old school s-2000

And Sol 2000... the Motegi and Daytona editions of del Sols, the last ones made, were discontinued in 98, not 99.

[Hater]

Oh come on.. The S2000 is so obviously not a CR-X this shouldn't even be a comparison.

Maybe it's part of a long evolution, but the del Sol was never the basis, nor was it ever building block for the S2000.

Totally different engine, drive-train, everthing is different.

The S2000 is everything the del Sol should have been, but still isn't.

The del Sol is a Civic with a targa and a missing back seat. Done deal, that's it, enough said.

The S2000 was built off of all the previous 'S' model Honda's previously mentioned more than it was a del Sol.

Stop the insanity.

I think we established that already hater... why don't you go play with your mugen toys?

[civicHBsi91]

i think they only cars that resemble each other and are 2 different models are the crx and the insight

S2000 is base off of a Del Sol. Reason being you can take off the radiator support from the Del Sol and weld on a S2000 radiator support. After you do that. You can bolt up all the front-end parts from the S2000. Like the fenders, hood, bumper & cover, headlights, etc... Side mirror is the same. The trunk and roof area you probably have to modify that and probably the change the motor as well.

Building a cheap S2000 for half of the price or lesser.

how many times do we have to say it? Sol does NOT equal s2k. The only similarity is that they are both 2 door sport coupes. The s2k is a completely different drivetrain. I can weld a radiator support from a mazda miata onto a sol.. does that make the sol a miata? NO.

[SIIKprice]

im sorry in advance for what im about to say. THIS WHOLE THREAD IS COMEPLETE BULLSHIT AND SHOULD BE STOPPED. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BS ABOUT THE S2K BEING BASED ON DEL SOLS, CIVICS, AND CRXS. STOP NOW OR I WILL PERSONALLY DRIVE MY S2000 OVER TO YOUR HOME TOWN, ASK PEOPLE WHERE YOU LIVE, AND WAIT UNTIL I GET A CHANCE TO RUN YOU OVER. THEN YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT THE CHASSIS LOOKS LIKE FROM UNDER MY FUCKING WHEEL!
there.... all better now.

[94SolGrl]

aaactually if you wanna get into all technicality, the sol and the s2k are roughly the same height off the ground, so without a launch ramp, you'd have a hard time getting an s2k on top of a sol... j/k.

[Sol Man]

Hey Ringo, how dose someone that drives a 1990 Ford Taurus LX get off ripping on Honda. Once you ditch the grocery getter you can talk.

[94SolGrl]

this really needs to be closed.. it's pointless. The sol and s2k are about as related as me and Mase.

[Sol Man]

Very funny sol girl, however I do feel kind of sorry for sol 2000. He will be scared to ever post again.

[94SolGrl]

Don't come in the kitchen if you don't wanna cook... and do your homework before you get to class, you know?

[solfan2000]

OK, so lets think here. The wonderful engineers at Honda, who do a hell of a job by the way. Are told to design a 2 seater convertable. So they design it, and rebuild it from the ground up. They come up with a window price of $33,000 for the base model. So Honda says they want the car to sell at a little over $20,000. So the wonderful engineers say: "hmmmm we have a factory already producing this chasis, why not build the car on this platform?" Honda redesigns the car using parts that are already being developed, therefore lowering the production cost as well as maintanence. There you have it, its a different car, but ford's use ford parts, audi's use audi's parts, BMW's, all companies do this, so enjoy the Honda you have for what it is, and the price you got it for is also effected by this parts production setup.

i agree i see a lot of resemblence in the del sol and s 2000. i just bought a 94 del sol and i am swapping a 98 spec 18c5. i post some pics when i am all done

[94SolGrl]

What resemblance?! It ends at the fact that they are both two seaters. The s2k is a true convertible while the sol is a targa top.. the s2k is RWD while the sol is FWD.. The s2k is 6 speed, sol is 5 speed... I see no similarities. They end at the badges.
