You had an S2K before?
Was it the Ohlins R&T you had that are about £2500 for the kit?

Any harsher than stock?

Yeah I had one but wrote it off 4 years ago. I still miss it. :(

Yes I had the R&T. They are much more comfortable than stock.

S2000 suffers with poor aero at higher speeds.
 
COG are good but very expensive! Bushes is a lot of labour intensive work, may be better using a known local garage for that then take it to Chris afterwards to set up the geo.

I guess, as I’ve not done this on one of these before what bushes do I need to replace on the basis of saying everything is seized so old ones need cutting out and any recommended actions for garages in midlands / northwest who have experience with S2000 ?

Sorry I can’t remember which ones they are. I think there’s a massive thread on the subject on the S2000 forum.

I think maybe Area motorsport aren’t too far from you?

It was tongue in cheek as it’s hardly the time of driving cars for fun is it.

although I guess it touched a nerve as the FD2 does just sit around I guess ?

The FD2 is used for track days mainly, but I don’t think I did any last year. I try and drive it once a month if I can. I was intending on doing more track days this year but that’s gone down the pan due to COVID-19. As has going for a drive in the lovely weather. So currently it’s sat in the garage with a flat battery. :(
 
I do a weekly shopping run and drop it off at the girlfriends mums house. It’s about a 10 mile round trip. It’d be lovely to do that in an S2000 but at least the M140i gives me a smile on the way back as there’s a shirt dual carriageway to stretch its legs.

Also my girlfriend thinks the S2000 isn’t good looking and looks dated. :(

The decent ones have surpassed the price point of a daily / winter hack in my eyes. The lower end ones are normally abused, patchy history and full of rust.

Exactly this, they so well and there's loads out there, so a complete minefield in terms of trying to find a decent one. And the ones which are decent tend to command a much higher premium. They're old Japanese rust boxes and not very comfortable for a daily.
 
I would be very weary about gearboxes in both the FK2 and FK8, especially if using them on track. Honda UK have also been known to reject warranty claims on them.
