I'm 99% sure Edmunds is wrong. I may have to stop by our Honda store on the way, I can double check. Also you could try posting over at s2ki.com, I'm sure an '04 owner would chime in.

No tilt wheel on the '04 S2000. When thigh room is really tight, some people investigated getting the wheel from the JDM model with VGS steering. It has a flat bottom on the wheel. I have no idea if anyone successfully imported and installed it though.

I was talking to an S2000 owner last night and he said that the 04's have a rev limit of 8g's now, why?? But they supposeably gained better low end torque. What are your opinions on that guys.

They stroked the engine. Piston speeds with the long stroke at 9000 rpm would exceed their F1 engines! Honda rated the HP the same, but there were usefull gains in HP lower in the rev range, and more torque everywhere. On paper the HP is the same, but recent tests on a dynopack show dramatic gains at the wheels. See this thread on s2ki.com

There are lots of pretty big guys that drive these cars, the '04 is supposed to have a slightly wider cockpit. I only ran into one guy who just did not fit in the car. He was 6'+ and had real long legs. When he lifted his foot off the clutch, his knee hit the back of the wheel. Otherwise, he was OK in the car, he just couldn't shift....

On the other hand, I know an older guy that owns a white S2K...he's around 6'4" with long legs as well. He fits fine in his car, but when he set in my wrx, with the seat all the way back, it was still too short for him
