I just love how the s2000 handles like a formula 1 open wheel car. It just glues to the ground. The way it was built, the center of gravity is perfect for handling. The weight transfer when braking and acceleration.
I have always said, the S2000 AP1 is by far the best s2000. I had a 2000 AP1 with a vortex SC, and it was a blast to drive. those were some good o days.....
@@FrancisD foolishly got a bug up my @$$ to do a e46 M3 turbo. That ended up costing an insane amount of money. 🤦♂️. Lots of power, completely useless.
@@FrancisD it is. Most of the poeple drive it hard and fast. Here its nice and slowly. Nice vtec crossover etc..... Im so in love with this car! Its my second dreamcar after the nsx. Nsx is out of range by now. Maybe i can pick one s2000 soon. Before the prices explode like on the nsx.
Only "mods" are intake and exhaust, and that was done by the previous owner.. All I have done was maintenence, wheels and tires and that's it. Super fun car to drive.
thanks man@@FrancisD . I used to own an s2000 but sold about 10 years ago and am thinking of picking up another one. Your vids make the car seem a lot quicker then i remember. Perhaps im just getting old :)
@@FrancisD no motor up front means the front firewall is pushed out, so you get much more leg room.. i’m 6’2” but, I’m mostly legs, so in the s2k I can’t get my left leg in a position where i could enjoy that manual and buying a sports car with an automatic is tragic..
@@FrancisD I owned a couple vtec’s that i got to rip on.. but doing it with a top down is probably a different experience, have been a passenger.. but obviously can’t drive it.. Owned an 88 crx B16a2 swap and an 07 si with the k20.. the crx was better.. lol..
On the Gopro video screen.. I just tap the super bright areas(the sky) and it would auto adjust the highlights aka the bright areas. Also if you have some cloudy skies that helps more too.
Have you had any issues so far with the car considering it’s high mileage, been saving up for one since they’re £15k-£20k in the UK for a decent one and trying to way up what to watch out for especially with the 80,000-120,000 mile examples
Have had exactly 0 issues.. Only issues were my own fault and driving a little too aggresive(exploded the differential).. Gave it a new refresh when I bought the car, all fluids changed, new gaskets everywhere valve adjustment etc. Been running like a champ.
P0138.. Secondary 02 sensor.. I have to put some steel wool in the defouler and that should clear it.. But nothing threatening so I'm not too worried about it 😬
This was enjoyable to listen too while I drive to work in my Tesla. 😆🤣
💀💀💀 I'm weakkk
OK, so a Tesla may be faster, but what does it sound like ?
@@johndean3475 like a vacuum cleaner
Still watching this even though I can go out and drive my own 😂. What an amazing driving machine.
One of the best machines made by Honda! With these gas prices, I think this is the best way to experience it at the moment 😭
Same here, you can never get enough dude.
Badass bro im glad to see another s2k owner not scared to keep the rpms up like you stole the bish
You already know! 😎
deeam! sounds so sweet man 07:08 wow chill buddy lol beast mode
Amazing machine that will probably never be made again.

It's one of those things that you have to drive to understand.
Love the vids bro don’t stop any time soon keep grinding and you have good things headed your way
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for the support man fr
hit that 6 - 9000 rpm power band and you will see why this roadster is unique !
Such an exhilarating feeling!

I'd love to have a Suoercharged one! Why did you end up getting rid of it?
@@FrancisD foolishly got a bug up my @$$ to do a e46 M3 turbo. That ended up costing an insane amount of money. 🤦♂️. Lots of power, completely useless.
was very enjoyable to watch the speedometer raising up to heaven!
It's addictive 🙂

