Just curious how everyones S2ks are holding up over the years. I know they are Hondas...so the engines should be fine for quite a while, but then again we are talking about 9000 rpm screamers here.

I would also like to know how well the interior, exterior and paint is holding up to the elements, and how the car is doing in general.

An S2000 is in my future, and I would like to hear your stories.

 

Mine still feels\sounds\looks the same as the day I got it. The only things that have "changed" are a few extra paint nicks on the front bumper and normal wear on my leather seats.

 

Thats good to hear.

Do you have many miles on yours?

 

Bought it with 18k and I now have 30k. It's been my daily driver for exactly one year in like 7 days.

 

I know there are more s2k owners out there!

 

There great, I am on my 5th motor> Just dont drive like I do and you will be fine

christ, how do u have so much money to constantly rebuild blocks?

 

dont put so much emphasis on the 9k rpm deal. the piston speed in an s2000 at extremely high rpms is comparable to a normal engines piston speed at normal passenger car rpms. its happy at 9k

keep in mind honda has motorcycles tgat rev to 14000 plus.

yeah but your one of the main guys with the ***** to learn from experiences. your car is sick, and your making grea power...a young kid like me learns a lot from the things you post

as for my S, it has the normal wear and tear, but it still looks brandnew...

 

about to turn 33k, no problems yet. just keep up with the maintenance like any other honda and your good. now if you modify the crap out of it, don't come asking me why it didn't last 200k miles

 

70k and fine

normal wear on seats.. not much tho.. take care of it right and it'll treat you good

I'm turning 24 this thursday, I'm skeered...

 

another grandpa...HT is getting old

 

10k over here and everything is still running in tip top shape....all except for paint chips on bumper from daily driving but that is all........

 

Good to hear. I figured the s2k would have typical honda reliablility.

When I get one it won't be highly modified, maybe just simple I/E.

My hatch is modified enough for me.

muahaha


&lt;-----his S2k only has 6k miles on it.

 

drive it more

 

240-245 psi compression along all 4 cylinders.

 

53k miles and the car is perfect! I live in IL where the weather isnt the best but the paint and everything is still looking good. If you take care of it it will take care of you.

 

21?? How in the hell do you afford an S2000???

I know a 17 year old with an s2k. They aren't all that hard to offord granted you buy it used.

 

Anyone having oil burning issues? I suppose there aren't too many S2000s with 90k+ miles like my R
