weird noises.....from my s2000

[.::F[L]Y::.]

hey guys/girls

just got some questions in regards to the s2000...

my s2k is having some small issues mainly making weird noises...

the first is a weird ticking noise after i turn off the car, the noise appears to be coming from the mid to the rear of the vehicle.

second, the car makes an annoying vibrating/whining noise when i let go of the accelerator.

third problem is in regards to handling, the car handles as if its being pushed side to side by gusts of wind. Under hard accerlation its difficult to keep the car straight it moves side to side. Im assuming the car just needs a wheel alignment but have read somewhere that the car's sub frame may need to be realigned??

i will try and investigate further into whats causing these problems but if anyone has encountered any of these issues with their s2000 before please post here.

the whining noise could be the infamous clutch rattle thing. If it is youre gonna need a new clutch to get rid of that one. But not 100%, have to hear the noise to know. My dads S2k has same problem, I think that they fixed it in the later models.

The ticking is just the exhaust cooling down - as when metal heats it expands! Im pretty sure its this - as almost all cars do it - especially after a hard drive!

yeh the buzz is really annoying LOL..

let me rephrase, the car moves side to side when doing over 100km...jus cruising along on the freeway. AND pascoe i didnt fully give it cause it was wet, the car still went sideways however haha

to sum it up, driving an s2000 is more demanding then driving my EG lol the shifting takes getting use to (quite easy to pop it into the wrong gear)...power wise feels good when vtec engages.

2k for a EG is to little. Try 6+.
30k for a s2000 is to little... s2000's still go for over 40k usually for the 99/2000 models...

check your rear tyre pressures
