First Wash in 6 Years! Abandoned Honda S2000 Satisfying Detail Restoration

[@aaron_r6611]

2:00 its a Helmholtz resonator, designed so that exhaust sound waves at a certain frequency go into the pipe and destructfully combine eliminating each other. the length of the pipe is in relation to the frequency that you want to eliminate, usually a drone point.

[@Cas_anova]

Thanks dude, I was wondering.

[@commbubba1990]

Nice Honda did that from factory.

[@Airbag1010674]

Technically that is not a Helmholtz design, it's simply a resonator. Helmholtz has a very specific and high aspect ratio shape.

[@keefgtp]

And they work very well. Helmholtz resonators are a sign of good engineering which only a few aftermarket companies ever bother with.

[@reginaldbowls7180]

@@ChrisNLger what does that have to do with a resonator?

[@thegukrew]

Big Larry - that bizarre little 90 degree is Hemholtz pipe to decrease the exhaust drone

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thanks for the info!

[@LukeEdward]

“Helmholtz Pipe” is something you never want to experience in prison.

[@mikecompagnoni]

@@AMMO-NYCit functionally makes the pipe longer and thus moves the drone center further aft outside the cockpit in the car. Neat trick and why many aftermarket s2000 exhausts create a lot of drone.

[@carlosvargasbatman]

The black wind shield surround is a vinyl sticker. It can be peeled off and replaced. Some owners choose to have it painted berlina black instead of reapplying it.

[@christopherthompson9642]

I think people forget about the $15-30k sports cars because KZbin is over saturated with $100k+ exotics. Glad you can appreciate a solid everyday car-guy’s car.

[@micglou]

Not only that... these kind of cars are much easier to enjoy, you can drive them on the limit much easier and will not scare the poo out of you... and you will not go bankrupt when you damage them.

[@AkinaSpeedStarsAE86]

agreed; sold my ap1 a while back and regretted it ever since

[@henry2650]

Oh s2ks are so expensive now tho

[@chuckyducky237]

@@henry2650 they’ve held their values pretty well, especially CRs and very low mileage examples, but they’re not as bad as people make them seem. Check out some of the recent sales on the auction sites - very nice S2ks can still be had under that $30k price point and you can find them for close to the bottom of that range if you aren’t afraid of a few miles.

[@leefromoakville3810]

Hondas in the 1990-2010 time frame were some of the best mass-produced vehicles ever made. Thanks for bringing this one back to life.

[@kevinmcd112]

I was looking at one of these probably 15 years ago after a few test drives. I never had the money to buy it. Today, they still cost what they did when they were new. I still want one. It would be amazing if Honda brought them back.

[@jpalasz123]

its like my 5th time watching this video over like the lambo a few weeks back.. even the white NSX is a rewatch..

[@D34Weez]

The best finishing touch on a detail has to be perfectly clear glass. Larry does that with such finesse.

[@subsonicbass]

Yeah I wish I could get my glass like that haha!

[@nickadkins7765]

One of the trickiest and most bothersome aspects of detailing a car! But as you said, Larry always knocks it outta the park!

[@gianlucabraghini]

The S2000 is a beautiful machine, glad to see it back on the streets, where it belongs!

[@TwoLittleMochi]

23:49 The A pillar is actually black tape, hence the cracking. Underneath the tape usually has the body color paint under it but it’s been sort of a crapshoot because while most of the time it’s a finished pillar, there have been instances where the clear coat isn’t even applied. Worse yet, there’s been cases where it wasn’t painted at all, but that’s hearsay - I’ve never seen it unpainted in person. Great video!

[@flaS2k]

I was just about to comment on it… just vinyl…

[@martymccord9875]

All can be true, but luckily nothing some black paint or new vinyl can't fix

[@fruitygranulizer540]

well that means you can peel it all off and just reapply new vinyl right? regardless if its painted underneath or not or if it has clearcoat or wtv

[@cap_1stuperman536]

You beat me to it! It's a vinyl sticker and it looks like it's time to be removed or replaced. And I've never seen one unpainted either.

[@lukasboy98]

So far I have removed 7 of them and only recently my last one had a blemish under the tape. Thankfully it just buffed out.

[@andrewfessler7203]

As an S2000 owner I appriciate you bringing it back to life! These cars are truly one of a kind!

