I was gonna say that what it needed next is some thin black side splitters...then you showed them.Beautiful! But dusty, it needs a good wash.Oh you did that too...
So happy when I see a new episode is available. Keep up the good work! FYI: I'm putting an F20c into a mk2 escort and your throttle body DIY proved very useful. Thanks.
+navdrum001 awesome! We'd love to see some pics of your F20c Escort. Hit us up on Facebook if you get a chance. Wish we got the cool RWD Escorts here in North America.
I think you guys should wrap in bright white with speed academy text in black running from the rear quarter panel to the beginning of the front fender on an angle, the logo on the hood, and the motto below the rear license plate.
+assassin72 overall offset of the new setup will only be slightly more aggressive than we have on the car now. But we want to run a DOT semi-slick and for that the best size options and compound options are in 18'' diameters, plus we want to go a touch wider on the wheel and tire for more grip. More grip, more cornering speed, or so we hope. We'll find out soon :D
How well is the Carbon Fiber Roof made? Is this Fiberglass with a layer of Carbon or Carbon all the way? I want to buy one for mine but there are many knock offs. And are there any Wind Noises at Highway speeds?
any function to those side diffusers for this 'race car'? also, why not put a lightweight battery instead of getting the tie down made for the big stock battery, you can save 20lbs on a track battery.
+dasfurian yes, the side splitters will help prevent airflow from spilling under the car along the sides and disrupting the low pressure area beneath the car (that helps generate downforce). We haven't really done any weight reduction mods on the S2k yet, but we probably will eventually switch to a lightweight battery. But in the meantime, we have a pretty badass tie-down for the stock battery ;)
have you guys put in injectors on the car yet ? I remember when you guys were finishing itb installation that was one of the last things you needed just wondering where's the vid?
+Josh Poore Best buy I ever made man. I got a bonus with mine, It came with a OEM hardtop painted to match. I did my research and I was patient, took me a month to find it but it was worth the wait. Enjoy it bro!
I just ordered my Downforce fenders for the s2k from Evasive a few weeks back, they say there is a second version being released and a new mold being created because the old ones would warp. Any word on that? But it looks sick though, and ive heard about the Toyota weatherstripping.. really finishes it out nicely.
I was subconsciously expecting disco for this video too...but then I quickly realized it's not the Celica series. Maybe have the S2000 house, and keep the Celica disco? ...esp since they both fit the era.
+Michael Slevin the fronts are also wider by 30mm. The rear flares are 25mm wider than stock. So we've widen the front and rear by similar amounts (and the front needs the extra width more than the rear if you want to run the same size front and rear wheels and tires like we do).
Oh, gotcha. Just the combo of parts we liked. No other reason. We may go to a full panel wider rear eventually. We'll see how much more tire we want to fit on it.
when you guys do the dyno tune you guys should test the myth of loosing horsepower with the air filter of the itb's! i need to know if its true or not!
YES! i have only recently heard of riv nuts, but they seem like the most amazeballz thing. I dont see why you would use a rivet if you can use a riv nut. i need to get me one of those wonderful toys.
+samuel connolly yes, they help prevent airflow down the sides of the car from spilling underneath the car and disturbing the low pressure area that the front splitter is helping to generate. They are definitely an effective aero addition and work as part of the overall system of aero we're slowly developing for the car.
Ken: "did we just become best friends?" LOL
Finally someone on youtube who put flares on correct , nice and tidy job , not a hacked up ass that most others do . good to see :)
+Enduro North Nz We're trying to do things the right way!
Personally, this is my favorite of all your projects, and that's saying something as I love all of the projects. keep em coming, guys.
I always get excited when I see more progress on the project Badass2K
+Blake's Garage same
INJECTORS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for the next installment of the ASS2000!
Now that Petes back we can finally see those injectors get installed and hear the ITB induction noise goodness!
Love the way This BADASS2000 is built!!!
like that dance Ken! Hahaha. and the best friend part was the best
Another amazing video guys, can't wait to hear more from you guys. Wish you all best of luck.
I was gonna say that what it needed next is some thin black side splitters...then you showed them.Beautiful! But dusty, it needs a good wash.Oh you did that too...
We need to see Ken in his bed weeping in his bed about his rx7 while listening to Adelle. Give Rob Dahm a cameo too lol
So happy when I see a new episode is available. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely, I'll find you on FB this eve.
SA apron is so legit, good episode guys. The wide body kit looks really clean and the trim makes it look classy 👌🏾
+walt350z Thanks!
"Ken is not going under the car people so keep your chirping to yourself"
*ken sticks his head under the car*
Lol. Love the show guys!! Keep it up!
You guys seriously deserve waayyy more subs. And Ken's apron is dope haha
Lol thanks!
never a fan of hondas but you guys are winning me over with the s2k build. rate it
omg, finally! another badass 2000 episode
finally another video of the bad ass2000 awesome video looks great
from compton California
the badass2000 is in need of a big ass diffuser 😉
+Zachary Mullins definitely!
