54k miles is spark plugs and valve adjustment

Looking back, I had the gear oil, brake fluid and clutch fluid changed when I had the oil service done as it was a pig to get in gear at times. PA said the clutch fluid was fifthly, thankfully it solved the issue.

Invoices as follows for the past two services:
22/04/14 - £309.90 invoice from Honda (labelled 63k service, the car had 15k miles)
10/04/13 - £675.56 invoice from Honda (labelled 54k service, the car had 44k miles)

So it's due the 72k service next, which is meant to include clutch and brake fluid. :D

2007 honda s2000 in WHITE, apparently a UK car, that is not wrapped or resprayed?

As far as i am aware the only uk s2000 that was available in white was the GT100 model, so either the seller is talking out his bum or the cars been sprayed/not uk?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-HOND...974?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3aa13a03ae

Or could it be a special order or something? First pre 09 white one I have ever seen?

That trader is dodgy as they come. It's the old S20004U joker.
 
If they are proper drilled brakes I imagine that they're an (expensive) option rather than standard. Good to see Brmbo capipers and front parking sensors (as an option I presume).
 
New Spoon (+5bhp) Radiator stays fitted as the old ones were rusted to buggery.

Also checked the oil, not a single drop used. In fact, it's not used a single drop since I bought it. :D

TGM are currently painting another rocker cover which I should have fitted in a few weeks.

Already checked and it's not clear.

I can see the part number for the 'cooling plate' but I believe this is a mild steel bar that bolts down to the cooling plate, spreading the load so the plastic doesn't break.

I think I'm going to try and remove it, sand it down and re-paint. I'll probably replace the bolts too with some cheap ones from tegiwa.

I source all my OEM items from Hendy Performance:

They're pretty good at finding obscure things and the prices are reasonable, ie cheaper than the Lings online quotes.
 
It's pretty obvious if you miss shift, the car will slow down a lot as you start raising the clutch, it's a very unnatural feeling. Pretty sure the ECU logs highest revs, so it's either a miss shift or not.

Surely you have to be pretty ham-fisted to slam it into 2nd from 6th gear (and also doing about 70 or so I assume?), and like you mention do some kind of millisecond-saving racing clutch-in-clutch-out job?

No not really, it can be easily done especially when on track! A little easier in the K20 box over the F20 as the S2000 box does not like box shifts. I've mis shifted in my DC5 a couple of times, but you definitely know you've done it and you can get off the clutch quick enough. If you're giving it hell for leather you could easily go very high on the revs.

But it's digressing, I'm 99% sure the ECU logs an over-rev situation, the dealer will be able to see this using diagnostics, so I fail to see how they 'think' it's a miss shift.
 
It'd have to be another IX.

Saying that I could buy an old V to replace the accord and use it as a daily, from two weeks time I'm only working 5 miles from home. :)