It's literally art in motion! The Na1 nsx is such a beauty but yess.. Trying to find a reasonably priced one right now is next to imposible 😭
@@FrancisD in Germany the nsx starts at 40000-50000 and way above......
If i can buy an s2000 im searching one in the 19000-22000 euro range. Max!
@@gaboaaa23 yea 40k is same for nsx but in USD.. And 20k for S2k is very doable.. I got mine for 10k USD, definitely got lucky tho 😅
That Excursion limo at 6:28 is crazy
So funny you point that out cause that has been there for the last 3+ years(still there today)! Idk what the deal is with that thing 😅
You're a good driver man!
😄😄
Really? That downshift at 7:09 was cringey 😬
@@spencersgarage you got me there 😭😭.. Tried to heel toe downshift and I still need some practice with it cause I tend to over Rev as seen
What a lovely video
Love from an AP2 owner over here! Was curious what exhaust is on your S2K?
I'm honestly not 100% sure.. The previous owner said he did some custom work on the exhaust so idk but she sounds so good 😄
Yeah man sounds so sick ! Congrats! Gotta love the vtec crossover sound
Sounds like the stock exhaust with the UK mod on it. Sounds amazing 👏
@@TheJDM626 louder than uk mod with test pipe - that's what used to have
AP1 Love all the way!
One of the best cars ever made🙏🙏
wow!
I recently bought my AP1 and really like your POV. May I inquire you what stereo system you are using ?
Welcome to the Club 😎. I wish I could tell you, the stereo was put in by the previous owner so I'm not sure.
Can I ask sir, what engine/power modifications have you made to this S2000? thank you
Only "mods" are intake and exhaust, and that was done by the previous owner.. All I have done was maintenence, wheels and tires and that's it. Super fun car to drive.
thanks man@@FrancisD . I used to own an s2000 but sold about 10 years ago and am thinking of picking up another one. Your vids make the car seem a lot quicker then i remember. Perhaps im just getting old :)
Did I hear a voice crack/shriek when the S2000 bottomed out and scraped? lol
You most definitely did 🤣🤣 I'm suprised you caught that
Review on that radio lol. Shit looks nice brother.
Haha.. Appreciate it man🙏
Cool video man ! What exhaust are you running ?
Prev owner said he did some custom exhaust work to it so 🤷♂️
@@FrancisDu gatekeeping like u work for nasa, but understandable 😂
@@user39076 I'm serious 😂
Che motore! , che macchina! 😮
What was done to make the crossover sound so heavenly?
Previous owner put a CAI and I'm pretty sure that's why the crossover is very noticeable. 🎶🎶🎶
@@FrancisD I wonder if it has unequal length headers too
Nah, just intake and custom exhaust is all that was done before me. Everything else as far as engine mods is bone stock.
@@FrancisD Oh wow ok, it sounds amazing!
@@FrancisD CAI?
I just wish i fit in it.. they are super fun to drive, but i can’t really fit.. when i bought my Mr2 it was because I couldn’t fit in this or the mx5.
Mr2 can't be that much bigger than a S2000? I feel like if you fit in one then you fit in all of those 3

Oo that makes sense.. Well you can at least enjoy watching others drive and rip VTEC 😬😅
@@FrancisD I owned a couple vtec’s that i got to rip on.. but doing it with a top down is probably a different experience, have been a passenger.. but obviously can’t drive it..

I tried recording a video like this but the outside is super bright I can only see the Interior. Any tips?
On the Gopro video screen.. I just tap the super bright areas(the sky) and it would auto adjust the highlights aka the bright areas. Also if you have some cloudy skies that helps more too.
@@FrancisD wow okay I didn’t know you could do that, appreciate it🤙🏽
Yessir, your welcome.
Looks like SC midlands area backroads. Reminds me of Elloree/Bowman roads
Hold up🤔🤔 u located in SC?? 👀
@@FrancisD yes. Orangeburg
Oo wow your not too far from me.. Bout 50mins
@@FrancisD nice. I’ll hit you up if I decide to pull the trigger on an S2K so we can cruise
👌👌 I know a few ppl who has S2ks in the area.. Could get a group of 4 easily

How low is it, i heard some rubbing
That's when I had the 18 inch wheels on there.. Now with the 17s I have 0 rubbing
Fantastic would like to see a bit of some redline 😌
😎😎 Next time
Driving my 2013 civic SI, I wish I had a s2K lol
9th gen gang I see you.. Yea S2k prices r getting crazier making it hard to get 😅
🔥🔥🔥🔥💯👌🏽
😌😌
That thing just wants to keep going like a bad heroine addict 🤣🤣🤣
Literally revs all the way to the moon!! 😂
exhaust system?
Custom exhaust done by previous owner.
I am so fucking miss my s2k
Aww Mann I can't imagine 😭😭.. The S2k market is going crazy rn too😅
@@FrancisD especially here in China it only registered around 25 s2k. Right now the price is around 140k USD. Damn crazy
140K USD????!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?? 🤯😵 My goodness that's insane!
Imagine having this in a 2100 lb 2 seat mid engine car.
You referring to a lotus exige or something along those lines? Those are some hardcore cars fr
