    S2000!!!! 20 years later, the Z3s, Miatas, and Boxters of the early 2000's look quite aged. The simple S2000 design still looks great!

      Wow, good for you! As years go by, they will likely become harder and harder to find, but the good news is so many people bought them to baby and use only in good weather, so I think there are still a good number of well-preserved ones. I just got one and have been chatting with two people who did the same recently. Prices going up, but still around and worth every penny!

    you forgot to mention that the s2000 was assembled exclusively in by the dedicated employees at only one location at the Takanezawa factory in Tochigi prefecture, Japan. The s2000, like the ITR had hand polished cylinder walls and 50/50 weight distribution due to its longitudinal engine. Whats even more crazy is that Honda knowingly lost money on every s2000 that they sold but they did it purely for the passion of engineering and delivering out a true drivers car. In such an industrialized era, I doubt we will see an s2000 successor with such attention to detail. The s2000 will remain as Honda's icon car.

      okay... - 'til 2003 they were produced at Takanezawa; 2004 and after they were assembled at the Suzuka plant. You're both correct.* I have a 2002, owned since January of the same year. I've got less than 70k and as far as I know mechanically perfect, nary a problem (excepting window regulator in first year).

It handled like a go-cart and 6,000-8,400 rpms was absolutely wicked. It felt like driving an Indy car with a license plate.

      No, they're different things. The Type S has a specific suspension geometry that isn't shared with the CR, kept the thinner 245 tires, and kept the folding soft top as opposed to the hard top that the CR got.

    • @CrayonsYummyYummy

      +MrLighteningjoe Well in terms of pure speed the Prelude is definitely faster thats for sure. But the CRX started off as a spin off from the civic with a mid-engine front wheel drive which was quite different, and it handles amazingly especially with its super light weight. Then we got the CRX Del Sol afterwards which was pretty much Honda's MX-5. I actually quite like the Prelude, but i just dont think there's too much to go off unlike the Integra and Civic which had quite a legacy. It kinda remained the same for the most part till it got killed off by the Accord coupe which was unfortunate. Really wish they made another prelude, it was a great car nonetheless.

      And as far as performance, its still fun to rev all the way to redline, vtec is still fun to play with, the rear is twitchy enough to slide when I want it to but its never out of control
      The brakes definitely need an upgrade, vtec needs to be tuned lower (its so far up in the rev range its over right when it starts), and the exhaust I have drones like a motherfucker and rattles the whole car (bought it like that unfortunatley)

      I mean you can, but without FI its hard to make extra power, and new bumpers and panels and wings cost a fortune (and everyone runs voltex so it all looks the same anyways)
      tldr, if you wanna get your wrench on and custom your car, its better to get a miata and supercharge/boost it
      if you want a more refined car and are ok with stock, the S2000 is great
