MISCELLANEOUS

Vehicle Security

All New EU & UK S2000s are delivered with a Cat2 Immobiliser. Honda UK then fit their own Cat1 alarm system when the PDI is done. Parallel import cars do not have alarm systems fitted as standard and you will need to fit your own system.

Some of the early MY99 UK cars did not have alarms fitted.

Instructions for the standard Honda Cat1 alarm can be found here: https://dl.dropbox.co.../S2000alarm.pdf


Automatic Boot Release


If you have the Honda UK alarm, you can open the boot remotely. When you unlock the car using the key fob, the indicators will flash once. Within 3 seconds of the indicators going out press the indented unlock button again. The boot should then open automatically. 


Driving on the Track

Tyres: Should be run at higher pressures to promote more even wear when used on track - for S02s start at 34psi, maybe increase to 36psi. Note: higher pressures can make the handling more skittish.

Make sure you do at least one slow cool down lap before coming off track to allow the brakes to cool down.

Do not apply the handbrake immediately after a track session as this can warp the disks and damage the pads. Leave in gear instead.


Misc Comments


Please make sure you get the key for the locking wheel nuts if you are purchasing a car. Some alloy wheel fitters have keys to remove the nuts but it can take some time! 

Periodically remove, WD40 and refit all wheel nuts to the correct torque settings to avoid future seizures

A strange moaning sound from the rear of the car after a run on a hot day is quite usual. It's just vapour pressure in the fuel tank.

A rattle from the passenger side is often the seatbelt buckle knocking on the door 





Please take good care of your S2000, keep it by your side for long and enjoy it from the bottom of your heart. And share the quality and legacy of the S2000 with many friends so that the legend of the S2000 will continue for long

Shigeru Uehara

The father of the S2000
