HELL_ON_WHEELS · 10-27-2009, 05:39 PM

s2000isu · 10-27-2009, 05:39 PM

I wonder if you had an oil pump issue and thats why you wiped out your head.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 10-27-2009, 06:22 PM

who knows I'm just sick of it always having problems

Vezna31 · 10-28-2009, 08:26 PM

What are you going to do with the bad engine? Are you getting rid of the car?

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 10-29-2009, 10:31 AM

yeah right now I'm going to just focus on getting it running, anyone know where I can get a motor in so cal?

desmo4 · 10-29-2009, 12:00 PM

I have a clunk in the right front. Though it was a sticky brake caliper but beginning to think it is the suspension. Moving to Hillsboro OR on Saturday so no time for repairs. But Once settled in I must find a competent shop who can put it up in the air and diagnose the problem. I will probably change the front calipers as the right front is nearly seized and add new set of Mtech extreme pads as well.

Desmo we all feel for ya buy you are thread stealing and that's bad mr

Vezna31 · 10-30-2009, 03:52 PM

Adding to the bad times...I just found out my rear bushings are shot as the reason my subframes/alignment is not looking right.

JOECHY · 10-30-2009, 07:31 PM

sorry to hear that! i don't have to tell you that sucks! good luck with the repair and savng some $$ if you can't fix it yourself.

SoCalSuzuka · 11-01-2009, 10:04 PM

So, with all these car problems, I guess it's not a good time to try set up a drive for November, eh?

But, just in case you're interested...how about Nov 22, Sunday (I'm working every other Sat/Sun in November).

Hey Tim,

I will be at Infineon Raceway flogging the S2000 for 2.5 hours that day. But I bet you could get John out there with you.

s2kx2 · 11-01-2009, 11:02 PM

Hey Morg,

Call my guy Steve Sauls at Makestar Honda/Acura in Temecula at
951-699-9921 he will do right by you. If you need to have it towed give me a shout and we can work something out.

s2kx2 · 11-01-2009, 11:05 PM

I understand how you must feel Morg

I can recall you saying that who ever had her before you just did not show her the love you do.

Glad to help Morg, so when are you going to take her in?

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 11-18-2009, 09:22 AM

Vezna31 · 11-18-2009, 04:19 PM

I just got polyurethane bushings done this week. Also, had a client weld reinforcements onto my rear subframe. Gotta love the purple bushings...lol

chazdawg35 · 11-18-2009, 07:27 PM

Cool Vinny, can you feel a difference?

desmo4 · 11-18-2009, 09:53 PM

My new Mintex Extreme pads showed up yesterday and calipers showed up today. If it doesn't rain Friday I'll install them.
