mrmackc Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks I got too old and crippled up to keep them tuned and repaired so that they could be driven, that I decided it would be better to sell them and have someone enjoy them, so they were sold.

EasyEJL Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I've always wanted to drive one of those Hondas, the 9000 RPM redline makes it really interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I've always wanted to drive one of those Hondas, the 9000 RPM redline makes it really interesting My bro-in-law worked at the parts dept of a local dealer when those Honda S2000 came out, they had several in the shop within a couple of months...people getting on it then getting caught off guard.

Dracomeister Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The Gen 1 (AP1) '99 - '03 were 9 grand redline. The only issue was that you didn't get any power until you were way up in the band. Over-reving was common and the valve spring retainers would fail if you went much beyond 9,500. Also they were noted for being tail-happy (they like to drift and they were not a car for the inexperienced driver). In 2004 they brought out the AP2 with a larger engine (2.2L), with a longer stroke (which increased the low end torque), dropped the redline to 8,200 and tweaked the suspension to make it a bit more docile. It still likes to drift but it is much more controllable. The issue with both the AP1 and the AP2 is that when you hit VTec at 6,200, you only have an instants warning before you are bouncing off the rev limiters and you are real busy trying to get the car back under you when that happens! Mine is modified a bit and I love cruising the mountain roads in Tennessee (OK, I admit it, I have ... exceeded ... the posted speed limits ... Uh, by accident ... maybe twice???) but most of the time the car is on a race track where if I get stupid I won't hurt anyone else. Incredible cars purpose built for fun!

98Z5V Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Turbocharged a Polaris Slingshot. @8psi it's putting down 264hp, 265lb/ft of torque, and it weighs 1,700lbs. It's a rocketship. Can't keep the rear tire hooked up. Off-idle runs, 4th gear from 1400rpm and mash... once you get to 2,200rpm, you were over 200lb/ft. Almost finished with the 2nd one, and we're running that one out. No cutting it short. Numbers will be different. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 It's a handful - countersteering is mandatory. Might as well remove 1st, 2nd and 3rd from the trans. It's just a smokeshow on the stock tire. Even in 4th, lug it down then get into it - when it builds max boost around 3,800rpm, it breaks free again. Countersteer time once again, with another furious smokeshow. It should be illegal... :)) I'll grab the GoPro for the next one. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
