S2000 owners thread. 9,000rpm of goodness in here.

Regarding the "UK Exhaust mod" is there a go to guide? We have full welding fabrication facilities at work, do lots of car related items and so on. If it's just a case of cutting/welding a pipe etc I'm sure our guys could have a go at no cost (to me :D )

Does it still pass MOT with this?

yeah no issues with MOT. All it does is bypass some internal piping.. I have a stock system with that mod and it's MEH.

not even the volume, the tone of the sound is boring.
 
It depends on how the mod is done. Larger bypass pipe and different angles produces different sounds.

Excuse my MSPaint skills.

I just replaced the timing chain tensioner this evening. There were no rattles or anything but it looked original and with 60k and 19 years on it, I figured it's probably worth doing.
Took me 10 minutes.
 
Dropped the S off for a gearbox flush and refill this morning. They are going to do the diff as well.
No issues but I can't see from the mountain of paperwork I have with the car that it's ever been done, so better to be safe.
 
mine went through an MOT yesterday, no issues to report other than forgetting to top up the washer fluid, annoying is its the only mark down the car has had in its history.:cry:
 
Finally booked in to see Raymond in Swansea for a new lid. End of Sept so plenty of time to sort some other bits out first. £450 now.
 
Was there any difference over there? Or literally the same but they named it the AP2 (TBH if so.. it does make sense) but yeah annoys me too that UK ads use the terminology
 
US AP2 is a 2.2 with an 8k RPM red line. The Yanks couldn't cope with the lack of torque from the F20C.

if you drive it properly like Honda designed it’s perfectly fine but people in USA seem to be unable to cope with revving their cars out lol

It will be the 2nd one I've viewed, and the last one was not good. So I have high hopes

Thing is it's 3 hrs away, if it's the one, I'd probably want to take it home instead of doing the trip again but I think he has yet to get the service done at honda.

Could discuss getting that done myself if we can come to an agreement. I got a quote from honda for a service in case
