The Official Honda Thread!

Come on! There have to be a few Honda drivers on here!

 

Not a driver, but my dad owns an S2000 that he uses as his daily driver, and an NSX for weekends/cruising. I'll upload some pics sometime soon.

 

S2000.

I'll get up a picture of the NSX in a little bit.

Love S2000s! I have some photos of them I need to dig up.

 

My old Honda that I had in high school and part of college. I miss her.

Looks modified, what did you do to it???

 

Everyone likes to hate on Honda's. They have no idea how much fun they are...... and im not talking about the riced out ones either, those people are idiots who watch too much Fast and the Furious.

Here's my toy, been in a few magazines, this was about 2.5 years ago

The drivetrain is a JDM K20a, I recently bought a bored/stroked crower bottom end 2.289L, should make 270whp (310hp) on a factory intake manifold, nothing done to the head besides Cams and the appropraite valvetrain mods.

A bunch of stuff...

Had a custom t3/t4 turbo setup ready to go on when it got stolen.

Suspension was coilovers, urethane bushings and upper strut bars.

Wheels were Koing Heliums with Falken Azenis

Body was CF hood, shaved front and rear emblems and shaved antenna.

THere was a bunch of other stuff too, but that was the major things.

 

heres some more recent ones

I hate riced out Hondas, or as I like to say, tin-can tuners. Like tuned Hondas as long as they don't have to much visual mods. That is one heck of a CR-X! Has a lot of taste in it, the kind of tuning I like!

 

Just for good measure, a pic of my friend's engine bay.

Great photo. I need to get some I have of a Spoon S2000 up.

 

Damn! I'm not a CRX fan, because where I'm from all the CRX's are pieces of s#$t.
Your's looks like it would be hella fun on a track! Great CRX you've got there!

 

heres the dominating JTTC "Jaccs" Accord from the mid-90s.

57 sec@ Tsukuba is unreal for a FWD car from the mid 90s

Another one of the Accord, taking on an F355 challenge

 

I owned a CRX Si in the early 90s and LOVED it. It had a few small engine and suspension upgrades from Jackson Racing (cant remember what they were) and it was a blast to drive.

Second favorite car Ive ever owned after my Viper.

 

Those are about as different as you can get!

 

I can't get any pics to upload, so here is a link to my gallery.

NSX's and S2000 together:

My Integra at an AutoX many years ago.

Great looking Integra!!!

 

I bought a '95 Si Del Sol (SOHC VTEC) to commute in this spring. Mine is well worn and far from perfect, but it always gets me where I need and 30+ mpg even revving the hell out of it. Another year or so and I will have saved the full purchase price in gas versus driving my ML500.

Over the last few months the little car has grown on me, and while I don't particularly like this one, I could see how when new or in great shape, the DOHC VTEC would be a lot of fun. I will probably drive it for a couple of years and then sell, it will probably end up being the least expensive car I've ever owned. A part of me would like to get it back into great shape and then just drive it until it quits just to see how long it would last, but I know that is financially dumb to waste a lot on cosmetics. I "only" drive about 30k miles/year, the way these things hold up I might have it another decade before something big let go!

So in a couple of years when I get rid of this one I will have to look and see what gas savers will be available that are reliable, safe, and relatively cheap. Maybe I will look harder for a DOHC VTEC del sol next time.

The published gas mileage for the S2000 seems pretty low, otherwise it would easily be the top of the list.

 

You can easily get 28 with the top up cruising.

With a hard top, i would imagine more.

 

Good point, a S2000 with a Spoon top would get pretty good mileage.

 

Top down you lose about 3-4 MPG.

 

In the 3 years I owned mine I didn't have a single problem with mine (that wasn't caused by a modification that I did). It was a great car, especially with the top off. Good luck finding a Del Sol VTEC (DOHC) in good shape, I have a feeling they are few and far between by now.
