Honda S2000

Honda SSM

X-bone frame (yellow) used in the construction of the S2000 chassis.

Introduced at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show, the Honda Sport Study Model concept car was the design study for the production S2000. The SSM was a rear wheel drive roadster powered by a 2.0 L (122 cu in) inline 4 cylinder engine. It featured a rigid X-bone frame which Honda claimed improved the vehicle's rigidity and collision safety. The hood was aluminium and the car had a 50:50 weight distribution.

The SSM would appear unchanged in many automotive shows for several years afterwards, hinting at the possibility of a production version. Honda later announced the production version of the SSM. Carrying on the tradition of the company's 1960s S500, S600, and S800 roadsters, the new vehicle was named the S2000.

Production

1999-2003

Assembly

The S2000 was introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year and was given the chassis designation of AP1. It featured a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout with power being delivered by a 1,997 cc (122 cu in) F20C inline 4 cylinder DOHC-VTEC engine producing from 237 hp (177 kW) to 250 PS (184 kW), and from 153 ftlbf (207 Nm) to 22.2 kgm (218 Nm) of torque depending on the target market. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and Torsen limited slip differential. The S2000 achieved what Honda claimed as the "top level performance in the world" for a 2-liter naturally aspirated engine.

2004 AP2 and 2000 AP1 model S2000s from abovehe AP1 has OEM front lip, side strakes, and rear spoiler.

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 canvas 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. 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. In 2004 production moved to the Suzuka plant.

AP2

Honda S2000 (AP2)

Production

2004-2009

Assembly

Suzuka R&D Plant in Suzuka, Mie, Japan

The 2004 model year incorporated several revisions to the S2000 and was given the chassis designation of AP2. 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 to 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 9,000 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 ftlbf (220 Nm) 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. In 2006, the F22C1 engine replaced the F20C in the Japanese market as well; 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.

JDM-spec Type-S

The 2008 model year marked the first time the S2000 was offered in more than one trim level in the United States. 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. 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 S2000's Bridgestone RE050 tires instead of the CR's upgraded RE070's. 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.

Production of the S2000 ceased in June 2009. Plans for an S2000 successor were scrapped in the aftermath of the automotive industry crisis of 2008. 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.

Sales and production

In the United States, the largest market for the S2000 worldwide, the suggested retail price of the base 2009 Honda S2000 is $34,995. The CR trim's base price is $36,995 with a $1,000 option to add air-conditioning and stereo.

In the United Kingdom, the 2009 model is offered in two trims, Roadster and GT. The GT trim features a removable hard-top and an outside temperature gauge. On-the-road prices of these trims are 27,300 and 27,850, respectively.

After several years of steady production, sales of the roadster began falling dramatically starting in 2006, and the trend accelerated during the 2008 U.S. recession. Honda sold 7,320 units in the U.S for 2004, the first year of the AP2. In 2008, only 2,538 units were sold in the U.S. - a 74% decline from the 2002 sales peak. In November of that year, for the first time since its launch, fewer than 100 new S2000's were sold nationwide during a calendar month.

Honda Engine Swap Compatability?

Someone let me know if I'm wrong, but is any honda or acura with an H or F series motor able to swap with any H or F series motor? And same with B and D series? It seems as if the H is to the F series, what the B is to the D series. The way I see it is that Preludes and Accords you can basically switch with. And Civics, del sols, crx's you can swap with integra b series'. However what would happen if you tried to put an H or F series into a D series car like a civic? Or if you tried to put and H or F into a B series like an integra? I'm confused on why preludes and accords really just have the H and the F series to swap between while all the other hondas are B and D series compatable
most f's and h's are 6 cyl? Do your research bud, every prelude with H or F is 4 cyl, and all accord models but one comes with 4 cyl. You have no idea what you're talking about, please just don't answer

H-series and F-series are more compatible than the B's and D's. For example, the H-series and F-series transmissions will work on both an H-series or F-series engine. My friend currently has a F-series transmission mated to his H22A. In Japan and Europe, some Accords came with H-series engines from the factory. The Prelude and Accord chassis/engine bays are designed to work with the H & F-series engines; engine mount location and the size of the engine bay.

For D-series and B-series, not much is compatible. Some of the engine mounts are the same, but that's really about it. And like the whole deal with the H-series in the Accords over in Japan and Europe, some Civics, Del Sols, & CRX's came with B-series engines over there (specifically the B16A's & the B16B). Again, the size of the engine bays and the placement of the engine mount brackets are roughly the same, along with the Integras.

Now when you try to put an H-series or F-series into a Civic/Del Sol/CRX/Integra, you need to do modifications to get them to fit. You need special aftermarket mounts for them to fit into the chassis. The shiftlinkage and shifter assembly are also different, so some modifications need to be done. Specifically you need to cut the hole for the shifter assembly bigger, as well as cut another hole to run the shiftlinkage to the shifter assembly (this is more for the other cars other than the CRX, those and the '88-'91 Civics are different).

However, just to throw a curve ball in here, there is also the H2B transmission conversion available. It's basically a plate, new flywheel, and some dowel pins, that allow you to bolt a B-series transmission to an H or F-series block (they also make H2D for D-series transmissions).
