if there was ever a time you should have had the top up, it was this. I'm surprised no one tried to throw a grenade in there.

s2ki.com is a great source of info on s2k, i was on that website for yrs planning to get s2k but decided to get a z at the last sec lol

m4a1mustang · 02-15-2012, 04:14 PM

Yeah it'd be pretty cool if they were still making them. Unfortunately Honda decided to ditch fun cars all together.

Red__Zed · 02-15-2012, 04:17 PM

Who can blame them? They couldnt move the s anymore.

m4a1mustang · 02-15-2012, 04:19 PM

Yeah if people think it's tough selling a Z in this economy I can't imagine how hard it would be to get the S out the door.

mantella87 · 02-15-2012, 04:25 PM

True. It's depressing.

kenchan · 02-15-2012, 08:38 PM

I didn't know what was the pricing for the s2k in US when Honda drop it from the market, but a s2k in Canada cost about $50k plus option and taxes.

For that kind of price in 2008, no too many people would like to spend that kind of money to buy a 4-cyl 240hp car. Yes, it is one of the most fun to drive, but there are so many other options with that price range.

Yup, so sad....

So it turns out we didn't care much for the feel of the Team Voodoo knob on the S2K. The way the boot is on the car it just felt weird... you end up grabbing both the shift knob and the top part of the boot. Not a good feeling.

Ordered a "wrinkle red" textured Moddiction Anvil II knob and a new shift boot with red stitching.

On the 5.0 side of things, I'm going to put my Michelin PSS order in soon to capitalize on the special on TireRack right now. Discounted at $1488 for the set (originally $1550+) and you get a $70 rebate, which will cover shipping and then some.

No homo but I would think you would want a smaller knob for that transmission. What about just a type-r knob from Honda?

I agree with your finding though. I read your post and we went to put my knob( formally your knob) on my buddies s2k and we didn't like it either..

Yeah, the knob I got is the knob you got from me that time you bought my car because you wanted some knob...

I actually think I would like a longer throw with this transmission. Something closer to the steering wheel.

We ordered this style in "wrinkle red" and the same shift boot shown:

Hopefully it will provide a better feel.

The TWM extenders are 4" which are a little bit too long for me to handle...