+Zachary Mullins and some serious canard action!
OCD was going nuts over the RS3s mounted on the wrong side ;-)
love the stepbrothers reference tho! So much room for activities lol Job well done as usual keep them updates coming! @speedacademy
Those fenders look really well made. would kill for something that fitt that well on my e36
I think you guys should wrap in bright white with speed academy text in black running from the rear quarter panel to the beginning of the front fender on an angle, the logo on the hood, and the motto below the rear license plate.
what bolts did you use to fasten the fenders?
Pete have so many cars this s2000, evo, porche and the nissan. He must have a very good job.
+cobratoxic This is my full time job! I just always buy cars for cheap then build them :)
perfect ride height nice build! iss it lowered on springs or coils? if so springs what brand and how's the quality , thanks!
Bout time!! My fav channel
you should wear neoprene gloves working with acetone. it cant leach into your skin which is not good for you.
but you are building a bad ass fleet !!
I'm surprised you guys are going wider for wheels and tires!
I think it looks great right now and the wheels seem to sit flush.
+assassin72 overall offset of the new setup will only be slightly more aggressive than we have on the car now. But we want to run a DOT semi-slick and for that the best size options and compound options are in 18'' diameters, plus we want to go a touch wider on the wheel and tire for more grip. More grip, more cornering speed, or so we hope. We'll find out soon :D
Speed Academy
I can't wait to see it! Hopefully it'll be at TMP when I'm there!
Is it possible to bolt on fender flares, Cover bolts with bunddo ,sand primer an paint.? Not a fan of bolts showing on flares
About time!!! Don't keep us waiting 😫
How well is the Carbon Fiber Roof made? Is this Fiberglass with a layer of Carbon or Carbon all the way? I want to buy one for mine but there are many knock offs. And are there any Wind Noises at Highway speeds?
wish you guys did more content. its great and always humerus!
love you guys friendship and fun videos. great job guys
that best friends reference lol got up cracking up.
ken is a riot! great video!!
What could I add to the fenders for more of a molded on look? like blend it in to the car with some sanding. helpplease
i love this build. makes me miss my s2k.
+Daniel Smith Dude I am mourning with you buddy! It hurts so bad!
I love the car guy dialog lmao it's the exact same thing when me and the bros are tinkering 😂
do the doors open ok with that extra rubber lip?
which hardtop is that? is it well insulated? quiet? waterproof?
Just a suggestion, I suggest going with APR GT3 Mirrors not only do they look cool but I think they will help with areo as well
+Matthias “Mathis” McCarthy cool idea!
I thought might as well do it
Is there a Reason why the Fronttires ar Mounted backwards?
how much basmati fits in that useless wing on the back? did you test it in a wind tunnel or set the angle nascar style with a hammer
ken is a great pinoy addition to this series.
Love the Step-Brothers reference!
Lol I got too excited when I saw Pete pull up in the tundra
LOL ken with the step brothers reference was funny.
Where's the porsche ? did you leave it in Arizona ?
The s2000 looks great
So much room for activities!
Ken is a crack up love the dance moves too!
any function to those side diffusers for this 'race car'? also, why not put a lightweight battery instead of getting the tie down made for the big stock battery, you can save 20lbs on a track battery.

Project grip s14 updates > s2000 update. Great video and the s2000 has come a long way, but I crave more s14 in my face.
+SILVIAsean we will give you a S14 facial soon, we promise
The side splitters look great!
for the fender moldings, is their a specific size for it?
No paint love for the CR front lip?
+Colin Blount we like it black, but we might paint it eventually. Still playing around with the old girl's style a bit.
More s2k! Series is so good
12:06 confirmed, Ken is in a Kpop boyband hahaha he is awesome! would be nice to see him in more videos :D and the car is looking amazing!
have you guys put in injectors on the car yet ? I remember when you guys were finishing itb installation that was one of the last things you needed just wondering where's the vid?
+Jesse Carrillo yup, injectors are in as of a couple days ago :D
Cool looking forward to video 😀
Badass2000 is look amazing! when is it hitting DDT? I want to go see it!
+testing316 not sure when we'll be at DDT. We do most of our testing at TMP, but we're also taking it to GridLife and/or HondaMeet down at Gingerman.
+Speed Academy cool any dates at TMP?
Nothing firm yet. But hopefully sometime in the next few weeks. Typically we go on Wed or Fri evenings since that's the cheapest track time available.
Forgot something in Texas Pete?
Is there a complete mod list for the ass2000 cause I just purchased one recently and want to improve handling I already have coil overs
+TicketsOnSale lots of details in our build stories on the website: speed.academy/?s=S2000
Nice..... nothing like a s2k update on the same week you buy one to further confirm that you bought the right car.
+Felix Melendez I get mine in a couple days!
+Josh Poore Best buy I ever made man. I got a bonus with mine, It came with a OEM hardtop painted to match. I did my research and I was patient, took me a month to find it but it was worth the wait. Enjoy it bro!
