nah i dont think it is , however im just expecting the worse cus thats what rotary ownership does to you

Think it is as simple as a CV joint , allthough having the car towed was not a good ideal with the diff , but ill just have to wait and see.

Have the S2000 got an LSD as standard? If so towing isnt a good idea...........although if you have popped a CV or taken the knuckle off your driveshaft then it shouldnt have done any damage to the diff anyway.

Hope you sort it dude!

Yeah does have an LSD , allthough i only towed it about 100 yards as it happened on the road outside Honda so hopefully with the clutch in it wont have done to much damage.

Honda just called to say its the CV joint and driveshaft , £200 for parts plus a few hours fitting,

They said i must have been launcing hard in it

...maybe the LSD in this isnt as good as the RX one

No, that's a common saying in the Honda Civic crowd. What they mean to say is the V-Tec is the most reliable engine.
