I'm Selling My S2000 - One Last Ride
Motor
I join ChrisFix, EricTheCarGuy, Humble Mechanic, and Matt Maran Motoring for one final road trip in my Honda S2000. This is all thanks to Shell for sponsoring the video and getting all of our cars together!
I bought my Honda S2000 in 2016 and I've loved it ever since. The car has been used for over forty videos, whether it's a DIY on how to change the oil or transmission fluid, to tests on various tires and brake packages, to modifications like a torsen limited slip differential with higher gear ratio, centrifugal supercharger, or titanium exhaust. The car's in a perfect spot, and partially, that's why I'm selling it. Any further might be past the point of no return, and where it sits is a very good package. The car has run its course on this channel, and though I love it dearly, I'm ready for the next project.
A huge thank you to Shell for sponsoring this video, coinciding with the release of the latest formula of their premium fuel, Shell V-Power NiTRO+. This latest formula is designed to protect against gunk, wear, corrosion, and friction. I've quite enjoyed using the fuel in my S2000, and it was a blast going for one last road trip with all of my favorite NOlocal friends.

Noice.
Over a year has passed. Do you regret selling it?
I have a 2002 s2000 and it has a check engine light. Im actually getting ready to take it in for that reason.
Legend has it ChrisFix was born with a helmet on!
Damn foo did you really get slapped like that😂
It's been slightly over a year now since you sold your s2000. Do you miss it? Is the supercharged Miata filling the void? I'm very curious!
My tuner told me not to run shell lol
5:09 so close to seeing chrisfixs face lol
12:20 its soo cute when engineers try to talk chemistry! Its also pretty funny a 13yr pro VW mechanic cant even keep those POS's running!
Hey if you are not married, marry my daughter
You can sell yours as long as you don’t try to sell mine we are good.
That S2000 probably attracted lotsa cops
😭 VTEC Yo! 😭
carbon fiber and aluminum cylinder liner ?
i think EE is the best PHD holder car NOlocalr at the moment. why PHD? he explains stuff with numbers and equations
14:30
I made a similar decision with my 911 after going with a Model 3.
You're making a mistake
Everyone is waiting for the limo caravan behind you.lol😎
An S2000 is a family heirloom; you pass it down to your son.
of course shell paid those cops enough money to disobey the law. you guys aint going to a funeral so this is kinda illegal. but iono

How can she slap?!
How much are you asking for your S 2000
I miss my s2000.
You should have totally stopped by Long's Bakery during your police escort 😂
Watching this on NOlocal, "Ah that's cool." If I was sitting in that traffic, "What a bunch of pricks."
S2000's look sweet with the hard top
Dude I’m from Cincy. Wish I would’ve ran into you when you were here. It would’ve been cool to meet you
Rip your face
I wish I would have known about this!!!! I go to IUPUI like literally 2 mins from your location at 1:38!!! Would have loved to see you and Chris!
Love the videos thank you making great content! So, this development from Shell most likely started at F1. F1 engines use a small amount of oil to help reduce IC temps and increase performance. This could be a good idea content in a future video. Thanks again!
It's official... Chris Fix is the Stig from the American version of Top Gear...lol. :)
Good collab
You are a bit the opposite direction from myself. I do the research and shop around to find a vehicle that fits my wants and desires so I can keep it for a very long time.
Also great videos brother I will upload one soon subscribe to my channel and can see it.
Hey man nice sale on you car 👍 19500 wow so I just bought a 2005 AP2 yellow looks like new. I would love to take a drive with you sometime and you other car biddies. Have a question my S2k only has 17k on it and tires are 11 years old would you recommend I change them? No dry rot on them but they feel kinda hard
When Charles went to start his GTI I said to my self, Self it be funny if his car don't start. I laughed at first then remembered I own a VW to. Lets hope Charles knows a mechanic. ;)
buy an a late 90s impreza
Like your candid comment that you did the math and are not a tech but continue to learn. That's what it's all about! Thanx for the lessons that i didn't pay attention to in school. And I don't know squat yet at 70, still on the learning curve and I love it. Your old when your dead!
I'm picking up my 2001 S2000 tomorrow. Cant wait
I hope you had fun in my home town, and glad none of you got hurt in Little Chicago.....
Are you going to get another car to keep autocrossing? You should do an EE for autocross!! Autocross vs track, what improvements make a car better for autocross, the math of technical driving, suspension setup, driver skill factor, etc!
Shoulda LS swapped it..JK..but srsly
I have never really understood why someone would sell their project car. Maybe its just a Midwestern thing, but we seem to keep ours darn near for life. Regardless, I wish you luck on your next adventure. Pick a good one!
shell using his money to bribe police in order to break the law. i will make sure to fill up my tank somewhere else

wtf, dude?
Since you were learning to modify your S2000 you should pick up a Saturn Ion Redline. It's already supercharged, and there are a lot of different things you can do to make the vehicle your own. Also it's a rare and unique looking vehicle.
Why do you always sell your dope cars :( First the STI, then the S2000
That Fairmont is sick! Definitely my favourite of the bunch. Interesting, as an Aussie, to see the American equivalent. Fairmont's have long been the top of the line model of our Ford Falcon.
Hey guys Chrisfix here! Today I'm going to show you how to fix someone who's trying to sell a s2000. And you can do this at home with only one tool that everyone has! A hand! And it's only 1 easy step. *Proceeds to slap Jason* . And that's how you do it!
The biggest crossover in my life!
1:58 captions on. You wont regret it
Shouldn't the 79' Ford be running zero ethanol?
I still have mine, one of the first batch in CA! 2000 S2000 only 60k miles! =D
LOL Very funny. ;)
A friend of mine used to own a S2k. Red with upgrades engine and body. Really, selling it, is the biggest regret of his life
So you're selling it...because you like it? Why would you sell it simply because you don't want to modify it. Can't you enjoy it?

