s2000 ap1 diff blows

[CNJ0525]

@oziumzx hahaha true right there. Posting for bail n crap. Was gonna get a camaro but gonna stick with a honda :)

[Redsoxnation22192]

Guy below me knows nothing... how'd you check everything but don't know what a differential. Wow, inlinePRO sells a nice kit so you don't blow the stock pumpkin

[19295668]

Was the differential? final gear? bearings? housing?

Cause my S make same noise now and i cannot see what's happened.

My final gear is perfect, the bearings sound really good. Maybe is the differential...

[S2000fred]

this happened to me yesterday...........damn it sucks....

[DtoWnSux1]

@S2000fred expensive to upgrade it so it wont ever happen again?? let me know please

[S2000fred]

@DtoWnSux1 i didn't upgrade it, just got a used diff case with the diff in it from a local used parts dealer and swaped the case myself, cost me 700 canadian dollars, also noticed 1 of the 4 bushings the diff case is mounted to is cracked so that is my next repair, maybe next month when i have some time.

[shaneh22]

This car probably was a factory flaw.

[Sladur4e901]

gear box !!! off !

[youbakla408]

lol

[cb7pwn]

this is why i dont like buying used cars

[LazySniper]

Honda almost got RWD right.... Still a great car.

[sic3kgt]

my friend launched his ap1 at 6.5 and dropped the clutch, it broke his axel but not diff. It hooked good for like half a sec though. lol

[gnccracer16]

guy is like wtf is that?? i would be too since all the hondas ive dealt with are FWD lol thats a new sound!!

[vzes9s2k]

This just happened to me today. I saw this video the first day i got my s2k. Didn't think it would happen to me...FML.

[KennyT033]

@vzes9s2k same here, saw this video waaay back.... and then my diff blew last night.... back to reality

[semochu123]

"The fuck is that?"

[xxnissansilviaxx]

what did the reenforced diff cost/

[KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

Aftermarket diff? Or not driving the car right

[xxnissansilviaxx]

what did the diff changes u did cost?

[blazeveryday6996]

LOL @ THE GUYS FACE .... teh fuck is that ???

[sniffsumglu]

Vtec just kicked in yo!

[johngo1224]

maybe its due to a lot of miles on the diff? i know a few guys that are boosted with over 400rwhp and the stock diff and stock gears are working just fine for a few years now.

[pivapeeeev]

guess they really arent made to go to 9 grand lol

[xxnissansilviaxx]

@pivapeeeev yea dude they are

[IIKlaplonGII]

Sounded like a trading card between the spokes of a bicycle.

[s2kvick]

wow...i dump the clutch sometimes...i have drag raced it about 8 times i think i wont do that till i get a more reliable one...after gears ill just roll into my torque :D

[kkkc100]

the unbrakable VTEC xD and that guy "WTF is this " ahhahahahahha LMAO

[GOMBPRODUXIONS]

That sounds absolutely horrible man, hows the Comptech treating you?

[TheDragonHelix]

Fragile CV joints on the stock model? Hope it wasn't too expensive to fix.

[Sasquatch322]

hahah the guy at the end....what the fuck is that??

[FutureTechSpace]

It's okay, get a spool next time :)

[ac711sk8]

that almost makes me cry...

[glennkrueger]

This is why I change my diff fluid in my S2000 every 15,000 miles, like the manual says

[tubegangsta]

BWAAAAH

crush,,,,

[Sasuke1Avenger]

No that was the diff breaking free in the housing

[phunki3ee]

That was just a driveshaft.

[usageee]

How much did this set you back?

[grandpija]

Fuck is that!

[grandpija]

Fuck is that!!

[grandpija]

Fuck is that!

[vzes9s2k]

I wish i hadnt watch this, now everytime i do somethin reckless in my s2k i keep thinking this will happen to me.

[gerfall]

VTEC!!! did not just kick in yo... sad face :(

[IntelEngineer1]

Been there! Done that! I can relate to the pain! It is a horrible feeling to have your diff blow on your S2K!

[rapandrnb]

fuck man what a cut job, my s2ks diff just got fucked recently to, i think the reason was becuase i had 20s on it, fucken hell, its going to coast me 1000-1500AUD to fix it

[darkaccord]

ouch, been there...........puddymod built diff is a great investment. i have the stage3 build in my vortech s2k and love it.

