Car won't start..
I have had this problem happen about 3 times now and its getting worse and worse...
I turn the key over...the stereo comes on..wipers come on, top can go down, headlights go on, everything! I push the clutch in, push the start button and all I head is the clicking sound of the start button but no engine "roar" and the stupid seatbelt beeping noise! Anyone have any ideas? I will run into a shop for 5 mins, come outside and the basterd won't start, so it can't be the battery I don't think? Should I take it to honda? gahhhhhhh PLEASE HELP!

It's your battery. Mine died after about 4 years just like this. Would start in the morning. Drive for 20 minutes, come back out and just clicks. Let is sit a while, and it comes back.

I don't think its my battery, because even when I jump it it won't start, I just used a battery "plug in to the wall with cables" and set it to engine start, then I went to my car to go try to start it and it wouldn't go....and when I got all my fluids topped up at mr.lube a couple weeks ago they said my battery was good.

If you've never replaced your battery...it's your battery. The "plug in the wall" is not jumping your battery. That's a way to charge a battery, but if you're battery's shot it still won't keep it's charge. Try truly jumping your car with another car battery, that way you can get the cranking amps from the good battery.
If it doesn't start, it might be your starter.

It's likely your battery. Take it out and have it checked, in the US Sears offers free battery checks and so do most garages. If the S2000 is your only car I would pop the clutch to get it going and then drive straight to the Sears, or whatever you use.

It may be a bad connection at the terminals on your battery. You should try removing the terminals from the posts, clean them up with a wire brush or steel wool and reinstall them tight. You can't tell if the connection is good just by looking at the battery.
I agree with everyone else, however I'd try this before dropping money for a new battery. If that's your original battery, it's time to get a new one anyway.
