What car should we cover next?! If you're looking to mod your car, Stage wheels are 10% off this month! Check them out and more at www.martiniworks.com
I bought a 100k miles S2000 that was meant to be a showcar, but has widebody (9.5 in front 11 in back), supercharged engine, pretty much the works. I ran the numbers and just the parts are 35k alone. Was such a gamble as I never even saw the car in person and I was extremely hesitant to buy someone else's project. I'm happy to report that I'm blessed af and have had no issues and every person that's seen the car was like "the previous owner really knew what they were doing". I've added additional mods and removed some per my liking, but damn what a vehicle. The S2k is so easy to work on too because the engine space is ridiculous. Yes, everything has a torque spec, but the information is widely available. All-in-all. I love my S2k and the S2k community. If anyone can afford one, I highly suggest your drive one and consider buying it. And finally, I will say that nowadays, this absolutely is a tuner car and a good one at that. Throw whatever the fuck you want on it and do your research. These cars are tanks and can handle a lot.
I’d highly highly recommend that if you are going to track the car start with cooling upgrade along with brakes and tires even though the factory stuff is really good. Then use your money for track days. A full adjustable suspension and lighter wheels would be my next step along with making the car lighter. You really don’t need to add power until you’ve gotten to the point where you’ve been able to push the car to level 10 consistently on the track.
S2k is not out of reach....yet. you can still find decent ones in the low 20s, rough ones for less. The really nice ones are the ones pushing 30k+. They will be too expensive soon enough tho.
@@user-ek5nl1jc4b people drive big auto suvs where i live so finding one at all is hard. even if i import one it'll be another 5 years till i can get it registered 😢
@S2KEVIN decent examples were never 10k cars and never will be. I bought mine at the bottom of the market years ago and got an awesome deal at 11k, which was pretty much dealership trade in value at the time. If you want an absolute junker, I'm sure you can still find one in that price range.
The front camber part was confusing. There are no camber plates available, because it's a double wishbone suspension. Adjustable upper control arms are available for camber adjustment.
Wrong. Factory intake is the best until you get to $2k fancy custom intakes. ITBs are just for sound, not for performance. Big cams aren't really worth the price for the power the give. You're better off just tuning the stock engine and adjusting VTEC
Don’t forget to swap out that restricting catalytic converter. When I went to a test pipe I had immediate throttle response on the stock ECU. With a Haltech and a tune my car really “woke up”!
@@MichaelFiame I went Berk test pipe to Berk HFC and it feels identical. On dyno it made the same exact power. Just for anyone who doesn't want to deal with the raspy exhaust and smell.
Plz do one for a 280zx, as a 81 280zx turbo owner struggling with saving up to redo all the rusted panals seeing you do a vid on one would be a amazing
I need a winter daily… I can’t get behind Subaru, and BMW scare me because that’s what I currently have. I need some good options for winter, but also had a bit of fun/sport behind them. Only things I can find are an Infinity Red Sport, a BMW 340xi, and an Evo X. All are terrible decisions; but I can’t really find anything else…
@@malakisands8180 Porsche sounds scary in terms of maintenance, wouldn’t consider that a good option. Mercedes would be the same problem I have now with typical high cost euro maintenance. I’m trying to move towards all Japanese; I refuse American domestics. I might be crazy asking for something affordable, AWD, reliable, and fun.
17x9 +45 will not fit in an s2 with a wide tire that's driven hard. Mine would rub up front with a +60 with the fender tabs bent only running a 225 up front, there is more space in the rear. Also camber plates aren't needed for dual a-arm cars. They actually do nothing. This advice is questionable as someone who has tracked an s2 quite a lot.
Saw the thumbnail and thought "how NOT to modify S2000". No car should have a wing that big unless u have at least 1000 WHP. The wide body looks like it was modded by a FRS owner.
@@lronSausage I would do some research or get some track time yourself before throwing around bold misinformation over things you know nothing about. You can have 150hp or 900hp, either way a large wing helps for track performance. It increases useable grip via downforce on the rear. There's a reason why in racing comp grouping they split up cars who don't have aero from those who do-- Aero makes a huge difference. Added weight isn't enough to matter. A wing can add 15-35lb. Not enough for a noticeable difference. Wings-- although creating downforce for more grip-- also create drag. Drag is bad. But again, the positives heavily outweigh the negatives. Newer cars have "active-aero". These are wings which have an actuated flap to increase downforce when needed in the corners, and go back to being flat on straights to reduce drag, and reduce downforce.
@@GrungeGarageNmight as well make it the size of a dinner table then, the positives heavily outweigh the negatives. Buddy, that wing is literally bigger than a GT3 RS. I guess the engineers designing it should have consulted you first and get some track time so they can understand it needed to be bigger for more downforce.

Coilovers, wheels and tires, cold air intake, and a tune.
If you wanna get spicy then you do ITBs and cams too.

@@philspaghetagree with this guy, stock intake outperforms most aftermarket intakes, and ITBs are finicky at best.

Can you guys do the new 11th gen civic pls?
They are still cheap considering prices of new cars nowadays going for $40k+.
oh agree easy. id much rather pay 25-30k for a s2k than that for a newer car
These days a short barrel like that is meant to be suppressed. That way the loss of velocity is balanced by the short oal with a can on it.
Is the gr 86 compared in terms of handling and feeling to an s2000?
doesn’t compare to the s2000 bro

Exactly!
Lmao. A wing that big is necessary if you track the car. It shaves off 1-2 seconds on the track.
