So im upgrading From my 99Si to an s2000. is there anything you guys want to tell me? things i should look out for?

Were there any problems with 2000 models?
does it have an LSD or open diff?
Are thier any sub models ( for example like the Civic ex, dx, Si ) or is it just S2000?
I know i should know the answers but i'm new to the S2000. But i really like them and have heard only good things.

 

dont drive it like your Si.

it has an LSD.

no sub models.

2000-2003 is AP1, 2004+ AP2.

 

Great, thank you

any major differences between the Ap1 and the Ap2? i'm assuming not because you didn't mention any.

 

If you do a search for the word "differences" under the s2000 forum's archived content you will find about a bijillion posts about this.

the s2000 is a whole new world to a civic, be careful "learning" the car.

 

Ap1 = 2.0 motor with the 9k redline
Ap2 = 2.2 motor with the 8k redline but a slight bump in torque

If you are going to get an Ap1... get a 02-03 because it has a glass softtop instead of the plastic that fogs cracks and hazes over.

 

ap1 and ap2 also have different looks
like headlights, taillights, bumpers and ext.

 

obviously you dont know **** about the car you want to buy.. how about doing some research on it for yourself. instead of creating pointless threads thats been covered over and over.

Best advice Learn to drive the car, then learn to drive the car hard. s2000's will spin out, EM1 wont.

 

Thanks for the advice. Lookin forward to it.

You are in the same boat I was in last January. I sold my EBP EM1 for the S2k I have now. Good luck with it

huh? how's so haha.

 

I'm on my second one. First one hydroplaned on the freeway only doing 65 into the center devider and totalled the whole rear end. This one, a friggen racoon went through the grill and took out the radiator and AC condensor, and my girlfriend back into the side panel with her truck! What next?!

Be careful with your S2K in the rain. I Wasn't even doing anything but driving straight on the 215 going 65mph in the LIGHT sprikeling rain and the thing spun me right into the devider backwards

 

are you driving on slicks or what?

 

I wish! Have the 06 now with TCS, but it don't help any..
I agree. "learn" the s2K. It can get nasty quick if you can't handle it. take it to a big ol open lot and learn how to drive RWD LSD. Nothing like my old CRX's..

Learning what it will do in the rain is even better.

On a dry day it will hug a canyon road like flies on dogsh*t and the vtec is better than nitrous in a ZC first gen CRX any day. Has loads of power, and you'll burn 90% of the people you come accross with it. 6 speed is even funner than 5 too
Thought about the new civic SI, and still went with the s2k. now it's all battered up again already.
Only thing you should mod on it is intake and exhaust. You'll love it!

 

going from my ek to my s2k was a big difference im still not use to the RWd and have figured out that i cant drive it like i could my hatch. i looking for a nice parking lot to get to know my car a little better
