Actually my friend who is a certified Honda tech and who owns his own "race shop" here in Arizona...stated that when my S was in the air there was an excessive amount of clutch powder on the breather opening. What is that all about. I don't drive the car hard on the street only the track. And in the 8 thousand miles we have on the car we have taken it to the track maybe 3 times. Racing only about 4 times maybe per time. He said I should have HOnda look at it and that it was not normal. But I don't want to bring it into my work and have them complain that I have raced the car. They give me crap all the time. We spent the freakin' 30K on the car let me drive it how I want. Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced that. We have an '03.

 

I had a problem with MY03, clutch slipping at 3100 miles and a bad second gear grind at 3500 miles, 5200miles and again at 8100 miles. Honda said they "could not duplicate the problem" and gave it back. It's been to 3 different dealerships to diagnose with no help so I gave up... f--k them, unless it's major service or warranty work (which they'll more than likely deny) I'll do it myself.
