It pains me to have to list this, but I am selling my 2001 Honda S2000 Silverstone Metallic roadster. I have owned this car for over five years and it has been a flawless daily driver. It is a real rear wheel drive convertible sports car, so it is not as quiet as a Civic. S2000s are known for making a lot of noises while driving, but honestly this one is pretty quiet, especially since I got the new top. Here's a list of maintenance and mods:

31254 5/27/05 New Battery
37000 10/26/05 New Clutch (previous owner)
101244 6/1/11 Coolant change (Honda type 2)
106544 10/26/11 New Battery
113360 6/1/12 New rear bumper and taillights
118158 10/5/12 Front & Rear Brake Discs (OEM)
126890 7/8/13 New drivers side caliper
127500 8/19/13 All suspension bushings changed to Energy Suspension bushings, replaced end links, all new suspension bolts
128080 9/1/13 Dome light, trunk light, and license plate light replaced with LED bulbs
128080 9/1/13 Air intake replaced with K&N FIPK (also have OEM air box)
128207 9/13/13 Berk High Flow 63mm Cat (also have OEM)
128207 9/13/13 Stainless steel brake lines
128360 9/24/13 New Robbins cloth soft top with upgraded rear glass window + rear defrost
128929 10/9/13 Passenger tie rod end boot

Oil has been changed every 5-6000 miles with Mobil 1 10W30 or 0W30 and OEM Honda filter.
Transmission fluid has been changed every 15000 miles with the correct Honda MTF
Diff oil changed every 30-40000 with Amsoil 70W110
Brake fluid changed every 2 years with ATE original SL.6 gold or ATE Super Blue
Brake pads changed every 30,000 miles and with rotors (Honda OEM)
Pollen Filter changed every 2 years
Spark Plugs changed at 96000 miles
Serpentine Belt changed at 96000 miles
Clutch fluid is changed every year with ATE brake fluid

Dash lighting upgraded to Qube Engineering LED dash (currently white, also have OEM and blue color diffusers)
Black chrome Honda emblems
Color matched keyhole plugs
Headlights are very clear
Factory radio replaced with Kenwood
iPhone/iPod holder and adapter mounted on dash
AUT Carbon Fiber Cooling plate funnels cold air into K&N
Moddiction Stainless Steel shift knob (also have OEM)
Russell Speed Bleeders installed

There are 2 sets of wheels/tires. OEM 16" AP1 aluminum wheels with Dunlop Z1 Star Spec fronts (~9,000 miles 2/3 tread left) and Dunlop ZII rears (3000 miles, 80% tread left). Also 16" painted steel wheels with winter tires (50% tread left). The wheels are in OK shape. They have been daily driven for the past 5 years and 80,000 miles, so they are not perfect but are round and balance perfectly.

The engine runs perfectly all the way up to 9,000 rpms. Lifetime average mpg is 25.86. Never tracked. I got this car to have a fun daily driver. It has never left me stranded or broken down. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this across the country. In fact I recently moved from the east coast back to Ohio and the car ran perfectly. I would expect this engine to run to at least 300,000 miles before needing any major work as long as regular maintenance is kept up. Heat is very hot and AC is very cold. No problems starting or running.

It just passed Ohio'e E-Check emissions testing with no problem.

The paint is in good condition considering this is a 12+ year old car with it's mileage. There are a few chips and light dings as shown and the paint has worn off the door mirrors as shown. My next project is going to be carbon fiber wrapping the door mirrors if this doesn't sell. The previous owner put a lot of scratches on the front lip as well. I was rear ended in 2012 at <5 mph and got a new bumper cover and tail lights. There was no frame or other structural damage.

I have bought and sold quite a few cars over the years on eBay. If you have any questions, please ask them before bidding/buying. The vehicle is listed locally as well, so I reserve the right to end the listing at any time. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If you have zero feedback please contact me before bidding. No International sales, no exceptions. All sales are final. I accept cash, wire transfer, and cashier's check. The vehicle will not be released to buyer until after any checks have cleared. My bank tells me this can take up to 14 business days. I will not end the listing before it is scheduled to end unless I have full cleared payment up front. I will not take a deposit or partial payments to hold the vehicle for inspection. Inspections are welcome at potential buyers' expense within 30 minutes of where I live.

NHTSA investigating 343,000 Honda Odyssey minivans

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

The recall bug could strike Honda again as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened another investigation concerning the Odyssey minivan. Honda has already recalled 59,000 Odysseys from the 2012 and 2013 model years due to a shift interlock issue, and another 320,000 of the minivans from 2003-04 are being investigated for faulty airbags. Now, TheDetroitBureau.com is reporting that NHTSA is taking a look at the 2007-08 Odyssey for a problem associated with the brakes.
This investigation reportedly includes 343,000 Odysseys that could be suffering from an unexpected application of the brakes. According to the article, at least 22 people have reported such an issue, and in five cases, dealers found a trouble code associated with the steering angle sensor - part of the anti-lock brake and stability control systems. There is still no indication as to whether or not this will become a recall, but Honda has already recalled more than 1.8 million units this year.

Design Handbook explains the difference between design and styling

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

It's easy to confuse the terms 'design' and 'style,' but Jim Hall attempts to explain the difference between the two in his latest Design Handbook video column for Autoline. Before relating the terms to cars, Hall first uses other, non-automotive-related examples to prove his point, such as a well-designed glass versus a well-styled glass. Both do their job well as a result of good designs, he claims, but one stands out more because it also was styled.
When he relates his lesson to cars, he uses the 2013 Honda Accord and the new Chevrolet Impala as examples, but you'll have to watch the video below to find out which car he thinks is merely designed and which one has been styled.
We've also included a gallery of the Honda and a gallery of the Chevrolet so you can decide for yourself which one of these vehicles has been designed, and which one has been styled.

Honda exclusive to McLaren at least until 2017

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Next year Honda will return to Formula One after a seven-year absence, bringing the first Japanese automaker to compete in the top-tier racing series back into the fold. But though it started in 1964 much as it ended in 2008, running its own team (much like Ferrari and Mercedes do today), its new F1 program will see it revert to engine-supplier status (like Renault did when it sold its team to Lotus).
The arrangement will be exclusive to McLaren for the 2015 Formula One World Championship. But what fans and insiders alike have been wondering is how it might expand after that. Well, now we have at least part of the answer.
According to the F1 business insiders at Pitpass, Honda motorsport chief Yasuhisa Arai told a group of journalists at this past weekend's race in Shanghai that the deal with McLaren will be exclusive not only in 2015, but also in 2016. In other words, it won't be until 2017 at the earliest before Honda might begin supplying engines to any other teams, if at all.
