Kinda disappointed the new S2000s have VSA.

Ive driven several cars with some sort of traction control and although there may be a on/off switch, the traction control will always remain on for "emergency" situations. I understand this is done for the overall safety of the public.

So is there an easy way to have the VSA removed? Would it be as simple as swapping the ECU out for a 2005 and earlier ECU?

 

Were you planning to buy one?

 

the Honda dealership.

Just planning ahead.

 

I'd say get an 05 if there's still any left, but knowin Hawaii... good luck.

 

is the 06 s2000 with Drive-by-wire as well? I read something about the new civic and the 06 s2 coming with it

 

The new 06 S2000 is DBW as well. If you do not want VSA I'd start looking for a 04-05 S2000.

 

where did we find out that its going to be drive by wire?

The brochure.

 

so no clue huh?

 

VSA uses the wheel speed sensor attached to the ABS system. Just disable ABS.

 

^ yeah thats smart

Give it some time, i'm sure there will be some sort of mod or trick to fix it

I drive an '02 Comptech SC S2000. Raw as fuq.

But yet the jury is still out on the '06. I could become a fan of VSA so long as it's done right (e.g. Ferrari).

Is it really much different than disabling another safety feature?

The only time where I can see VSA becoming any sort of problem is on track, in which case, disabling ABS isn't a big deal.

I see absolutely no reason to disable VSA on the street. Maybe I don't do enough burnouts and mad driftin while trying to impress little girls so it doesn't bother me.

 

I wouldn't disable the abs for track use. IMO its very bad for any beginner or even intermediate
