Why DBWT I would rather have my foot control the throttle rather than a computer. All cars are switching to this now and I don't like it. The VW one is really bad. The honda one is ok but I would still rather have the old cable.

Not feeling the new rims. Still like the original 16s better.

i think that people like these cars so much is because it's built perfection there isnt a roadster in it's class that is better. yes there are faster roadsters but those are usually like 10 grand more and too luxurious

is the drive by wire throttle a good thing? because i would think it would not give you as good as throttle resoponse as a mechanical setup. im just not very familiar with that kind of setup. and im not feeling the look of the new rims

the delay valve was built into the 04+ S2000's to "dummy proof" the car a bit more to poor driving. it is mostly meant to prevent some tool from blowing up his diff.

it slows/delays the engagement of the clutch. however, this often also prevents the owner from not only launching the car, but also from shifting very quickly.
