Honda S200 is one of the best sports cars in the world and its got a converted sunroof
Honda S2000 is a roadster manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda Motor. It was launched in April 1999 and was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the company. The car was first shown as a concept at the Motor Show in Tokyo in 1995 after it was launched on the world market in 1999. The S2000 is named after his displacement of 2 liters, which operates in the tradition of roadsters S500, S600 and S800 in the 1960s.
Several changes were made throughout the life of the car, including modifications to the engine, gearbox, suspension and interior and exterior. Officially two versions available: the original model was the launch of the chassis code AP1, AP2, while the name was given to vehicles produced from mid 2003. Although aesthetically similar, incorporated AP2 marked changes in the transmission and suspension. S2000 production was discontinued in June 2009.
The Honda S2000 is a roadster that was manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda Motor Company. It was launched in April 1999 and was created to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The car was first shown as a concept at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1995, following which it was launched in world markets in 1999. The S2000 is named for its engine displacement of 2 L, carrying on in the tradition of the S500, S600, and S800 roadsters of the 1960s. Several revisions were made throughout the car's lifetime, including changes to the engine, gearbox, suspension and interior and exterior. Officially two variants exist: the initial launch model was given the chassis code AP1, while the AP2 designation was given to vehicles produced from mid-2003 onwards. Though cosmetically similar, the AP2 incorporated significant changes to the drivetrain and suspension. Production of the S2000 ceased in June 2009
Features include independent double wishbone suspension, electrically-assisted steering and integrated roll hoops. 16 in (41 cm) wheels with Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tires were standard equipment. The compact and lightweight engine, mounted entirely behind the front axle, allows the S2000 to obtain a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and lower rotational inertia. An electrically powered vinyl top with internal cloth lining was standard. Honda made available an aluminum hardtop for additional cost.
The 2001 model was largely unchanged, but Honda upgraded the radio and added a digital clock to the dashboard display on most, but not all 2001 models. For the 2002 model year, suspension settings were revised and the plastic rear window was replaced by a glass unit incorporating an electric defroster. Other updates included slightly revised tail lamps, an upgraded radio, and a revised engine control unit.
The AP1 was manufactured up to 2003 at Honda's Takanezawa plant, alongside the Honda NSX and Honda Insight hybrid.[8] In 2004 production moved to the Suzuka plant.
The 2004 model year incorporated several revisions to the S2000 and was given the chassis designation of AP2 (note: this designation was never used in the UK although the improvements to the vehicle were applied). The 2004 model introduced newly designed 17 in (43 cm) wheels and Bridgestone RE-050 tires along with a retuned suspension to reduce oversteer. The spring rates and shock absorber damping were altered and the suspension geometry modified to improve stability by reducing toe-in changes under cornering loads. In the gearbox the brass synchronizers were replaced with carbon fiber. In addition, cosmetic changes were made to the exterior with new front and rear bumpers, revised headlight assemblies, new LED tail-lights, and oval-tipped exhausts.
The AP2 also included the introduction of a larger version of the F20C for the North American market. Designated F22C1, the engine's stroke was lengthened, increasing its displacement to 2,157 cc (132 cu in). At the same time, the redline was reduced from 8,800 rpm to 8,000 rpm with a cutout at 8,200 rpm, mandated by the longer travel of the pistons. Peak torque increased 6% to 162 lbf·ft (220 N·m) at 6,500 rpm while power output was the same 237 hp (177 kW) at a lower 7,800 rpm. In conjunction with its introduction of the F22C1, Honda also changed the transmission gear ratios by shortening the first four gears and lengthening the last two. Another change was the inclusion of a clutch release delay valve.[9]
In 2006, the F22C1 engine replaced the F20C in the Japanese market; however, the F20C continued in all other world markets. The 2006 model introduced a drive by wire throttle, an electronic stability control system, new wheels, and one new exterior color, Laguna Blue Pearl. Interior changes included revised seats and additional stereo speakers integrated into the headrests.
The 2008 model year marked the first time the S2000 was offered in more than one trim level in the United States.[10] In addition to the base model, Honda offered a more track-oriented version of the S2000, distinguished by reduced weight, fewer amenities, and a claimed increase in performance. The S2000 Club Racer made its world debut at the New York International Auto Show on 4 April 2007.[11] Changes for the CR included a lower ratio steering rack, stiffer suspension and all-new Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires, widened at the rear from 245/40R-17 to 255/40R-17. A revised body kit, composed of a redesigned front lip, rear bumper, and a large spoiler, were wind-tunnel tested and claimed to reduce the overall coefficient of lift by 70-80 %. The power folding soft top was removed and replaced with additional chassis bracing topped off with a tonneau cover, while the hard top, optional on other models, became a standard feature on the CR. Finally, in an effort to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity, the spare tire was omitted and air conditioning and stereo were offered only as options. Net weight savings without the additional hardtop was 90 pounds (41 kg) relative to the standard model. The engine in the S2000 CR was unchanged from the standard trim
The 2008 Honda S2000 CR became available in the fall of 2007, with a base price of $36,300. Production volume of less than 2,000 units was expected. Redesigned five-spoke wheels were standard on all S2000s, with bright silver on the base model wheels and a gunmetal color on the CR wheels. All CR models were only available with yellow and black cloth interior. Honda continued both trim levels of S2000 unchanged for the 2009 model year. The price was increased to US$34,695 for the base trim and US$36,695 for the CR trim.
A variant of the CR, called the Type-S, was released in Japan. The Type-S retained the convertible soft top instead of the CR's aluminum hard-top, and used the standard S2000s Bridgestone RE050 tires instead of the CR's upgraded RE070s. The head designer of the S2000, Shigeru Uehara, stated that the CR was somewhere between the existing Type-S and what a supposed S2000 Type-R would have been like.[14]
Production of the S2000 ceased in June 2009.[1] Plans for an S2000 successor were scrapped in the aftermath of the automotive industry crisis of 2008.[15] To commemorate the production run of the S2000, Honda offered a special variant called the S2000 Ultimate Edition for the European market, and a similar GT Edition 100 variant in the UK. These editions feature a removable hard top, Grand Prix White paint scheme, red leather interior, and numbered plaques
The mod will be a completely stand alone update, with all cars having new features, both physical and performance wise. I would estimate that the mod will be released within the next 2-3 months, depending on how tings shape up. You never know, it could be done in 1 month, but that is if everything goes perfect :P
The current screenshot is of the gold Honda S2000. Notice this is the convertible version, yet it has a race spoiler, new hood, new wheels, and new bumpers. Just note that this screenshot is NOT of any of the final cars, its just a demonstration of the different upgrade combinations to expect.
For race tuned spec, the Honda will be hard top, spoiler, roll cage, fully kitted race car. For Track day the Honda shall be convertible, roll cage, new spoiler and bumper. And for street, it shall be convertible, no roll cage and no upgrades.
The same shall be applied to the Nissan, although the nissan has no convertible options.
All cars will have new sounds aswell, which should be a nice update compared the the default sounds of a rhez!!!
I hope you will all enjoy watching this mods progress, please give me feedback on anything, and any thoughts you may have.
