Really, that's news to me. I use both. Last set I got from TireRack was for the MG and needed to be mounted on wire wheels, not something Discount does. My last set for my truck I researched on TireRack but bought from Discount.

 

Rick was glad the service manager was the one who suggested it. He didn't want to ask. We have a long time family owned tire place in the area. They are another option. I know my son has purchased tires there. Rick's been purchasing from Tire Rack for some time now.

 

The air filters are a pig, yes. Crazy that the bumper has to come off. 4 year service is due on mine in the spring so I'll find out how much $$ it is.

 

I like tire rack. I have ordered from Jim on a few occasions. He is very helpful and provides great advice. I now work with the repair business that services 2 of my BMW’s. He is excellent and I like to give my business to local businesses.

 

Replacing air filters

Old spark plug

Driver's side plugs

Yes, removing the bumper to replace the air filter looks intimidating. Both the front and rear bumper are very well-engineered, and the rear bumper slide right out after unscrewing about 16 screws, and the rear lights are held on with two screws. If you have the proper tools, the bumper can be removed in less than 15 minutes. I have replaced air filters and spark plugs on my 991.1. Up next is the PDCC, not sure if I want to tackle that yet.

 

Actually I think my Honda dealer was the one who suggested I have the tires shipped right to the dealership. With the Subie I have them shipped to my house and just throw them in the back of it.

 

Wife found this today. A salvaged S2000 brought back to an entirely new life.

Joshua Opheim fixed the crashed Honda S2000, then borrowed elements from other cars

Joshua Opheim’s extreme Honda S2000 integrates aspects from some of his favorite cars. For one, the semi-open front fascia of the roadster, with its particular LED light strips, was inspired by Peugeot’s 9X8 Le Mans hypercar, a hybrid monster with 939 hp on tap.

The rear light bar comes from the Audi e-tron, and so does the idea of digital camera side mirrors. Also factor in the “mesh” patters around the taillights and you’ll probably get a stunning Blade Runner, cyberpunk, or whatever you want to call it vibe. Of course, if you’re more into old-school mods, this Honda S2000 rat rod “Model AP” might be more to your liking.

As some of you know, Audi offers this electric SUV with cameras instead of rear-view mirrors in markets like Europe or Japan, even though US regulations mean new cars still have to offer traditional mirrors. Well, the cameras for the virtual mirrors on this S2000 sit on the front fenders (hi there, Teslas of the world!) while the two screens flank the dashboard.

The F22C naturally-aspirated 2.2-liter four-cylinder up front, which offers 237 hp and 162 lb-ft (220 Nm) when stock, now uses top-exit exhaust like the McLaren 600LT. Sure, the British supercar’s mid-engined layout means the top-exit setup is more efficient. And while this isn’t the case here, it sure as hell looks cool when that VTEC engine shoots flames at the sky.

Oh, and I also have to mention the faux air extractors on the front fenders, which brings us back to that old Porsche rivalry. Plus, there’s a hardtop on the extreme Honda S2000, which conceals the roll cage inside. Heck, the cage job is so thorough that a pair of “X” sections replace the doors. Are you worried yet? Well, the driver and passenger can be well fastened to the Sparco bucket seats via multi-point harnesses.

 

Not my cup of tea but if he likes it so be it!

 

The back is kinda interesting, but the front not so much.

 

Talk about a fair weather car . . no doors and wide open front. Has a cool Darth Vader look but I doubt the original S2000 engineers are running back to their drawing boards.
