can anyone enlighten me as 2 how comes honda never made a type-r verison to any of the s2k models? i mean, yea the s2k is a wonderful vehicle (looks, handlin adn power) but y wasn't a type-r version made like the civic, integra or nsx

 

i dont know why but u can find out what people think

search is ur friend...

 

Can't we just put Type-R stickers on our S's? That seems to work for a lot of Civic owners...

And the search function is down - has been for a few days now...

 

Just my .02 but what is there to upgrade unlike an integra they made a better engine a better suspension. Gave it a lip and a wing eliminated the power stuff and stuck a badge on it calling it a "R". The S2000 already comes with a bad @ss engine, bad @ss suspension, and if you want a lower lip and wing. Oh yeah they gave it nice interior. Know that I think about it it would be nice to have suede interior.

 

There is the Type-V in Japan...

 

I don't remember the magazine or book ( I think it was something like hyperrev ) but there was
interview about Type-HR SA2000 on Honda's SA2000 engineering group and the main reason that they can't make Type-HR SA2000 is that it is a convertible. They said that in order to name any
of their car a Type-R there is requirement:

1. Type-R should be able to run a circuit track without any preparation. Since S2000 is a
convertible, for some circuit tracks and race it does not meet safety requirement.

2. Semi-race car spec that can be driven on street. ( In my opinion S2000 qualify for that...)

3..Concept of S2000 was not focused on circuit track at all. So if they want to make circuit ready
Type-R (closed body or roll bar), it would not meet the S2000's original concept ( feel the nature
as you drive ). In another word for S2000 engineer it would be not be a S2000 if they modify
it to S2000.

So simply S2000 can not be made as Type-R because it is convertible and it was made as
convertible.

 

because the s2000's are already super sexy and crazy

 

All S 2000 are type R;
only missing the stickers,can buy anywhere for$0.75.

 

looks good as is

 

what could you possible do to the s2000 to make it a Type R ??

- better engine? how?
- better suspension? pfffft....
- removed sound deadening material? bwhahahahaha
