I heard the '04 S2K's are upgrading to a 2.21 L and having softer springs.. and '05 S2K's are gonna be COUPE too. OH NO! What has the world came down to! A S2K COUPE?!!! Is this true?! Please clarifyyyy...... thanks folks.

 

yeah thats what the rumors say.
im 100% sure that the '04 will hve the 2.2 liter motor, different gearing, different instrumentation, different front/rear bumper, 17" wheels(maybe) and softer suspension.


im still happy with my '03 though.

 

i hope they come with a closed rooof ..then maybe i would buy one ....

 

I think a coupe would make a good compliment to the convertible (as long as they offered both)

 

Softer springs? I don't know if that's good news. Also I would like to be 260 hp, cause 2.2 L @ 240hp is 1000rpm less. Have you heard anything about the torque?

 

s2000girlracer-can i take you out for some sushi?

 

The rumors are true! 2004 model will be the same, but with the 2.2L i-vtec engine, 2005 will change to the coupe. The horsepower BETTER go up.. A coupe kinda takes the originality of what the s2k is known as. Bleh.. and so I cry. Yeah, I heard there were softer springs.. but who knows, I might be wrong.

 

I <3 sushi projectmiata A coupe s2k is all that's running through my mind. Well... at least I know that '03 is my satisfaction!

 

SO WHAT KIND OF POWER ARE THE NEW ONE'S GOING TO COME WITH? 2.0 WAS 240HP 2.2 WITH i-VTEC? MAYBE 260? 280?! WHAT YOU HEARED??

 

I haven't heard anything about the hp yet. Most likely it'll be 260-280. But if I find out, I'll keep you dudes updated!

originality .....huh ? ....you do realize the the "originality" of the S2000 came forth from this car ....not from any kind of hardtop

 

The August issue of Car&Driver had a small article somewhere about the changes for the 04 S2K. This is the issue where they compared the S2K, Audi TT, Porsche Boxter, BMW Z4 and Nissan Z Roadster. (The S2000 beat all of them! ) I'll find it tonight and list it here later.

Anyways, it mentioned the 2.2L engine, but it also mentions that it'll have the SAME 240HP rating. (Yeah, I know...that SUCKS!) Basically, they wanted to give the car a more "usable" torque curve.

Also, it mentions the slightly softer suspension...supposedly Honda wanted to make the car more "drivable". (Whatever THAT means)

And lastly, it mentioned that the front and rear bumpers are going to be reworked a little bit. The article didn't mention anything about the Coupe version, although it's still a possibility.

I don't know....whatever the case, I'll just keep my 03.

 

NEWS UPDATE:
2004 Honda S2000
October Arrival
Expect some minor interior changes and 2.2L Engine upgrade.
Rio Yellow Pearl to replace Spa Yellow Pearl.
Slightly more torque.


They're REALLY strict on posting any info on the new 2004-2005 S2k's online.. and I'm dying to know more! ahhh!

more usuable torque is a plus ...but softer suspension .....NOOO .....**** Honda and their "everything has to be softer, and more comfortable for fat americans"

Honda needs to make a S2000 R ... i would sell my left nut and buy one if they did

 

HOW FRICKING GAY! NO HP CHANGES?! SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF EVEN GETTING A 04? FOR THE "SOFTER SPRINGS" AND THE YELLOW CHANGE? WHACK.

haha ..yeah thats what i was gonna say .....though i could live with the soft springs ....they would quickly be replaced with some Mugen Low Downs ..or something nice and stiff

 

i want that S600 posted by tsunami..

oh yeah, and a blue 03 S2000..

but anyway..somewhere i've found a pic of the coupe in red. small pic, but it looked pretty good. i'll see if i can find it..

 

Oo! i wanan see the coupe! Okay folks... i'm anti 04-05. you're right, i'm wrong. you're dudes, i'm a chick.

 

anybody know if the price will be a lil higher for a '04?
what about the minor changes on the exterior?

 

i take the old skool for a ride

 

jeeze mai, this whole s2k thing is all you post about.

the redline will be dropped a grand to only push out the same amnt of hp, but the torque will go up. i think that is an overall improvement. but i bet those new -vtec engine can still hold their own at 9k. so just go to hondata with your ecu.

and besides, you see what i-vtec does for the k20's?

imagine what the f22c is gonna look like with some agressive cams, and high comp pistons.

now mai, start giving some people some technical help hahaha.

oh, and btw, i think they are going to call it the s2200 and no longer s2000

 

Early reports only posted a 5 lb-ft torque increase. Hopefully all this means is they detuned the engine slightly. We all know how hard it is to make power on the s2000, maybe it'll be a different case with the s2200.