[@francotinsley8293]

I crashed my 06’ back in January and miss it very much. Very fun car to drive and after seeing 3 videos pop up on my feed in the past 2 days, I think it’s a sign that I should get another one soon🤞🏼

[@nyernga]

A mid week video from the detailers detailer.........who could ask for more? HAPPY THANKSGIVING

[@GirlsYouTube1991]

Larry is the best detailer out there. Honest and love the way he does things. Doesn’t go to stupidly over the top. And makes cars look like mine. Brand new.

[@MrMustangrick]

I want one! What do these sell for?

[@pattithuell3381]

Love that you take the same amount of care no matter the vehicle!

[@AjayShort-d7t]

I had the absolute honor to detail a 2002 S2000 earlier in the year. It was unfortunately after it was repaired after hitting a deer, but that car is definitely at the top of my list of most fun and satisfying cars to work on. I can't tell you how excited I was when this video popped up lol!

[@savannahlt1]

Love these episodes where Larry brings a car back to life. His enthusiasm, passion, and attention to detail (no pun intended) is admirable.

[@papawheelie5835]

I used to own an AP2 S2000 CR. Drove it to work one day and a co-worker called it my "Barbie Car". He was both frightened and amazed when I took him on a very spirited ride complete with a few drifts. These little cars are no joke. Miss that one.

[@L3x4Pr0ne]

This car has always been a vibe. I think it still holds up in styling and interest to this day and I’m glad to see this one revived in your hands. I sometimes get more joy watching you bring these back than the fanciest supercars.

[@just_some_internet_guy]

I really have to admit, Larry has a very warm and caring personality. Always friendly and smiling. When customers see how you care for their car, they want to come back.

[@ChileVuela]

At 13:10, I can't shake the feeling that Larry was telling us the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything (or at least telling us the secret to squeeky-clean dash pads).

[@LOGEZZZZZBRO]

As an S2000 owner this video makes me extremely happy. Spotted this bad boy in the background a few videos ago and was hoping for a detail. Happy Thanksgiving, Larry!

[@JuanRosiles-p9r]

Best detailler in the world

[@cmira1991]

Great job Larry! Side note: About 7 years ago I tried paint correcting my Berlina Black s2000, and was having a very hard time. I reached out over email and asked for some pointers, and you got me through the battle of the endless swirls. Thanks again!

[@ril850_1]

So much respect and admiration for the way Larry conducts himself with his clients. The way he operates his KZbin channel, content, everything. Hands down the best auto detailing channel. I used to watch another guy but he’s always busy remodeling his house and garage. Larry is just real. Thank You! Ammo

[@bubblegaming1140]

out of all the detailers out there you are the best at detailing cars because you actually clean at every corners of the car with out missing a piece and clean them individually and you actually restore the paint of the cars

[@JoseSantiago-hv3xm]

This is sooooo satisfying to see this beauty brought back, kiss that dirt and grime goodbye and return her to glory! Absolutely amazing job Larry!! You have a way of firing people up to get outside and do the same to their cars! 😄🙌🏼

[@RealistRob]

I loved seeing this S2000 come back to life! I had two AP2s in the past and I miss them. Sure they weren't the fastest or most expensive car on the road, but the driving experience you got with them was next to none. Hopefully I can get back in another one in the near future! Thank you for the awesome video, Larry!

[@1lowf150xlt]

I worked at an Acura dealership back in 2000-2002 as a porter. One of the service advisors had an S2000. Once a week if I washed it for him, as "payment" he'd let me take it out for a spin after I was done. Being 20 years old and loving the car, that seemed fair to me. Like Larry said, it's not the fastest car I've ever driven...but it's definitely one of the most fun cars I've ever driven hands down. It screams up to that 9k rpm mark! So much fun. If It had been mine back then, I would have been in trouble constantly! Definitely a fun car to drive!

[@AMMO-NYC]

That's a great story! Thanks for sharing.

[@velvetjones1856]

I loved how these drove and handled. In the day, they provided a lot of performance for the money. I ordered a grey one from my local dealer. When I test drove it at delivery, the seat bolsters cut onto my kidney area and hut so bad I couldn't drive the car. The dealer said not to worry as they would break in but that was silly when you can't drive the car. I bought a Subaru STI later that day. I still think the S2000 is a great car and hope Honda comes out with a new one someday.
