532 mile S2000 CR - Not running !!

This S2000 only has 532 Miles.
The owner passed away and left the car in non running condition.
The wife spent 3 years with versions shops trying to get the car running with no luck.
Several had recommend it go to LHT, Well, It came.
We went right work and removed the unreliable parts, repaired the wiring and supplied many OEM Parts to get the car un and running.We turned this car around in 3 days. George I put in the time , care and passion, to make this come alive.
The car is currently being driven the 1000+ Miles home.
We're laden by the story but glad we could make the car run again.

Sad, that the husband passed away. And here is the difference between having the car tuned by a tuner who just made money on it, and LHT Performance, the excellence of Engineering, how fantastic once again to see how you fixed a really bad tuned car to make it a reliable daily. Knowledge and TLC is so important in these days and so rare to find. Good to know you guys. One day soon, I'll pop-up at your shop, be prepared for it 😂 Love you guys.

[@tortellinitentacles69years99]

That’s sad poor guy died and never drove his cr. Drive your cars people life is short don’t keep it fresh for the next guy.

[@jasond4752]

You guys are the guardians of good taste and excellence. Very much appreciate the content.

[@MetalsForBrunch]

if the car was completely stock it could sell for $150000 at least. beautiful car. my s2k has 126k miles.

[@chriskarsseboom2200]

When the CR came out a lot of guys thought they were gonna be worth money so they stored them. I owned an ap2 back in 2008

[@wolfparty4234]

My 04 has 162k. I love driving it all the time!!

[@Patrick94GSR]

Yeah I was going to guess at least 100k if it were all put back to stock. Maybe even with the mods still on it, it might sell for that much.

[@paulie2476]

Unbelievable there is a CR S2000 with this low of a mileage. Thank you from Sydney Australia. Always loving your content.

[@SilentCivilian]

What a great story! I hope the drive back to Ohio made her fall in love with the car and that she decides to keep it and enjoy it in memory of her lost loved one.

[@LHTPerformance]

I hope she loves it.

[@imcnblu]

It's crazy to think that, in just _ONE_ trip, she's going to put almost twice as many miles as it's ever been driven in its entire life up to this point.

[@warrenlancaster286]

I think I would be right in saying nobody would know more about s2000’s than you two guys anywhere in the world!

[@ozman1975]

Great work guys 👍🏼 These stories never get old, glad you were able to keep this car legacy alive!

I bet she was shocked after learning what her husband left behind. Great story! I know she’s going to enjoy her new car!

WOW..such a heart warming video. You guys are the absolute best. I wish the owner all the best luck and now she can cherish her husbands memory. LHT FTW!

This was one of the best cars yall had. I know she is super happy you got the car running. She most likely won't EVER sell that car. Good work guys as usual 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯

[@jngtruong]

Wow! Such a shame that a CR with such low mileage has been through this much work. Not my taste of choice but if owner can put the car back to stock, it will fetch good money. Great work LHT team. Wish you were in CALI.

[@itsjussjerry]

I hope she keeps it forever!

[@learnaboutcarsyt]

This is crazy, so wild to see such a low milage CR, wondering now if we will see it get auctioned one day.

[@redcivic1000]

That amount of beauty and rarity brings a tear to your eyes. I’m not crying! You’re crying.

[@Rob.Coleman]

A sad story and my heart goes out to the family. The original owner clearly loved the car. It deserves a happy ending. Great work as always 👍👍👍.

[@sushimaster100]

I hope she takes care of that car, it's the finest remaining example in the world possibly.

[@crxseth]

Wow, this is crazy. I wish it could be put back to stock. I hope you let her know what she has!

[@danlaclair01]

I skipped around the video, so may have missed something. Why can't it be brought back to stock?

[@Rippers-TV]

It can, that's just not what LHT was hired to do in this case. Owner just wanted it to run. Just needs some original interior plastics/dash/wheel and a hard top, and oem wheels. Only aftermarket stuff was cosmetic. That and gutting that soft top @@danlaclair01

It's a shame what this person did to this car. Clearly didn't understand what he had but happy they are bringing it back to it's original glory. That car is worth a pretty penny.

[@LHTPerformance]

One thing you have to remember, when this car first came out, it wasn’t anything really special. Every dealer had some of these sitting, they couldn’t sell, hence the value wasn’t very high. The value only increased overtime.

[@nozopoke1782]

@@LHTPerformancedo you think the same can happen to Miatas? They are cheap and everyone takes them fro granted, but one day they will be a rare find?

[@I.LikeCars]

Great episode. Wish they would allow you to turn it all back to stock again.

[@caseyrenner2061]

What a time capsule! 533 miles on the clock it’s like a blast from the past! everything is absolutely. Correct? It’s really need to see these parts again. It’s absolutely sacrilegious to put a soft top on a CR .Sometimes you have to respect all builds.