He's selling it to get something else to make videos and therefore money with.
How do you keep your engine bay so clean? Do you wash your engine bay yourself and do you believe in washing your engine bay with water?
I absolutely love your channel I wish I could bid or donate but hubby is on his 14th bladder and kidney cancers I can't even finish restoring my 63' Chevy Nova right now..Wish I had more money you rock.... THERES A LOT OF GREEN EYE MONSTERS HERE. HATERS GO AWAY...God bless all 💜🙏

I'm not asking for anything. It's up for auction, no reserve. Highest bid gets it: bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-honda-s2000-48/
chrisfix @ 09:35
I offer $1000 and a good home , for the car;It will be in the company of other Honda cars that see only long drives on sunny days; you got the tax write off and amortization out of it anyway . it's only business
Ready to join the V8 master race, Jason?? ;)
Why do you sell something that puts you a huge smile in your face? I can't understand, it's a modern classic like some other said before.

It's not the only car that exists haha.
I like this whole video, however @ 6:10 got my attention for a good reason. Even though I'm mostly on the "Electrical" side of technology, I was a factory trained electrical/electronics technician for almost 11 years along with earning an AS ET degree. The whole experience was VERY "hands-on" and I became very proficient at diagnosing and/or modifying many electrical/electronics systems for a long time so much that... when I went back to school for a BS EET, the less "hands-on" the education became. I then earned a full BS EE degree, which was almost entirely "math calculations" with a small amount of lab experience. My MS EE and PhD studies were only "hands-on" at times because I had to seek out the means to practically test what I was designing. With that mentioned, most universities have sophisticated "workshop/test/protoyping" areas when needed, but my experiences lended mostly to completing the "theoretical" requirements, which again limited my "hands-on" and diagnostic skills previously practised. In summary, my experience as a "technican" was primarily "hands-on" due to the diagnostic and practical nature of the work requirement, yet the "engineering" experience is primarily "design oriented." Of course there's overlapping knowledge and practice between the areas, but there's quite a bit of distinction between the two areas of practice. Just my few cents that I thought to put out here.
Hate the s2000 colour but love this car I want one.
I've had my S2000 for 14 years. I've tracked it and taken it to Streets of Willow... Then I got a Tesla Model 3 AWD performance. You really have to own one to know the difference it makes. I'm still on the fence about selling the S2000 myself, but I understand your decision. The S2000 was a marvel of engineering and then Tesla changed the game. For now, I think I'll be keeping the roadster for a little while. Can't let it go.
Well to be honest you did kinda ruin it by adding a supercharger like some 12 year old coming down from a NFS game. All other modifications I agreed with and liked. But modifying one thing that made this car the best and Honda proud, the engine. That was a bad move.

"Doing anything other than what I would personally want is wrong." Yo dude, do whatever you want with your car. Doesn't mean you have to hate on others.
Its going to be the biggest regret of your life bro, what an awesome car, wish to own one in the future

No, I won't. Seriously why do you think you know me better than I do? Chill.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That car is going to make some woman very happy
How does the newer civic SI only weigh like 100 lbs more than that and its 4 doors?
Do you do the voice of the giraffe from Madagascar?
you will regret it and many people will tell you "I told you so". If you need the money and cannot afford to keep it, thats ok go for it, if its not a matter of money though, just keep it even "unlicenced" (I dont know how you can keep a car without driving it in public roads and dont pay it in your country). Its an all times classic, and yours is a perfect sample
I knew it! Chrisfix is one of the Daft punk. I wish I'm close to buy ur S2000. Lucky buyer
If you can afford to keep it, I think you should keep it. 20 years from now, you’ll look back and say to yourself “man I should’ve kept it”
Every person I know that replaced their s2000 did so because they crashed it so props for not adding to the stuka death toll. I really hope its last ride was actually hooning it though.
10:27 that slap
The ChrisFix section made my night lmao
you will miss this car when you sell it. unless you get a Tesla then i say go for it. lol
How much for your car?

aw man you where in cincinnati? wish i would have known lol be cool to see what was up.

"The world is unjust... But anyways, I'm having a good time." 😂
I’ve always wanted an S2000, don’t think I could sell it if I had one
Where's the price and buy it now button?
A great and fun little video!
ChrisFix being "That Guy" again. Can't trust a man who won't show his face no matter what the reason. Nice montage, i can see how it took a while to do from different viewpoint and editing. How long is it gonna take for these new additives to "replenish" and replace the older Shell gasoline sitting in all their thousands of liters tanks across thousands of stations in this country...I guess what i'm asking is basically how do i know i get the "New Formula" for the higher Shell price???
It's been a long day, without you my friend... And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again... :'( I'm not crying, you're crying!
So sad I missed you guys, I live so close!
I thought this was gta
Love that r32
Sell me your s2000! , how can I buy it?
