2002 Honda S2000 survives drifting, but the CAR WIZARD can't get parts for it?!?

[@stevennash530]

That poor S2K. One of my favorite cars ever. That body work breaks my heart.

[@the_frankc]

As a previous owner of an AP1 S2000, that thing is hurt. - The front fenders are boogered because of how tall of a tire he has on it and the wheels being the wrong offset - Those are cheap wheels that are definitely not a fit for an S2000, hence the huge rear spacer to make them fit - S2000 guys are HUGE about replacing their Time Chain Tensioners (or TCTs) and a guy called Billman on the S2K Forums is the main person they purchase them from, he makes a specialty TCT that S2000 guys SWEAR by. A new TCT also helps to quite down the motor noises - Early AP1 S2000s are also know to crack intake valve spring retainers with a mechanical overrev, so sometimes those noises can make owner paranoid and change those later AP2 retainers as they were less prone to cracking - Pre-2005 S2000s can remove their Catalytic Converter and not throw a check engine light - Even with that car having it's butchered fenders, tacked on rear flares, high mileage, terrible fitting wheels and tires, it's definitely still worth 10k

[@southpark6757]

My 2001 S2k steering did the exact same thing. There is a fix online. It's where the torque sensor is. Disconnect the steering and that part from the rack, take it apart. All it needed was to be cleaned and regreased. Going over a year now and still works perfect.

[@turquoisecat761]

Whoever did the shoddy body work ruined it. The S2000 on Wheeler Dealers also needed a new steering rack as the old one was corroded.

[@volvo09]

Agreed. If I had that car I'd clean it up and find nice stock parts to restore it. If the owner throws more junky discount "modz" on that thing and cuts it up it'll soon be worth as much as a used Camry... the next owner will pick it up to use it as a track car, or has to source thousands in rare stock parts.

This looks awful compared to my brothers S2000 which has well over 200k miles on it..

[@aaryeshg.6526]

Doesn't the S2000 have underbody panels? Edd on WD mentioned it as well. I think the water and crap from roads get into the rack's motor and corrodes it. This S2000 has holes under the front bumper for the panels but obviously it's been scrapped and got ripped off and never been put back.

[@Orelionsworkshop]

I was able to get in one of those in the car show of Paris back in 1997 when they presented the prototype(kept the mass production identical) and said "one day I'll have one". Proud owner since 6 years, what an amazing sports car!! Thanks for the review Wizard, I really enjoy your vids!

It makes me wince to see a rare broken part like that steering rack being consigned to a scrap heap. On popular, valuable cars like the S2000, sooner or later rebuild/remanufacturing businesses will appear when the supply of new and working parts dries up. What was once worthless then becomes something with considerable residual value.

I had one of these, a 2002 S2000. Entirely unmolested, purchase from original buyer. 26M miles. Had to sell it because the wife could no longer get in and out, This car was the most fun to drive of all the cars I've owned in my lifetime. Big regrets that I had to sell her.

When I was in middle school (1999) I walked by a doctor's office everyday to and from the bus.

The amount that thing is worth now is a bit depressing though.

[@AMS8040]

Try a bottle of lubegard biotech engine oil protectant to get rid of some, if not most of the engine ticks. I was a transmission mechanic for over 10 years, and i have seen lubegard work miracles. With transmission shifting problems...when the only other fix would have been a valvebody pull, or a complete rebuild...sometimes it could be fixed with a service, and a bottle of lubegard. As for engines...EVERY LS engine that i have used lubegard biotech in, has lost its famous LS tick...or most of it. If you have a engine tick, just TRY the 15oz bottle with a oil change, ONE TIME. Then drive it around the block, and i dam near guarantee, the engine tick will be quieter.

There’s a “secret compartment” in the S2000 interior as well. If you pop open the center storage bin, where the trunk release button is located, there’s obviously some storage space located right in here. But if you reach up under the lid located above that space, you’ll find that it opens as well.

As an owner and admirer of many cars that are nearly as old as I am (think mid-80s) and/or are from foreign markets (mostly Japan), I am well used to parts being NLA. Sometimes you can find internet people who can rebuild things like wonky steering racks or leaky air suspension systems but other things, especially glass, rubber, and consumables such as brake lines or pads, can be tricky. Toyota briefly reproduced some gen 3 Supra parts recently (mine needs all new weather seals and its 7MGTE rebuilt) so hopefully that trend continues with other makes and models.

those spacers on the axles are actually "axle savers" they dramatically increase axle life. when youre hitting corners hard and going through "bumps" the axles will pull in and out and create heavy wear. and thats ultimately what blows out CV's more then anything.

The s2000 is not the only Honda climbing in value. Pretty much all their cars from the mid 1980s through the mid 2000s are seeing increased values. Especially the 90s Civics and Integras. There are a lot of reasons behind this, from their reliability and costs to maintain, their racing aspect, being modern but relatively simple and the overall new car shortage. Then you have inflation on top.
