Got a problem people and need some help/advice.

Down in CT this weekend for a buddies wedding and my S broke down. I went to launch it and something went POP!! Car starts and runs, clutch pedal has pressure, tranny shifts into all gears, Driveshaft is connected, axles are in one peice, but put the tranny in gear and let the clutch out nothing happens except the rpms go up and the the mph start to rise. I'm thinking the Differential is toast. Car has a brand new clutch, pressure plate, and lightened flywheel with about 3000 miles on it. I also replaced the transmission with a low mileage one out an 07 about a month ago. Car has 102,000 on it now. Need some thoughts and if anyone has a diff im pretty sure im in need of it.

Were you launching it hard? Do you launch it hard a lot? If so, I agree it's probably the diff.

Maybe a dumb question, but how is the speedometer indicating wheel speed when there's no power being transferred to the wheels?

Sorry to hear about the problem. I have a diff for sale, but it is an AP1 diff.

AP1 Diff (~40k miles, came out of a wrecked car) $450

Anyone up for rescuing this car?

Currently for sale at Morehead Honda in Newburgh for $25k. Car is also fitted with a semi-widebody kit, which is complemented nicely by the ridiculously high offset factory wheels and three inches of wheel gap. I'm sure the intercooler is real. Stylin!

Needs rescuing alright. Car is listed as CPO. I wonder if they will replace the bumpers (front & rear) and CAI with stock intake. I'm also thinking it may have a custom exhaust of some sort. Too much money IMHO unless that is what someone is seeking to do to their S2000.

Also prices for S2000's seem to be trending slightly upwards lately (summer season and all). Had I waited, perhaps buying one of these would be out of my range.
