I needed gas really bad and took a Santa Monica exit and found this, ugh. Everywhere else in LA suburbs was 70 cents less for 91 oct.

Lost some money... and some dude came to my $5 min bet table, maxed out two spots, ($2000), got two blackjacks, and left immediately. (ugh).

Then i drove home through the mountains, got to CO at 11000 ft and it was snowing and I thought I was gonna die driving 30 mph at 4am with it being pitch black.

Very nice, sir. That's actually better MPG than I expected too.

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Awesome car! I never pictuered you in a yellow anything though. haha

Re: Got Another Honda

Re: Got Another Honda
 

^x2.

Nice trip, whats the plans for this thing? what about the old one?

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Nicely done!

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Awesome trip, I bet it was a lot of fun! Nice car too ;)

We just got In-N-Out and Del Taco here... How's Del Taco? I haven't tried it yet.

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Looks like a fun trip. Wish I'd known you were in Vegas this weekend. We could've partied


It's like TacoBell but a little better

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Looks like a fun trip! What'd you end up picking that bad boy up for again? I wouldn't mind a nice/clean s2k

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Whoah! After your last trip out west to buy a car and drive it back I thought you would have just had this shipped!

Looks like a nice car, great pics and great story!

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Is that the real Ceasers Palace? How was pager service in there?

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Yep, that's Caesars, I was just there a few weeks ago. Vegas is beautiful this time of year.

Del Taco is the shit. Every spring we go to Phoenix, that's my first stop, two macho tacos to go please.

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Nice car, whats the plan with this one?

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Very nice!

I'd never really looked too hard at the engine bay of one of those, I didn't realize the engine was really THAT far back.

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Mid-engine baby :)

Re: Got Another Honda
 

LMFAO!

LOL, that was a movie reference....go watch The Hangover! The REAL caesar's palace was in...Greece somewhere :)

Mid-engine yo! Doesnt always have to be behind the driver to qualify ;)

Re: Got Another Honda
 

Oh, I know. I just hadn't ever really paid attention to the proportions that made it possible on that chassis; how far forward on the body the wheels are, how far back the firewall is, etc.

Re: Got Another Honda
 

It wasn't about whether you knew it or not. But I, as you, have never looked closely at an s2000 engine bay. I think the strut tower bar makes it more obvious though.

Re: Got Another Honda
 

You can fit a 2jz or lsx motor in there with a good amount of room to play!

Re: Got Another Honda
 

I remember when I lived in Duluth there was a fairly high powered turbo S2000 that use to show up to our drags at the airport maintenance road. He mentioned at the time that there was a weakpoint with the rear end that liked to ker-splode as you upped the power or launched hard. Can some of you s2000 guys chime in as to what this might have been and what the common preventative methods are?
