VTEC Buddy, the S2000 reference that knows its chassis codes
A free, no-login reference for Honda S2000 specifications, factory colours, tires, known issues, service intervals, fitment, and buying advice across US and Japanese models.
Field notes
VTEC Buddy indexes the S2000 by model year, market, chassis, and trim rather than requiring visitors to already understand Honda’s naming system. Its examples distinguish the 2004–2005 and 2006–2009 AP2 phases, identify 22 factory paints with Honda codes, and separate issues such as F20C retainers, early oil-jet bolts, and a 2006–2007 brake-booster recall. The homepage also exposes direct, human-readable paths for year and chassis combinations.
