!This video was filmed during the summer, obeying Covid resctriction guidelines!
This time Thommy was nice enough to let me have a go in his S2000 while we were on holiday in France. So my first time driving this car, right hand drive, in the french mountains! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Sorry about the GoPro not having the best view

A red Miata and S2000 on a french touge. As a JDM fanboy im heavily breathing and sweating right now.
this is how every 4 cylinder should sound like!
Please stop promoting this car too much, I want to be able to afford this thing in the future! :D
So true, we already have to pay the Mighty Car Mods tax!
You will afford it don't worry . Soon they will force us to EVs and all these great cars will worth nothing
@@Lenkobi well actually in most countries you can still drive an ICE car on public roads past 2030, it's just that new cars will all have to be electric, so we can still drive on mountain roads
Great car. Such a shame that light high revving NA sports cars with MTs are so rare these days...
8:55 honda were very focused on this engine throttle response (no balancing shafts, light flywheel, light pistons etc) masterpiece of R4... Thank you for that video!
This sound interesting, what should i look for when i want to learn about this phenomenom?

Amazing video as always!
Cabriolet moteur avant de couleur vive... une concurrente 10 fois moins chère qu'une C7 ZR1 ? 🙄😅
Still don't understand people paying 100k+ for modern sport or supercar when a 20k S2000 is all that you need with a perfect winding road.
Gt3rs would be amazing to own. Revving out at 9k rpm on a mountain road. Anything else with paddles can fuck off
@@ra-on6gn it’s crazy how boring some sports cars are tuned out of factory. My dad had a 2013 c63 amg S and it was a super beautiful, fast and amazing sounding car but it’s biggest downside was the paddle shift transmission. It was crazy how much slower it shifted compared to BMW M cars and the downshifts were incredibly conservative, I think if you’re going to make a paddle shifter you need to take out automatic shifts? I understand they do it for reliability and that you can tune it to change this but it was seriously disappointing. Fun date night car but me and my dad laugh 10x with big smiles on our faces when driving my much slower 350hp Evo 6. Raw, gear smashing, tin can, fun
Achètes Hadrien !
Gay
No longer 20k, there selling for over 30k of under 50k miles in usa
Love the S2000.
2:10 one of the reasons for the transmission tunnel being so wide is the S2000's "high X bone" chassis, which uses the transmission tunnel and sills as stressed members, which is one of the reasons why it has a stiffer chassis than its competitors.
Great video, and those roads look absolutely amazing!
I hope to be buying an S2000 soon, and if I do I might have to take a trip down to France for those roads :)
Thanks for the insight!
France has some sick roads...
One of my favorite reviews I saw right before I got my s2000 a year ago. I had to watch it again.
I love your pure driving videos. Especially when it is on a public road. Allzeit gute Fahrt and keep up the grat work :D
Had 3 mx love em always will,
but treated myself to a road legal track S2000 honestly couldn't be happier n appreciate what I've got.
You my friend are by far the best at what you do respect from 🇬🇧
One of my favourite S2k Videos!!! 🔥
What a wonderfull sound. Reminds me of my first ep3 with Invidia catback, testpipe and AEM V2 cai.
This is my dream car, i wish we had some of these here in Brazil!
Great vid!
Sehr schönes Video, gerne mehr von den POV Aufnahmen (sind die besten). Weiter so 👍
I just did a little drive like that in my AP1. Always a blast to drive.
Excellent!!!! Just excellent!!!
One take was great.
What exhaust does it have?
Love that car, and the place looks like something close to where I live in Annecy France?
Beautiful ride for sure!
Good to see you in the correct side of a car for a change 🤪
More of the pov content please!
It´s awesome keep it up
The car seems impressive, zero defects. Nice video by the way. ^^
Was die damals schon für ein schönes Auto gebaut haben😍😍😍, man kann durchaus verstehen dass die Fahrzeuge sehr wertstabil und gut gehandelt werden, der S2000 ist einfach ein geborener Klassiker!
Wish we had roads like that here! Very rare to see roads like that here in my state lol.
That 2 lane road is like one lane in the states haha, great video!!
Future classic for sure. Value increases every year it seems
Bought mine here in Canada for $18k 7yrs ago, I can sell it now for over $20k
Lately it seems like it’s going up everyday. 😁
Awesome video one more time.
What a sound. I would be happy with the nc mx5 as well
These one takes are rly cool.
Stick with them there real and authentic.
When was that btw?Weather looks fantastic :)
It always nice to see the best Vtec aspirated by Honda, good sound. When you try to drift it's a handful. Good old school moments
😠 please put some respect on the top tier k series 2.0 and k24 mate they put them in every car these days. And let’s not forget about the legendary B SERIES
@@bigguwapbrixks187 So which one of as a 2.0 with 250 HP and cuts at 9000rpm 🤔
@@BaruKz factory power doesn’t mean shit mate, I’m a Honda die hard but calling f20c best Honda motor is ludacris…. Cmon bro do some research
@@bigguwapbrixks187 that's your opinion, it's still a big reference. You can research whatever you want the best don't more RPM, if it is a question of power to weight with shorter gear ratios that's another topic. The fact is there power specific to liter is 125hp. I like it if you don't live with it.
