This Unloved S2000 Has A LOT of Issues | Saving The S2000 Pt.1

[@WGK90]

Its a honda S2000, always yes.

[@dashcam2417]

Perfect car for views and subs . They have a strong following.

[@jess_o]

I'm not even a Honda fan, but I promise I will watch every second of content you produce on this if you do.

[@samcourt6228]

It deserves to be saved; they’re a rare sight on the roads these days.

[@paulmitchell515]

S2000s need to always be on the road ....... Go on.....give a decent drive. You'll love it

[@neilobusk]

yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes... and lots more yes and did I forgrt to say yes go for it Neil.. N x

[@2Drezik]

Actually 120hp/liter and is still one of the more powerful n/a engine still. It's already a classic, prices are skyrocketing, no brainer. She looks quite clean, be carefull with any OEM piece, even in bad condition, you could be surprised of the cost of some parts. Biggest risk is falling in love with this 🙃

[@djambrosia]

My trusty EP3 appears to share many parts but it won't be seeing 8k anytime soon lol. 100hp per litre for a normally aspirated engine was an amazing feat back then.

[@Ian-ic9lv]

An iconic S2000 that appears to have been treated like a Land Rover Defender pick by the framer owner 😂😂👍

[@Tribulation88]

You should fix it defiantly, only after you buy it though. Fix it, supercharge it and track it. That's what I call content! Good luck with the algorithm too!

[@roscoecoltrane6867]

I'd love to see someone fix it 'defiantly' (can't imagine how that would look), but it's more likely that they would fix 'definitely'

[@jondobbs]

Yes, would make good content

[@rcokeman9495]

Absolutely this needs restoring! S2000! Prices are going up and up

[@tomhighton120]

I’m doing a similar job on one now. Look underneath for rust and take the boot carpets out look for leaks. The rear bumper number plate insert piece is discontinued. That’s a high tax band car being an 06 so look into that

[@mattb4353]

Great cars and worth a fair bit now in good nick. Check for rattles, can be timing chain tensioner. It's a facelift so Drive by wire throttle. If it's a post march 06 it's got the big road tax so a bit harder to shift.

[@RoadandRacetv]

Thanks for the tips!

[@melaniezimmermann-jv7th]

The option to sel it in the U.E still remains, even with the Rhd... It's an iconic Japanese car, value IS Big.

[@AndrewwMK]

Lovely car. Totally worth saving

[@LearnToRace]

It deserves to sorted, 2 ways you could go with it, return to standard but will require some good cash in parts or this is would be a good base for a track car.......but I guess that's for the owner to decide

[@dempa3]

Looking forward to more videos on this S2000!

[@jlnrt]

big yes, otherwise for sure you will regret it 😬

[@richfixescars]

Can't beat an S2K

[@melaniezimmermann-jv7th]

❤ YOU SHOULD NOT, YOU HAVE TO REPAIR IT. ❤

[@robertmargetts5407]

100% buy it!, these are such great little cars and tbh the more issues = more video content it’s a win win

[@myaxavier-bj9yt]

I'd buy it when up and running! Go to it man!

[@larrybeale1710]

Rust, rear suspension adjustment bolts can be a right pain, VTEC actuators, and thats a larer one so throttle by wire and high tax band. Oh and boot leaks. I tried to find a good one a few years back but gave up and bought a TVR instead....so what do i know.

[@anthonyanderson9737]

Yes

[@gofres]

In short, yes. It's a car totally worth saving and would make for great content. I'd price in for a full respray and new interior though so very much low ball the offer.

[@TJSTR]

I need to watch this later but the answer is ‘yes’ 😂

[@Scooby2606]

Go for it, deserves saving

[@AB0BA_69]

S2Ks are always in high demand. Do the due diligence on the fluids and any error codes. I wouldn't even bother with the body work. Whoever buys it is likely going to track it anyway.

[@kl0a]

I recently subscribed because I was looking into 5 series for a daily and now you’re posting S2000 content (I own one as well). That’s awesome, looking forward to this series.

[@RoadandRacetv]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ian-ivey]

Probably. Depends on how much money you can afford to risk sinking into an unfixable car (risk on a barn car is substantial even with a Honda).

[@garybaldock5620]

Yes .

[@acecin]

Yes please

[@sammm700]

always fancied one of these.

[@sham27007]

The panel gap boot is wrong

[@Danny1282]

Great motor 😊 you will make it mint

[@lakhbirsinghpowar4542]

Defiantly yes.

[@philipanthony7531]

Good car for the channel

[@tuscantales]

Lovely - get it done. Or give it to me

[@andrewf7822]

Go for it, will make great content.

[@jonadams7608]

Yes definitely!

[@jackhutch8584]

Handbrake light on could mean a brake light is out. Some Japanese cars do this. Looking forward to some s2000 content

[@stevenquilter117]

What a great car Yes buy it 👍

[@melaniezimmermann-jv7th]

Is the E85 the replacement for the S2K ?

[@jezworld]

Yes please!

[@parvinkukar1259]

It would be great to see what’s it’s worth in this current condition, then what you spent including man hours and then what you sell it for. As well as you repairing it. Good luck

[@RoadandRacetv]

Great suggestion!

[@CovKid2K10]

Double check there’s been no rodents in it either. They love barn cars

[@RoadandRacetv]

Yikes. Will do!

[@04srt4champ]

Buy it.

[@CarFocused]

I’d say yes. But get the bodywork done professionally. Tackle the mechanical issues yourself 👌🏻 Could be a bit of profit for you in that 😉

[@allistairbarratt2880]

Yes, yes, yes 👍👍👍👍

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]

Yes. Doesn't look bad at all. Probably better than mine on 57k miles and I still drive mine 😂

[@RoadandRacetv]

Nice. You done any mods to your S2000?

[@hawkinsjd11]

Oh HELL Yes!!

[@jamestayler6850]

Track day car!

[@toxicdrifter8179]

Do it and compare it to your porsche

[@Griphook1]

06 plate = high road tax :(

[@Griphook1]

Oh and do it anyway though. I have a DC2. It's part of the family 😁

[@Ola_Uteligger]

Let him live. слава две Хонда!

[@hamsterbrigade]

Lol, m8 it's an s2000 of course you do it.

[@Reaper_064]

Yes!!!!!! x 1000

[@mickmurphy92]

Moog must have said Most powerful 2.0L naturally aspirated, not just most powerful natural aspirated. You had a 350z from the same era with 275bhp 🤣

[@2Drezik]

350z is a 275hp 3.6l engine. This one 2.0l with 240hp... So yes it's correct, still one of the more powerful n/a engine in the world.

[@RoadandRacetv]

Yes, that’s what I meant to say !

[@mickmurphy92]

@@RoadandRacetv s2000s start at 18k€ here in Ireland. Id love to be able to pick one up cheap but that ship sailed. Good luck with the channel

[@westsenkovec]

Absolutely not. This one needs bodywork, paint, perhaps rims, tyres, the interior is crap, it needs a new roof and God knows how it looks from underneath. Probably full of rust. It's cheaper to buy a good one than fix a bad one. It will never be as good as a decent example.

[@ashleykeohan9279]

How much is he asking for it ?

[@melaniezimmermann-jv7th]

Sell the Porsche and buy it ? 😉

[@jigglerish]

Tidy it up and sell.

[@vKurz]

No

[@jwrx7tt01]

Yes
