Bolt On S2000
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
Just stumbled upon this pic of a very wild S2000. It features a very aggressive bodykit with lots of bolt on parts like the Amuse rear bumper, Spoon hardtop and very wide fenders. The wheels are a set of aggressive looking FN-01r’s made by 5Zigen, they look to me like 17″.

The Ultimate S2000 Bolt-On
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
There’s no doubt that the Honda S2000 is an amazing platform for tuning, especially with its 240hp, 9000rpm F20C. But ultimately, the S2000 has limitations that were imposed by the manufacturing, comfort, safety and cost targets that Honda had to reach. The World Class Motorsports never had to deal with any such issues when creating the Ultralite S2K. Continue reading after the jump!

Craftsquare New Mirror Shape
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
I’ve been a fan of craft square mirrors for what feels like forever now. The design has never really changed in the past decade, and yet they still look as functional and fresh as they ever did. That however didn’t stop Craft Square from developing a new shape. Will this ever see its way onto street cars? Perhaps. You can bet it’s functional—the Xanavi Super GT car runs them.

Ok, so it looks like this one has been bouncing around the web for a while now, but it’s new to me! Three more pics after the jump, including a photo of the Pit. Yow! Via 8thcivic.com

Modulo S2000 Concept Car: A Detail Nobody Noticed
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
Honda Modulo released a concept S2000 at Tokyo Auto Salon. Personally, I thought the car was really ugly. The chunky design reminded me of a Lamborghini Reventon, except a totally uncool and ugly one. The rear of this S2000 is especially awful and I’m glad to not be showing it to you.
However there was something totally amazing about this S2000 that almost nobody caught. Look at the gauges. Being an S2000 enthusiast and owner, this blew me away. They replaced the entire cluster with a full LED screen that has two modes, the classic tach-centric view that S2000 owners already know and love, plus this split view which is a more conventional readout, with the ability to toggle between the two totally different views. That cluster totally makes the car special to me, its a product that I’d love to get for my S2000! Unfortunately Honda Modulo never releases any products…oh well.

Check out loxxrider’s epic picture post over at VWVortex, which documents his trip to Gainesville Raceway this weekend. I loved this turbo s2000 by Central Florida Turbo with the serious wire tuck. And don’t miss the white xB part-way down the page.

Honda Cuts More Projects Including New S2k
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
Damn. Just a few weeks after we reported that Honda had halted developed of the next gen NSX, there’s word that they are scrapping some of their other projects as well. According to an article published on Autoweek.com, Honda is stopping development for the S2000 replacement, the CR-Z sports hybrid, and rear wheel drive luxury sedans that would be powered by a new V8 engine. The toughest news has to be the demise of the S2000 replacement, as it’s been one of the most popular Japanese sports cars out there since its debut 10 years ago.
The last time Honda really updated the S2000 was back in 2004, and it makes you wonder how long the aging model will remain in the lineup. As expected, Honda cites the poor auto market as the reason for these cuts. Sad news, but at least this guarantees the popularity of the current S2000 model for quite a while. Now might be a good time to pick one of those up if you were waiting on the now-dead replacement.

Tom's S2000
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
I consulted with Tom and supplied him the parts to build his dream S2000 about two years ago. This project from the beginning I knew would be special because Tom is someone who like myself is a real lover of high end JDM quality. No shortcuts were made, this car was prepared with simply the best of everything from the frame up. Continue reading…

Honda S3000
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
Road & Track claims that Honda is working on the successor to the S2000. Rumor has it that it may come with a 3.0 or 3.5 liter V6, but it’s all speculation at this point. Still, I hope that Honda keeps the roadster alive.

Vin Diesel Slams Guy Onto Bulletproof Automotive S2000 (my car)
By Ben Schaffer
Bulletproof Automotive
I loved the stories that people made up when I said that Vin Diesel broke my car earlier in the year. Sure my car was broken a bit, and I showed readers of this blog a photo of the aftermath, but I couldn’t at the time say why it was broken on set. People started assuming that he drove it into a wall and all sorts of crazy stuff!
Anyway, the trailer for Fast and Furious was released recently and my car was in the trailer (very briefly). I thought I’d take a couple freeze frames from the trailer to explain now more of the story.
So as you can see, Vin takes this guy, picks him up by the neck and slams him onto my car. This was apparently done take after take (I feel bad for that guy getting slammed over and over again). Anyway, the scene involves more than just that, and from what the guys on set reported to me, it sounds like it’ll be a really cool scene to watch. For now the trailer with the dude getting slammed down will have to suffice.
