S2000 CR - 10 Years Not running !!
Рет қаралды 9,692
Күн бұрынThis S2000 only has 532 Miles.
The owner passed away and left the car in non running condition.
The wife spent 3 years with versions shops trying to get the car running with no luck.
Several had recommend it go to LHT, Well, It came.
We went right work and removed the unreliable parts, repaired the wiring and supplied many OEM Parts to get the car un and running.We turned this car around in 3 days. George I put in the time , care and passion, to make this come alive.
The car is currently being driven the 1000+ Miles home.
We're laden by the story but glad we could make the car run again.

Sad, that the husband passed away. And here is the difference between having the car tuned by a tuner who just made money on it, and LHT Performance, the excellence of Engineering, how fantastic once again to see how you fixed a really bad tuned car to make it a reliable daily. Knowledge and TLC is so important in these days and so rare to find. Good to know you guys. One day soon, I'll pop-up at your shop, be prepared for it 😂 Love you guys.

One thing you have to remember, when this car first came out, it wasn’t anything really special. Every dealer had some of these sitting, they couldn’t sell, hence the value wasn’t very high. The value only increased overtime.

I didn’t do wrenching back then. Had a great mechanic though. Score on the mint OEM exhaust. Airbox looks new too. Shame the owner only got to enjoy the CR for 500 miles. I’m sure his widow is pleased you guys worked your magic.

@SilentCivilian 11 ай бұрын
The engine and transmission is the same, but the major difference is in the aerodynamic and handling performance that comes with the CR parts installed on the car. S2000s are notorious for the rear end "coming around easily" and that is not an issue with the CR models. Beefier sway bars, stiffer springs and different shock dampening, coupled with the aerodynamic upgrades, make it a much more stable car when playing in the twistys.
