I miss that induction noise! Don’t remember the car being that controllable on the limit! Definitely an animal when you wanted it to be.

Sounds a bit ticky or raspy

The microphone is in the airbox. Cheating really.

Below 6000rpm you might as well be driving a Honda Civic they are that docile. Between 6000 and 9000rpm is where all the fun happens.
That Jekyl and Hyde personality is what always made the S2000 for me. Docile and easy to drive at low RPM but an animal when you want it to be. All at mostly sensible speeds.

This is my favourite S2000 video and really shows the difference between low and high RPM:

Sounds awesome!

With the air box mod they sound incredible and the Vtec cross over is so pronounced, probably one of best sounding 4 pot motors If not the best.

Sounds exactly like mine did with a K&N FIPK intake

i liked the induction noise, then the VTEC kicks in and it screams ! lol


i liked my Clio sport i had, i had a pipercross filter on, just loved that sound !

That is how mine sounds to my ears also, no need to put a MIC in the air box on an S2000 if the lid is removed/modded or an induction kit is fitted.

Yup mine with a k&n sounds very similar! Lid off was similar to k&n too.

I also run a hks exhaust.. with a decat the VTEC switch over is insane.

Mine had the rear silencers bypassed which seemed to my ears the best balance of noise and lack of drone. I tried several aftermarket pipes and they all droned like crazy.

The hks I have has got the "scuba" tank on it and there's very little drone. Compared to other hks system I had before and my mates Nvidia q300. Those droned!

Had to pick up a laptop charger from my girlfriends office yesterday, which was the first time I’ve used the car in nearly 2 weeks



Still bloody love this car as much as the day I got it. It’s pretty frightening in this weather trying to get any power down, but that just makes it even more fun.

Cleanish & no snow here. (thankfully)

Been messing about with some older pictures since moving my Lightroom library to the new PC.

Found an old picture from the Lake District and had a play with it.

Batteries are heavy.

I think it's a great looking (and decent) car, but my god those wheels are vile (and no, not just because they are partially black, the style is awful), they look like a cheap set of Wolfrace or similar from Halfords.

I like the wheels, would be a boring world if we all like the same things.

 

[Akagi]

I think the wheels look fine. A bit Citroeny in design language perhaps. But fine.
