lose the Slobalt and get a true sports car? BIL really enjoys his newish Miata.
The S2000 has been putting a smile on my face since '01. Recently got a look underneath while at my nephew's shop getting some work. You can easily see how the shifter is situated straight up from transmission. No linkage. These were built at the smallish Takanezawa facility in Tochigi alongside the NSX.
Still doesn't burn oil after all that time and nearly 114k miles. Here's the new VTEC valve actuator mechanism and hoses that were beginning to swell and one of shop. There was also a similar '03 S2000 there to the left for major valve work as that one had been ridden hard! I watched that tech remove the valve cover and cams. You could easily see the contrast in size between the normal lobes and the wild VTEC ones.