[@LHTPerformance]

I agree. I wouldn’t have done it, but you have to respect someone’s vision.

[@traviceo1075]

Sad and unfortunate story for the gentleman... glad you guys resurrected it so his loved ones can live some part of his dream... hope I don't leave unfinished projects like this behind 😅... great words at the end of video... makes you think... 🙏

You guys are truly special, and you were right the story is compelling. Hoping you’ll find an opening for my car. ❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ginon.7329]

Yup! Had to "rinse" it off for your "peace of mind" to provide some LHT TLC and it is a touching back story. Another great job and treated as if you guys owned it.

[@Tony-ui8eg]

wow, most people would not drive it and just let it sit to accumulate value. so glad she was able to enjoy the ride back home.

[@brianuy4463]

Sad story… glad that you guys were able to help. I have a 07 AP2 with 2800 miles. And I thought that I had a pretty low odometer…

[@jayAutoBeat4.0]

You guys did an outstanding Job giving that CR a good refresh for the owner to enjoy! What a great story & the husband would be proud to see the car running as it should. Keep up the great LHT TLC 👍👍

[@bane2]

You guys do incredible work and this lady was lucky to have you bring this car back to life. Amazing story and great work as always!

[@SilentCivilian]

P.S.- definitely not the lowest mileage CR out there, but certainly a rare find! One with 123 miles on it sold for $200,000 last year on bring a trailer.

[@CarsWithFrank]

Wonder if this lady realizes that

[@civicpride1986]

I am sure if she did she would had trailer it back home.. there was also a CR with 16k miles in blue that sold for 93k.. so this one will go for 130+ easily.

[@CarsWithFrank]

@@civicpride1986 Right! I kept thinking yikes that will be an expensive trip when every mile counts that low for collectors

[@civicpride1986]

@@CarsWithFrank Maybe she doesn't need the money and she plans on keeping the car and driving it, maybe it reminds her of her husband and she will not let that car go.. only she knows the true value to her of that car.

[@330arr]

Your videos are such a treat. Great work as always guys, reversing the mods. But hey! Easy on the dinosaur talk! 😅 I had RC 440 injectors on a turbo’d B18C1 EJ1 back in 1998. I didn’t do wrenching back then. Had a great mechanic though. Score on the mint OEM exhaust. Airbox looks new too. Shame the owner only got to enjoy the CR for 500 miles. I’m sure his widow is pleased you guys worked your magic.

[@qitstrn]

Speaking of no radio and AC. I remember the opportunity to buy a black CR new from the dealer for 29k because they couldn’t sell it without AC here in Florida. Should’ve would’ve could’ve 🙈

Thanks for the video and the great words at the end!😇

this is the lowest mileage one that I know of...mouse motors has one (non-CR) for sale with 950 miles. I imagine there are others < 1000 in private collections, but wow a CR with those miles...that's a unicorn for sure. great work as always, LHT!

532 freaking miles???? Damn what a steal at the time. I just seen a CR with ~24k miles sell in an auction for 92k. This gem would definitely sell for over 100k easy. Sad to see this beauty never driven for so long but damn at this point, it is almost a shame to wear in a peice of history like that

[@B95_P]

They sent the car to the right people and how lucky for them that ANY of the stuff you sourced was still available (or reasonably attainable). If they had waited another year, who knows.

[@nateoreilly6885]

Awesome stuff! We used the DSM green injectors. RCs we’re out of budget haha

What a mess! As a former owner of an original ABP CR, I’m sad to see what someone did to this car…basically parted out the desired CR parts. I’m glad you guy got this. If you had time this could be a great restoration car. But she’s happy to drive it home.

I remember when dealers (towards the end of the model run) were having trouble unloading these...especially the a/c + radio delete variants...

It’s probably an Interstate battery that gets a Honda label put on it at the dealer. Which is fine. There are only a handful of battery mfgs who have them rebranded as many more brands.

[@elliotbawden7205]

Can you explain why the s2k car is sought after. I have an ap1 and i don’t understand why the CR is so special. The specs are identical to a reg ap2

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s not identical, it’s like a factory tuned version. It might be worth a google and get some correct information

[@SilentCivilian]

The engine and transmission is the same, but the major difference is in the aerodynamic and handling performance that comes with the CR parts installed on the car. S2000s are notorious for the rear end "coming around easily" and that is not an issue with the CR models. Beefier sway bars, stiffer springs and different shock dampening, coupled with the aerodynamic upgrades, make it a much more stable car when playing in the twistys.

[@ApexClubRacer]

Holy crap!! That is probably the lowest mileage apex blue CR out there….

[@fast02gt]

Not really sure why you would 2nd guess just washing it real fast? Lady trailered it all that way and then is driving it back, damn at least wash it for the chick 🤣