@@BaruKz bro I owned dc2r, civic ek and now own a k24 accord euro just sayin. Your opinion is yours as well even if I don’t agree with it I gave you my opinion 😎 you said best I said no cause otherwise everyone would be doing f20c motor swaps BUT NO. They don’t. But I also understand how you think mate and all yo used is NUMBERS. Power doesn’t always mean better dude bigger numbers don’t always equal to better performance and Japanese have shown you that time and time again.
Hopefully you tried out that NC too great vid
the back loves to come out on the s2000. i had a couple close calls lol..
1 car I miss from my previous cars. ... The S2000.
Very nice!
Great!
Great video of a great car right in its favorite environment! My critique would be lack of forward view due to camera angle. A few more degrees up would have been much more fun for viewers. I am lucky enough to own one , I'm waiting for better weather to get her back onto the road again. Cheers.
Ich liebe dieses Auto. Es ist zwar nicht so schnell aber darum geht es ja auch gar nicht. In diesem Auto geht es um die Leidenschaft und um den puren Spaß.
Kann man aber relativ günstig schnell machen
Good content!!!
What exhaust is on that S2000? Sounds amazing but not too much at the right time👍🏼
Rez
@@erenoid123 Rez?
I think it's a Tanabe Medalion Touring. Sounds about the same as my S2K.
@@Egb_Z34 i drop a comment here (reserved) to get notifications if the answer ever commented
@@erenoid123 ooohh👍🏼👍🏼
Damn, that Miata though ❤
Not a rapid car, but a sweet spot in power to weight for back road driving, can’t recommend them enough to people who love driving involvement
Wow!After seeing you driving the exige, the alpine etc I didn t think you could come out with my car s review! Very interesting to know your point of view. Did you like the steering ? Brakes?Is the Alpine much faster than an S2000?
Hondas done right are proper race cars... Their engines in n/a form just have a special feeling like no other imo...
What exhaust is that? Sounds amazing!
Love your POV driving videos. Every time I watch them, I am holding an imaginary wheel and moving my feet to pretend that i'm modulating brake/throttle applications + changing gears because its so immersive haha. I always thought that the S2000's F20c engine sounds less raspy than the K series and B series Civic engines, and your video has reinforced my viewpoint again. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your future videos 👍🏼
this is the F22C1,but the exhaust makes a small difference, not that much, stock still sounds pretty amazing
@@sandorcsurgay8003 I think it’s the F20C
@@massimilianozeni1848 Its an AP2 so I dont think
@@sandorcsurgay8003 in Europe and GB we never got the F22C and all our cars have chassis code Ap1 even after the restyling. Besides I think even the redline in the tachometer is lower in the Ap2.
@@massimilianozeni1848 I had an AP1 and there is no fuel gauge and water temperature on the dash next to the rev counter, I know about the rev limit, 9200 drop to 8200, andthe gearing, in 2006 the drive-by-wire system removed the throttle cable and replaced it with electric system, the gearing is completely different. AP1 models have a lot longer gears, resulting higher top speed and longer pull, AP1 suspension is stiffer, AP1 is a bit lighter as well, MAYBE this is an AP1 but with a different dash than early models, but I always thought this is an AP2 dash, but I can see he have 9k redline so... I guess this. But I really love this car, and will buy an other AP1, and will drive the shit out of it as before, and other people can keep it inside, this car need to scream :)
Been looking for a good Touge vid for quite a while.
To bad this camera angle almost killed the video.
Hope to see more of its kind in the future!
Sheers
What is the muffler system? it sounds perfect, but it does not sound stock.
What are the roads/mountain passes called?
I see that you are Greta driver, can you compare MX-5 ND 2.0 with S2000, which oné would be your favorite?
What do you think of the spoon gear knob, better than the stock?
whats that phone mount
Der MX-5 war auch nicht langsam. Original?
Gibts in den französischen Alpen viele Geschwindigkeitskontrollen? Tempolimit ist ja nur noch 80km/h.
What's the water bottle holder? Or is it in the stock mesh pocket?
Is the Miata in front vanilla?
THE LAST GREAT ANALOG SPORTS CAR EVER MADE!!!
Wow.. lovely🥲
Never been on Touge in my RHD s2k . Is very annoying if there is any traffic. I use my LHD Prelude for this. And not too many people know but is just as good even if is FWD
Oh Nice! If you come back to France in the Alps, HMU!
The only thing I didn’t like about this video was I kept tilting my phone and moving my head to get a better view of the road 🤣😂🤣😂
Very nice! But when are you coming to US 129 tail of the dragon?
Some day hopefully!
I really want a s2k but my manual/rwd history is not long and i would most likely wreck it if I had it
not a fan of cutting corners, I'm also a biker and I fear cars doing that so... I know you did it when you saw nobody was coming but... still.
I feel you. Definitely something i want to improve on. Reading it from someone just reminds me that i need to also drive safer on open roads
@@heelandtoe_ you were 100% legal. it is a dotted white line, and only crossing it with clear visibility, so all good. it is when people start crossing it round blind corners that it becomes dangerous.
