I know there isn't a point for it and its called ricer many times but I always wondered about this. I love the fmic look but would it lose power or preform lag if you have fmic setup and just plug the other side? I live in nevada and this desert is always making the engine hot and thought it would be a good idea or not? Or should I spend the money on a password jdm whale penis? Thanks for your opinion! ]]> Off-Topic djsuy http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12473-fmic-w-o-turbo.html 2000 Accord for daughter to intro. to world of Honda http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12472-2000-accord-daughter-intro-world-honda.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 02:15:22 GMT I'm looking at a 2000 Accord SE with low miles for my daughter. 4 cyl automatic, owned by the literally the little old lady down the road. Original owner and has all records as well as original window sticker to boot!

Transmission shifts great with both light/heavy acceleration. Paint is a little rough with some fading/clear coat coming up but body itself is good with only a few parking lot dings. No rust in wheel wells.

Oil change a thousand miles ago and transmission fluid nice reddish color.

No cd, so will have to drop a couple hundred for my daughter on that.

Has the 4 cyl F23 engine. While V-TEC, only a SOHC.

Insurance likes it, fairly cheap to insure as has airbags and abs.

Anyone have experience/owned a 6th gen accord or any advice to look at.

Thanks in advance, D- ]]> Off-Topic deusirae http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12472-2000-accord-daughter-intro-world-honda.html Attn: turbosix http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12469-attn-turbosix.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 23:55:28 GMT We had a meet today in Raleigh and a lot of different cars showed up but this is the first time these guys made it out so I took a couple of pics. ...

Painted the new rotors with caliper paint so they won't rust like the old ones. Snapped a few pics.











Will be painting the calipers silver/black in the near future. ]]> Off-Topic TheCarGuy2021 http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12467-brake-job.html Gruesome Honda crash http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12466-gruesome-honda-crash.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 19:01:45 GMT Check out the blood stains on the back seat.:drunken: ...

This one i'm looking at is $22k with 25k miles at the dealership. Is there anything I have to worry about or look for? Also is there a way to talk them down the price or they usually stay firm on their price? Thanks, also where do you guys get the picture thing of your s2k? Thanks! For example like this one below.

ordered and in mail:
getting the RS*R ExMag Gt2
Koni yellows
and lowering springs

any info or input on any of the above plz feel free..ill be getting pictures when i get it all done. it might be a little while, thought the parts are in mail, i still have to wait on lowering springs
:clock:

should be fun.
i know i asked a pretty general question about tein S techs a while ago, but im still kinda looking into a few springs.
my only question, as i couldnt find the answer on s2ki, is that with the koni shocks on the lower perch, would 1 inch spring on top of that be too much? still on ap1 wheels and tires

heck, anyone who wants to talk about the shocks can just pm me if you have used the shocks or have experience with them..because i have a few technical questions about them ]]> Off-Topic whitebrad25 http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12453-upgrade-in-the-near-future.html That was quick!

Any suggestions on what I should be looking at? The rentals were Honda 250ex with semi automatic transmissions and they seemed adequetly fun but I am open to something with more displacement :).

Budget is my biggest concern. I really dont want to spend more than 3-4k total on a couple of used ATVs. Think its possible?

I just wanted to post this thread to remind everyone to take a deep breath and keep their road rage in check, especially when driving your S.

This morning my commute to work was just rediculous from the get go. the Rail Road signs 3 blocks from my house were malfunctioning, and so I got stuck in traffic for 15 mins literally as soon as I left my driveway. I had to do a u-turn and drive 4 miles in the opposite direction and through a mexican ghetto just to get onto the freeway which was also bumper to bumper stopped.

At this point I was fuming and already had been on the road for 35 minutes, just for a 10 mile commute.

I was finally at my exit when a stupid illegal with Sonoran plates in an old piece of crap car decides to swerve into my lane and cut me off really badly. I had to slam on my breaks and wait for a way around them, and then as soon as I had an opening I downshifted, signalled, and started to pull around her. Of course the stupid idiot then decides to swerve BACK into the lane she just cut me off from right when I was next to her left rear wheel, completely oblivious to the fact that ANYONE was on the road but her.

I totally lost my temper, and cut hard to the right, and almost lost control of my S, putting it sideways between two lanes before I got it corrected and back onto my exit. I have been driving this car for 3 years, and know it in and out to the limits. But I lost my temper this morning, and I could have killed myself, not to mention the other people behind me on the freeway that wouldn't have been able to stop in time.

I know this was kind of long, but we all need reminders to take a deep breath sometimes, and remember how razor sharp the S really is. I pointed her sharply in anger, and she bit me in the butt for it. I was lucky I didn't crash, seriously very lucky.

Safe commutes everyone, Gooooooosfraba! lol ]]> Off-Topic SXY_S2K http://s2000.com/forums/off-topic/12431-take-a-deep-breath.html
