one strong s2k..



















Long story short:

His friend was driving the car and spun out on the onramp. Car was sideways on the first lane and got hit by another vehicle doing approx. 67mph!!! (Note: Side impacts are the worst kind of accidents, our civics would probably split in half)

He walked away with a few stitches and some broken bone. I think his friend walked away with no major injuries too.



Once again thank you Honda safety engineering!

oh while we're on topic, check out the 2004 S2000!






did you catch it?







All minor changes except the engine....

Engine is now a 2.2L.... "F22"
They also lowered the redline from 9000rpm to 8000rpm and increased torque. A bit less fun, but the car performs better

shouldn't it be called "S2200" now?

looks good... i'm glad they didn't change much on the exterior... i think they went overboard on the 04 civic tho...

In all probability another example of the cause of rising insurance rates... driving beyond one's skills or the abilities of one's vehicle or both.