[parker808]

VTAKKK!!!-OOOOooooo....

[Viking445]

lol

[Thes2kLariat]

I know that feeling just happened to me. You would think they would've put a beefier diff in these cars

[evobeatr]

Wheres the EVO's vid??? I wanna see that!!!

[dunfukwitasianz]

you seriously need to get out of your cave right now!!!

[PALIOXARAKTIRAS]

blown difr...

[oziumzx]

In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, the American car industry is in the crapper. Must be because they make such great cars, huh? Sorry to all the domestic fanboys but now is not the time to claim American automotive superiority unless you're trying to make a joke.

[CountingMagpies]

@oziumzx As much as I love domestics I have to agree with you. They made great cars before the 90s. Now the imports are taking their place for decent cars.

Unless it's a Toyota. Keep moving and never stop.

[vTECiN6TH]

wow after seeing that its making me think otherwise to hammer my s2000 around.. :( now im scared mines going to go lol oh well easy driving until i forgot i ever saw this video. i do lots of clutch dumps though thank god nothings happend..

[jhor86]

dude trust me if your going to be dumping it. lookin into a comptech diff or if you have the extra cash, the puddydaddy diff.

i only took it out on back roads, thats the hardest level the car was driven is like in that video.

Not sure how the last owner took care of it though:(

[boosted99gsr]

i have a quaife lsd. never had any problems and i beat the shit out of it every weekend.

[dcawildcats15]

yeah i have an s2k turbo with the puddydaddy diff i got for christmas because i blew my stock one and ive dropped the clutch a whole bunch and it hasnt done shit thank God lol

[tribalforrealz]

Wow, this happened over 2nd gear shift?

My lil Toyota pick up would never do that.

[redmanmustdie]

because toyota is toyota not a playboy car toyota means "tank" in japonese lol

[redfoxbody]

nothing like those ford or toyota diffs. ftw

[effingshiz]

that was actually not the diff but the CV axel. i should know i went through about 9 when i use to slide the S. I am very use to that sound. haha

[jhor86]

dude if you saw what was left of the pinion you wouldnt believe it. it sheered half the teech off one side. :(

[yourayour]

"I did ZERO clutch drops and ZERO launches on the car" Thats your problem!

[IntelEngineer1]

The same thing happend to me. My diff blew out and hears what happend: Was taking this SRT-4 and we both had the leading eadge at times but about the time I was going into fourth from third I on accident dropped it into second. Now, I've also got a stage 3 cluch and that thing grabed the fly wheel like nothing and I went all over the road after smoking the tires. It was the diff that went out. So if you're planning on putting a stage 3 clutch in your S2000, be careful on this.

[yourayour]

Def glad you shared that b/c I could see that happening to me once I get a new clutch.

[sucmydohc]

LMAO @ the douche bag spectator... maybe u should take your hat off before you give blow jobs! HAHAHA

[lovemyiphone]

give me the evo

[JsS2K]

What's a ZERO clutch drop and launch?

[dereklsept]

he means he never dumped the clutch...always smooth launches

[FastisFast]

I launched my S at 7100 yesterday at the track. Comptech diff with 4.77s ftw. never any problems

[KuostA]

Wow..I drive a wrx so I'm aware of how fragile the trannies could be, but i had absolutely no idea that s2k's suffered from anything closely and remotely similar to this problem. i thought you could clutchdump/quickshift/etc with ease, it was just an all out fun go cart. What am i missing? Fill me in on some of the downfalls of it.

[jhor86]

the end caps on the diff housing break due to the bolts being prone to stretching as well. the comptech uses stronger bolts and end caps. the s2000 trans is strong. its just the actual housing on the rear end.

[Liemciemdk89]

time to get a silvia lsd

[jhor86]

Already got a comptech reinforced diff with richmond 4.56 gears

[gevik213]

same thing happent to mee

[jhor86]

ap1 or ap2? what did u end up doing?

yeah man you would think honda would really improve the diff like subie did with the wrx trannys.

i cringe everytime i see videos on here of people dumping the clutch at 7k+ on their s2ks. or side stepping it just to get sideways.

[mvm5mvm5]

i dont cringe... i do it all the time autoXing... i just make sure i have a spare diff at all times.
