true true, the handling is really great, just grip and grip and i think this down to it 50;50 weight distribution.

Still i miss the rotary sounds from the FC/FD:yes

S2k is a great car.  I was impressed by the handling of them.  Needs a bit more torque though ;)

s2k is similar to the handlin of an FD but obviously FD got more punch but the balance of the s2k is better in all area(ready to get flammed :))

Is that why Honda just revised it comprehensively to calm down the wayward rear end?

Can\'t believe FC/FC\'s are more expensive out there than S2k\'s... crazy
Title: My new machine
Post by: karl_tate on March 30, 2008, 10:57:31 AM
a few of my mates have them, one that is supercharged and another that is lightly modded and i think they are terrible handling, very unpredictable and i hated driving them hard.

I did a service on one, and the guy said I could bed the brakes in for him :D
 
Through the roundabouts it handled very well!!!
 
I love them

In HK, FD will cost as much if not more than a S2K, i m talking about the one with no rebuilt etc. i miss the FD tho, i still like the look of FD......!!

the rear end has been revised in the late model to make it not as sensitive.....

I do like the s2000, espcially with the turbo conversions, the carbon one looks mad
Title: My new machine
Post by: samfc3s on May 07, 2008, 11:10:51 AM
other reason i chose the S2K is that i m tired of fixing older cars, is always one thing after another!!

I went in someone\'s S2k for a tunnel run back in october 09, was a very quick machine, lots of fun, certainly a contender for the MX5\'s sportster title.
