Traded my 01 s2k for a 02 Rsx Type-s..... I guess you are wondering why ? Well the s2k had more problems than any car i've owned. It was time to give it back to Honda. So, far i'm loving the RSX, and it doesn't hurt my back.

01 was a really bad year for the s2ks espeically with their trannys. Sorry to hear that you had to let it go. Hope you enjoy your dc5-s.

Welcome to the "club." Hopefully you can now enjoy shifting without banging your knees on the steering column.

Took the car to the track tonight. 15.3 at 93 mph.... 2.5 60ft's owned me all nigth though. not sure how to keep the car from spinning especially when i'm only launching at 3k. Anyways I figured it would be good for a 14.9 with a descent 60ft.

Well i'm 5'8 but I had a lot of back problems in the s2k. The clutch is very weak, and the transmission was fubared. I broke an axle in half, hub, rotor, and something else just by driving down the road. None of that was covered under the warranty. So, I traded for a 02 type-s straight trade and lower payments. I no longer have back problems, and the ride is superb and quiet.

You failed to mention the fact that it is very likely your S2000 was ragged before you bought it, as was discussed in the S2000 forum. Its all good though, the RSX Type-S is a respectible car, good luck with it.