Totally agree, proper Touge rules say 'Stick to your lane'.
@@mpanayi1 exactly, as I said, he was not endangering anyone, and I trust his driving skills. The problem is when some people (unexperienced and maybe after watching this kind of videos or old careless people) drive like this on "autopilot" mode, without thinking, and well, there is evidence all over r/idiotsincars and UA-cam of what can happen. I'd rather drive in my lane 100000 times than having an accident 1 time. BUT again, I know he did it when he saw nobody was coming. Anyways, stay safe, enjoy cars and bikes and have a nice one you all lads!!

This is how most Stewies end up in the junkyard. 😂
High revving NA engines is what we Need.
Wo ist diese Straße und wie heißt die? alteeeeeer 😍😍😍😍
I would prefer an opel speedster for the total weight. But that sound of the S2000 is irreplaceable
Ich frage mich mehr und mehr, ob der S2000 nicht sowieso eines das ultimative Passauto ist?
Er ist leicht, tail happy, schmal, nicht übermotorisiert und offen.
Mit dem Gt3 zum Beispiel, bist du ständig jenseits von gut und böse und der Spass fängt auch erst viel später an.
Stimme dir voll zu, hatte einen M2Competition und 3 monate nachdem ich den S2000 geholt hab, hab ich den verkauft und noch den GR Yaris bestellt. Hab nur einen Zylinder mehr aber 1000x mehr spass 😌
This video almost makes me regret getting an E36 M3 over the S2k. Went to buy an S2K, but the seller pulled out the night before, so bought an M3 instead
You will regret it even more in years. I changed tires sparkplugs and oils in last 3 years since i own my S2k
@@justanothertroll9205 Yeah, maybe i'll get one to replace my M3 with. Only thing is, they are so rare to get a hold of here in Sweden. It was about 1,5 years since I missed out on that deal, and there has not been one for sale to my liking since. I want a euro ap2 (with ap1 engine) - Low mileage, sold in sweden new, with factory hardtop are my criterias, and there hasnt been one that has matched that in 18 months, so...
@@Doggepp look in other countries. I have Ap1 Gt (oem hardtop) bought from UK. RHD . I was working driver in Uk so it doesn't matter is RHD for me. It was very cheap and is stock.
I recommend to look in countries like Netherlands for example. I think they are the most and cheapest in Europe except Germany. But i wouldn't trust those car dealers in Germany. They lie about milleage and 80 percent of them are imigrants . I have a guy on fb from Netherlands that sold many of them since i know him . Also sells OEM new parts and repair issues in his shop. Very good with s2000s
deltalima-s2000.nl Look on his page . Maybe you will find something
Man I dont know what to say.... Something Needs to be said for the algorithm
I'm sorry, but I couldn't make it past "Do you rev it high?" and "When does the VTEC kick in?" in the first few minutes of the video.
If you don't know it and don't feel it, you don't know how to drive it and shouldn't do a "review" video of it until you get the hang of it. Especially an AP1 with a 9k redline
It’s not that serious. He’s not a jdm guy
Way to jump to conclusions. What a narrow minded view of things.
@@audioamateur this isn't exactly a "new car review" here. A POV drive, a "my first time driving...", what have you, sure. But a lack of knowledge on a car released over 20 years ago? A "review" it is not.
Ahh the south of France is perfect for an S! Jealous !
Lmao immediately with the bumps I knew it was TEIN. Absolutely junk coilovers.
hello world! 😅
Was fun chasing you in your MX-5!
It sounds a bit like a Ferrari F355.
To dangerous drives in right blind corners. If met bicycle on your side and car opposite, it will be no good.
Get a nice S2000, use it for a few years, and sell it for @ the same you paid for it......unless you become a VTEC addict.
exactly, Ive done that 2x and broke even or made a couple thousand after owning them for 3 yrs each. I just bought another one last year but will hold on to it. Great car!
My s2000 is worth twice what I paid for it 9 years ago 😁
It seems like you're not driving the s2000 like it was intended to. It seems that you're always out of Vtec or the power band. You need to keep her above 6k RPM at all times.
It looks like he never reved it much over 8k rpm. I guess people have instinct to shift at lower rpms. Once one of my friends driven my modified civic type r with 8,5krpm redline, he never went above 7 or 7,5 krpm no matter how i persuaded him. With these engines you are missing quite some power by not reving them to the top :P
@@MonsterCod1 Exactly! Whenever I've let people drive my s2000, they always shift it at around 7,500 rpm no matter what I tell them. You are truly missing out on the whole point of the car if you don't take her up to 9,000 rpm.
@@sdlausen1 At the end, what matters is that you enjoy it to the fullest ;) I hope someday i will be able to buy one too. The prices are getting ridiculus here :P
@@MonsterCod1 They are getting ridiculous. I'm lucky to have bought my AP1 7 years ago for only $6000 USD. They weren't overhyped that much back then haha. Its doubled in value since then even after putting 30k miles on it.
nankangs versteh ich ja aber dann auf tein?? fahrwerk puuh
Stay the fuck on your side of the road!!!
BAD CAR!!!!!!11111!
What exhaust does it have?