I just ordered my Downforce fenders for the s2k from Evasive a few weeks back, they say there is a second version being released and a new mold being created because the old ones would warp. Any word on that?
But it looks sick though, and ive heard about the Toyota weatherstripping.. really finishes it out nicely.
+be ef that's news to us on the sides warping. Ours are nice and straight so far.
Good, lets hope they dont.
If you had to pick a car either the s2000 or the frs for Track and street use which would you pick thanks in advance
Andrew Agard I'd pick the AP2
I was subconsciously expecting disco for this video too...but then I quickly realized it's not the Celica series. Maybe have the S2000 house, and keep the Celica disco? ...esp since they both fit the era.
Ken rocks and he is hilarious!!!
Is there a way to install them with out the bolts or screws?
Not unless you mold them into the body.
Note that your front left tire is mounted backwards or you switched this wheel with a wheel from the other side...
+agfx000 lol ya, Pete noticed that too when he had a look at the car. The bastard...
A show car is not always a race car, but a race car can always be a show car
Just found your fender vids, nice work. Gives me insight into doing this on my wrx. Cheers! Liked and subbed
dc2 sidemarkers are plug and play on the s2k chassis but are also more flush with the body if you want to go that route. #themoreyouknow 😁
+JSLay cool idea! Thanks for the tip (that's what she said).
Why put flares on the back but a full wider fender on the front? Why not new fender or flares all around?
+Michael Slevin the fronts are also wider by 30mm. The rear flares are 25mm wider than stock. So we've widen the front and rear by similar amounts (and the front needs the extra width more than the rear if you want to run the same size front and rear wheels and tires like we do).
+Speed Academy but why not use wider fenders front and back instead of wide fenders and flares? Doesn't look bad but just wondering.
Oh, gotcha. Just the combo of parts we liked. No other reason. We may go to a full panel wider rear eventually. We'll see how much more tire we want to fit on it.
+Speed Academy awesome. Really enjoying the series btw, and love that you guys have so many different builds going on at once!
Thanks! We're hustling as hard as we can on them all, and we're crazy enough to be adding a new project shortly.
loll ken had to be a murse. good work pare!
What rims are you guys running?
when you guys do the dyno tune you guys should test the myth of loosing horsepower with the air filter of the itb's! i need to know if its true or not!
+mokagie will will definitely be testing with the filter on and off.
Awesome video as usual, need jack stands though.
What wheels are you guys planning to put onto that beast?
+FreeWillehh a new design from Gram Lights. We should have them soonish.
Mind sending some stickers to a broke college kid, awesome build by the way!!
Could you do a video of washing the cars?
+li_auto in bikinis?
+Speed Academy what else?! 😳😂
Dave in a one-piece, Pete in a thong. Done deal.
lol, that step brothers reference though 😂
how about matched colour for the front lips hehe
+Edwin nathanael We left it black to keep the contrast with the rest of the car.
The girls must like Ken - he saves lives and yet so handsome and humble. :P
+TassieLorenzo the ladies do love him, but he's too busy building his FD to notice ;) Plus he has an amazing g/f, so no need to shop around.
Where did ken buy his hoodie from?
+rocketsneakers he buys all his cloths at Winners, lol.
you installed riv nuts for the fender flares?
+Serg Stroble yup, because we love rivnuts. Totally unnecessary. Regular rivets would have been fine.
YES! i have only recently heard of riv nuts, but they seem like the most amazeballz thing. I dont see why you would use a rivet if you can use a riv nut. i need to get me one of those wonderful toys.
do the side splitters even make a difference?
+samuel connolly yes, they help prevent airflow down the sides of the car from spilling underneath the car and disturbing the low pressure area that the front splitter is helping to generate. They are definitely an effective aero addition and work as part of the overall system of aero we're slowly developing for the car.
Thank you!!
what color code is that?
He's not going under the car, people!! ... Ken puts his head in under the car... :D
Guys do a cold air intake for the itbs
+Dani Rodrigues definitely thinking about it!
Glad to hear that! Nice job so far ;)
What year is it
What is the exact hardware you guys used ?
+TheOg Boosjukie Dave will have a detailed story up on our website next week including hardware specs.
finally after 2 months
what size tires??
where are you from originally ken?
+Ivan Belen we call him the Pinoy Hammer for a reason! (he's from the Philipines).
Nice heheh thanks
4:36 exactly I how feel with Ken after I found this channel
Nice video :) Keep on the good work guys ;) btw. would you recommend to buy a mazda miata na? :D
+Jan 94 for sure we would. Love NA Miatas. We will build one someday, maybe with a K swap :D
+David Pratte good to hear :) now i'm excited :)
she's looking good!!
Awesome series :D
How much mm spacers did you use ?
+dani Siles on the wheels? No spacers at the moment. Those are 17x9 +40 Gram Lights, but we'll be switching them out for 18x9.5 +38 wheels shortly.
