true but it is only one solution, currently on one car with no track record of reliablity
FFS Mikey. The engine working is a "nice to have"

VSA was an option on 06 and 07
Came with all 08 and 09 cars.


Have a look in the UK Meets part of the forum to see what meet is nearest to you.

Is anyone else on here finding all of the recent 'widow maker' and 'if there are any left' comments rather OTT?
It's called 'sarcasm', or are we not making that obvious enough for you??

It wasn't aimed directly at your post... In fact, yours made me laugh. It just seems that there has 'a lot' of comments on here recently about the dangers of taking an S2000 out in the winter.. That's fair enough, perhaps it isn't hugely suited to potholed frozen roads but as long as people remember they can't drive their cars as they did in the summertime they should survive.

I would say the 08 / 09 car. ( Naturally )

Honda went back the 02 (IIRC) settings.

The 09 car is very very different to my 07 car.

What he said. I'm surprised no-one else is saying this. Agreed, not the best value for money, but definitely the nicest to drive.

I've owned an 02, and test driven an 05 as well before anyone says anything.

ive driven a few back to back on numerous occasions, it helps my neighbor has an 05 - on track i'd take a 99/00 anytime but for road use an 04/05 - the 04/05 is significantly more benign, but still has the fun factor. Neither is a widow maker but they are perhaps suited to different driving styles.

FWIW ive had two s2k and ive choosen my00 on both counts.
