Thanks kazi. Chris (02RSXTYPES) told me about a book called Honda S2000, and it was about the car and its history. I ordered it and it should be on its way.

But if its gone from S500 to S2000, whats stopping an S3000? muahahahaha

yeah...honda's 1st cars were 2 seater convertible sports cars...mostly based off motorcycle technology (chain drive)

i bought a book call Honda: Portrait of an International Brand...it tells you all about Soroichiro Honda and his life's work...he believed in racing as the way to improve his products and that's why honda races so often (where it can afford to...honda quit f1 b/c of cash shortages even though it completely dominated the sport for 5 years)...it also tells about how the company does not make excuses but finds a way to do the impossible through technology (cvcc, vtec, etc)...it also tells how mr. honda's demand that all board of directors of his company must always hold a degree of engineering b/c they filter out the crap and usually have a conscious compared to those with only finance and sales backgrounds

If you really crave a convertible Acura go to www.FullEFX.com and check his Legend convertible conversion. I don't care for the widebody treatment, but the top chop is nice. He does add a subframe to reinforce the chassis.

Yianni you finally got that book, huh? An excellent read, read it from cover to cover without looking up. The first car Honda ever made was a RWD roadster, think about that for a minute.
