Ok, it's not quite another Evo, but i'm sure you'll agree she's stunning!

Pick up my Honda S2000 on Monday

Nice!!!

What's the insurance like?

£750 or so, not much for a 22 year old

ooo, very nice........coppers earning good wages now adays then

got any plans for her?

Really nice mate, no space for the babi and mum tho?..Maybe the Mum lol.

Alex, I wish mate!

Kash, she's now an ex so I don't have to worry about them anymore

Sorry to hear that mate, well you can pull now in that beast in the summer . Roof down, music up .

Damn right

Bought it as a wee present to myself. Can't wait to take it out properly! 240bhp to the rear wheels, will take a bit getting used to after 4 wheel drive!

pre 2006? not that bang g will matter to you anyway flashing the cash on cars

excellent taste in cars and such a young age for the list of them!

vtec y0?

So whats next

Love the S2000

stunning car mate, i love this car, if i were to buy a cabriolet (sorry for spelling if wrong) or a coupe, the S2000 has to be it........

very nice.....

Thanks for the comments folks! Picking her up tomorrow instead now, can't wait!

ahh the honda death 2000! savage cars, but great fun. a friend of mine has one and hes scared to take it out on anything other than a nice warm sunny day, coz its aparently uncontrolable in slippery conditions

great looking car mate, but be careful!

Looking good matey, I'd love a soft top!

Ad

Love it! Vtech sounds quite funny but other wise its a dream to drive. Plus, loving the looks I'm getting

they they rev like hell dont they! really do start to scream after a while.

enjoy the car and the attention

vtec no a childs computer, come on son

9k rpm ain't it?

Dont our BA's have some sort of Vtec? I heard it was VRIS. Or is this something totally different?

vris is veriable reasonance induction system. basically alters the length of the intake to give best power and economy. fairly common these days a lot of manufacturers have them under different names, so not all that special.

hondas vtec system is a veriable valve timing system, stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. not sure exactly how it works but it allows the timing on the intake cam to be changed, so it can stay open longer more fuel rev higher etc.

there are similar systems about by other manufacturers but not as many as the VRIS.

interestingly veriable valve timing was invented by honda in the late 70s and Honda claim never to have had a vtec engine fail!

Thats true apparently. Honda never having a Vtec system in for repair.
It works with oil pressure, changing the valve spec according ot revs/oil pressure.
Wonderful idea, and the bonus is its reliable too.

Nice car Sean, you big hairdresser you.....

yea it has like 3 cam lobe thingy's if I remember correctly from a simulation on how it works the oil pressure engages the 3rd lobe that has mroe agressive timing or something along those lines i think

Have to say, what a weird day! Went to Crail with the car and decided to drive in, poser style, with the roof down. Chat to my mates for a bit then off onto the strip.

After a few runs, a guy comes running from the crowd and first thing he says is "I've had a boner since you drove in!". Looking weirdly at him I had to clarify if it was me or the car and, fortunately, it was the car! He then started asking me all these questions about it and I drove off for my run.

Later on, same guy comes up to me and begs me to race him in his Civic vti. I agree and he runs off to get his mates. He puts one in the car with a video camera, one on the start line with a picture camera and another with a video camera. As I'm racing him I gave him a wee wave as I ripped away and after the race he came up and shook my hand, thanking me?!

No doubt he's locked himself up in a room somewhere doing stuff with the footage..... yeeeechh....

Bearing in mind this guy was like 30 years old! lol

double post

think this maybe explain it slightly

here we go, vtec explained

VTEC video

so i was pretty much right then? woohoo!!!!!!!!

what did it run then sean?

don't you need a helmet with them? or just when the roof is down? i mind some guy in a mk3 mr2 year back or so had one on

Yeah we had to wear helmets. Didn't know till me got there and they charged us a fiver deposit for each helmet. Thing was, they were absolutely minging! Once you took the helmet off all this weird stuff kept falling out our hair and we had to jump in the shower when we got home. I couldn't get the power down, a couple of times the wheels just spun and the car began going sideways..... fantastic fun! Think the fastest was 15.3 or so

What is the oppisite of fanny magnet

I can relate to the mingin helmet thing. When I've been karting and borrowed one it usually smells of sick....

S2000, oooo you lucky man you! My mate had one of those after his VX220... What a car! He did get bored of it though as he kept scraping the front bumper on everything, so he ended up getting a scooter. But the couple of times I had a ride in it, wow... I messed my pants more than once!
