. :crylaugh: :crylaugh:

*Cries in vtec*

I miss mine every day.

Also it's common knowledge that the S2000 diff is made out of week-old cheese.

Nope. Came across it at the Cape Classic Car Show today.
