Honda Says S2000 Revival Is A Big Maybe.

While the initial plan was to install the Civic Type R’s turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine, it is believed the sports car will get a much more interesting powertrain and a “unique chassis.” You might also like:

It’s apparently set for a 2018 launch when Honda will celebrate its 70 th birthday and at the same time 20 years since the debut of the original first-gen S2000 roadster. Hopefully that was a sign of things to come.įast forward to present day, a report coming from Japan’s Holiday Auto magazine indicates the S2000 is indeed coming back to slot between the tiny S660 and the NSX supercar. In July 2015, Honda briefly had on display at the Mountain View Research Park in California a sports car concept similar in design to what the patent images are showing. There is one more reason to believe the S2000 is set to make a return.

I found that the job required the car to be lifted more than 22' to allow enough room for the rear of the transmission (companion flange) to be sufficiently tilted downward to give access to the top bolts. That will allow you to remove the bolt without bothering with removal any of the stuff in front of the intake manifold to gain access to it. When you replace the trans it will just mate right up for you. Release the bolt but do not remove it from the bolt hole nor should you remove the tools.

Partially extract all six of the subframe bolts (Maybe one or so inches on the front and 3-4 inches on the rear will do.) Then drop the jacks until the front of the subframe hangs on the front bolts and the rear drops down to the rear bolts to give you a straight shot with a 36' extension at the 17mm bolts on the rear top of the housing.Īs to the to starter bolt, using a lot of light to help you spot it, just run a 17mm socket mounted on a universal joint down between the 3rd and 4th runners of the intake manifold and using a bent piece of coat hanger, slide the socket onto the bolt head.

Using two jacks and some wood as a cushion on the jack saddle, jack the rear of the front subframe on each side until it is well supported. The motor needs to be tilted to the rear.
