I got a Laguna Blue Pearl 2006 S2000 in mid November. Got it all sorted out, had a fun track day, installed some new stereo equipment, and a few other parts, now I'm ready to roll!

Does anyone know at what rev's the limiter flashes, and at what rev's the limiter is set at? I assume both are 9,000 but have the set they light slightly before that?

9,200 I think?

edit: depends on MY, the later versions had lower limiters iirc.

As I recollect, the red line is 8900 and limiter at 9200 or 9300.

That's for all the 2.0 ones, recent or late. The 2.2 sold in the USA and Japan had a rev limit of about 8000rpm.

Warm the motor up and stick your foot to the floor at a standstill and look at the rpm gauge!!
or take it to a Honda dealer ask them kindly if they will plug it into the H.A.R.T and look on data list and it will tell you when it is cutting in.

If someone were to be contemplating an S2000 as a next car, would there be anything to look out for?

Also what would servicing costs/intervals be like?

Go find the FAQ threads on s2ki. Everything you ever need to know.

I also did a thread recently on there. 6months in - costs so far (it was called something along those lines)
