S2000 Type R

[2skiddy]

Hi, Is there a lot of difference between the normal S2000 and the Type R?
Cheers

Difference in what way?

Obviously power wise there is circa 40 bhp difference.

Hi, Differences in any way, suspension, trim or lack of and power.
Cheers

There is NO Honda S2000 Type-R.

[Dracoro]

Of course, if you're comparing to the Civic Type-R then yes, there are LOADS of differences. Essentially everything is bespoke on the S2000, nothing really shared between other Hondas.

[CatherineJ]

Ahhh sorry I thought the op was asking for the difference between the S2000 and the Civic Type R.

Doh!!!!!

Oh god, not another teenager pratting around and wasting everyone's time with fake questions.

FFS grow up and stop pretending. Nothing wrong with being a teenager, we all were. But very few of us felt the need to create a fake 'adult' life...

[2skiddy]

I was only asking what the differences were between a normal S2000 and the Type R version of the S2000. I didn`t mention Civic or Integra etc. I couldn`t find much about the R version of the S2000 on the internet. The reason I asked is I am seriously thinking about buying an S2000, and saw advertised an imported JDM Type R version. Maybe it is just badged, or doesn`t exist, that is why I posted on here. In my experience it is good to tap the wealth of knowledge on this website. I don`t think this is a time wasting question, even if I were a teenager!

You couldn't find much info on the internet because there is no such thing as an S2000 Type-R.

There are, of course, wallys putting Type-R badges on their S2000s (although I've never seen one) no doubt or even trying to pose as a type-R, probably using the fact that it's an import to fool the less knowledgeable.

There was an S2000 Type R mooted but to the best of my knowledge it never came to market.

[2skiddy]

Thanks for letting me know without the rudeness. I`m looking forward to getting one as they seem excellent value for money.
Cheers.

There's an article about a 6 cylinder s2000 (type-r might have been mentioned too) but the article was 100% fake.

A 360bhp 3.0 S2000 would have been nice though

Could you then explain why you've been asking questions about:-
- buying a 997 GT3 RS from Scotland
- buying a Z3M from Solihull
- buying an AMG-55 motor

...and yet also asking questions about:-
- aircon on a 98 Almera
- how much to pay for a '99 Impreza Sport

(There aren't many people who'd be in the market for an £80k trackday supercar and a £2k Jap shed, it has to be said...)

...and then coming out with this bone question (which IS bone unless of course you're the sort of chap easily taken-in by the eBay merchants...I've got some glass nails I can sell you, by the way!)!

You ARE a sad teenager AICMFP!

Ooh havoc, you could be a detective one day!

Some say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

Is anyone on here using an S2000 for track days? Any shortcomings emerged, like brakes etc? I enquired about a slighly modified yellow JDM car but it had just been sold. There is a standard UK 2004 car for sale, that is not much more than a 2000 car. Is the later car better to drive as is usually the case, but not always. The car will be used on the road and track, but with several different drivers. The Hondas I have had in the past (nothing very fast) have been a delight to drive, so I was hoping this would be the case with the S2000.
Thanks to those that have been a help.

You have'nt really got a driving licence have you....? Maybe one you made out of the back of a cornflakes packet and some bright bright crayons. Go away.

I think with your sort of attitude, and the others that you have followed, it is enough to put me off buying the S2000. I have never encountered so many weirdos!
Shame on you.
