like the ctr. people would go crazy for either the jdm or edm one. the US just doesnt have a market for toy cars right now.

sucks big time. they gotta look out for themselves now. economy is bad and dumping all this money in the nsx project just did not seem worth it to them i guess.

they arnt dead... theres ton of them on the road

anyways its about time the s2000 has been in production since 1998 and hasnt changed "that much" it had its run... a redesign will come eventually or something else will come out hondas development to play!!!!

it might have been released in japan in 98. i just remember seeing the prototypes as 98's and it was called the ssm or something like that. i was lookin for one when i sold my gsr and didnt come across a single 98, they were all '99+

but i would love to see those wheels

yea the bbs wheels only came on the prototypes in 1998 or a 99-00 optional wheel. so were saying the same thing hahhaha

jdm free · 01-27-2009, 12:12 AM

ronnycage · 01-27-2009, 12:14 AM

those are the wheels... they are sickkkk I nearly landed a set last week but funds are short just had oral surgery last wednesday.. hopefully income tax and a work bonus will yeild some new wheels

they weigh a total of 17lbs lighter combined on all 4 as they are forged compared to the cast stock usdm enkei garbage that I have 2 sets of lol

jdm free · 01-27-2009, 12:16 AM

they would be sick for auto-x wheels

highly coveted for the A-stock class.

for my class I can run whatever but the stock wheels "IMO" have a offset that I respect personally. I may go aftermarket but I like the jdm wheels ALOT.

jdm free · 01-27-2009, 12:21 AM

cant forget this s2k...

SovXietday · 01-27-2009, 12:27 AM

I know right now Honda is in "safe" mode, cutting the cars and projects that aren't selling well/won't be big sellers. Afterall it is business survival first and small sports cars really aren't big sellers. Heck, the S2000 is lucky it made it through 09, never was a very big seller unfortunately.

I guess we'll see what they come out with in the future, I just don't see Honda not producing a sports car when they have the option.

ronnycage · 01-27-2009, 12:30 AM

they really didnt sell alot due to the trans clatter and location of it. thats a big thing that deters potential buyers... the newer ones have tried to eliminate it but its there... sounds like crap with the top up... top down non noticeable.

Loved the s2k. Great cars
