- This was a really challenge.
Everything that had been touched had issues and leaked...
Wire Tucked are not my favorite. It makes things harder to work on and usually cause future issues from wiring rubbing and being pulled wrongly.
This one took 3 times as much as planned and ran into other jobs.
This may be back from round 2.
Also a little behind the scenes and plans. L-Sight, CRXs etc

Wins car show trophy. Header falls off on the way home. 😂
The amount of issues with this S2000 is borderline hilarious. I hope LHT billed this guy accordingly. Props for LHT to show us what goes on with these highly modified vehicles.
I think LHT felt sorry for the owner if another "specialist" shop mangled this S2K. Surely they came to an agreement after more and more issues surfaced.👍🏻
Thanks I guess there's always some smug jerk who doesn't know what he's talking about shitting on some ones situation.
You dont even know the situation. Just sound like a hater.
@RaveDaver he did feel bad. He truly went in and found all the problems I've been chasing. A guy named Andy took this car from perfect to what you saw. Had some friends help but it was as you saw way too much.
This is why Alec Bledsoe at Late Model Performance no longer takes modified cars in to work on. Unfortunately, there are too many shops that do terrible work. This guy got taken to the cleaners. I’m glad he has LHT Performance to help with what they can.
5 minutes in and I feel your pain
And to think that guy prob spent a fortune on a hack job. Glad you see y’all straighten him out 🙌
Geez I love when that CRX makes an appearance. I feel for the S2000 owner, it came to the right place though. You guys always show the detail in this work and don't hide the effort it takes to make it right, its not always as easy as bolt on a part and go race. There's tweaking and paying attention to every aspect of how the OEM parts join the aftermarket. Great video/job guys!
Dang I would never agree to work on a wire tucked car. You are a brave man.
First red flag would be whatever shop sprayed the entire engine & driveline with silver paint to make it 'look fresh'.
Thank goodness they came to you John, thanks for the video!!💯
It’s things like this is why I just end up doing everything myself on my cars. I had my insight turbo by “FWD performance“ in Texas and they butchered everything up after telling me a price then holding my car hostage until I paid almost double what was agreed-upon just to have the car running like shit, turbo already blown before I even picked it up along with quite a few other issues. The funny thing is you actually commented on one of his videos. Almost $6000 down the drain just to drive it maybe 150 miles just for me to rip everything back off of it and put it back to stock.
John, you are absolutely correct! Stay away from that carpet as much as you can. When you are handling those ecu's, especially when they don't have the case on them. I repair motherboards for a living and I wear anti-static wrist straps and have my chair on an anti-static mat with another anti-static mat on my workbench. Electrostatic discharge really is a thing that can hurt Motherboards/ electrico components and you will never see it happen. You will just find the symptoms of it later when your board isn't working, right.
Agreed. I used to rebuild medical devices (ventilators and such) where critical components were used. Always a grounding on the wrist.
LHT, damn this guy put a ton of money into this S2K. The people who did the tuck job, screwed it up, and he had to pay more. Glad to see that you guys sorted it out properly. Cheers mates.
It is amazing that you and George know how to do all these rebuilds.
Wire tuck nightmare 😫 I appreciate you guys doing the right thing, fixing issues despite the challenges. I hope your customers appreciate that, I know I do!
Thanks. The customer was very appreciative. We did far more than anticipated but he needed someone to show some Care.
Using the right parts and doing the work correctly, like LHT does, takes the guessing out of everything. Cutting corners costs way more in the long run. Great job guys!
What a POS. People that do this shotty type of work. Please don’t touch cars. Thanks LHT for repairing this mess!
The owner is very lucky you accepted this job and kept going all the way. 🍀 It received the LHT passion without shortcuts.
Very lucky he accepted indeed. I've been through hell with this car. Had my trans stolen guy even took my brake lines all those crazy things you saw they stole from me. Had some friends help me alot but lht knows these car inside and out they found all the things we couldn't.
Every time I purchase something I go to Honda and bur oem bolts or arp bots. They other guy stole ny trans and all kinds of parts. Car only has 24k miles
Thank you John for fixing all the problems I had. 🙏
This S2000 represents a story that is old as time.
Have a dream, slap that dream together, and take it to a professional to iron out the issues.
Back to things that are as old as time, AKA vintage...John, Paul, George, and Ringo are proud.
The story is more like i had a thief steal from my car to slap on to some other car but yea. I chased this dream through hell and back.
Seriously, God bless you guys for your honesty. 🙏
Once again really grateful for you john. Thank you for giving me my car back as a car and not a driveway ornament.
I’m glad we could get it running. You deserve some better luck. Stay positive and don’t let it get you down.
@@LHTPerformance I appreciate. It's nice to have it home in one piece.
I absolutely enjoy watching these videos. You guys are great,
Yes! So happy to see the Insight back!
Outstanding job
That 2.4 superficially looks nice but the extent of prior jankey mechanical work is inexcusable. How does someone live with themselves doing that? Sorry you guys have to chase it. Keep up the great work!
Had a hack shop steal my trans and all kinds of parts and screw me over. I've been Chasing their shit for years. I spent the right money just had a shady shop steal it off my car.
Always loved the L-Sight
Love your content. Really looking forward to the CRX build.
Oh my, this car is the gift that keeps on giving 😂
Jesus! When I fist saw this car I assumed someone who would do that much work and spend that much money would make sure the build is as quality as it looks. Wow what a basket case. Good job guys!
Love the insight!
Yay, more insight content!
🙌 L H T 🙌
It’s funny that the L-sight showed back up in this video because I was just watching the green one that you were planning on doing an L-sight to…The very same one I just bought last week. The guy I bought it from is the one who bought it from you. The guy was still driving it with no IMA. Still have all your notes and receipts to the car in the bag. In the process of restoring it but with some more modern hardware. I was thinking about taking a drive down there when I’m done with it.
You guys are better than me. Someone calls me with this kind of stuff I don't even want to look at it. I found you always get stuck in the middle of someone else's crap. Worst case senerio you end up in court with the customer and other shop. No Thank You! Kudos to you guys.
lol dude probably got hit with a MASSIVE bill.. This is what happens when you dont do things right from the start... Costs you more money in the long run!.. And Im sorry, but like 90% of "motorsports" shops are straight trash these days... SOO many just do terrible work... LHT is a breath of fresh air, and thats sad because all LHT does is just take their time and do things right! Which is what all shops should be doing!
that old ECU most likely needs to have all the old capacitors replaced. When it shows issues, look at the board with a flir and see which components are hot. that might help to identify a shorted component. A lot of electronics that are going bad will act fine at normal temperature and will show a failed condition when heated.
Projects rarely go to plan
i purchased a eg6 with power steering hoses hidden inside the wheel well, seems tyres were rubbing on it and one day it burst...had ps fluid all over my brakes and tyres..luckily was going slow at the time..but sure scared the shit outa me...been putting back things where it belongs but its been a challenge with the wiring.
1 minute in and he should have came to you first 🏆
1:25 Mickey mouse racing did the wire and pump job? 😂
Have you ruled out a cam position sensor? I've fixed a few cars which had issues where the metal in the sensor would deflect with heat and the signal would skew, resulting in horrible timing and trigging lights before dying.
Cool down and it was good. The longer it cooled then you could get max driving time. Cool down for only 15 minutes (on a warm day) and you won't be driving long if at all.
Let me know if this happens to be the fix.
Good luck, you'll figure it out.
Obviously ensure it has all the proper grounds too.
I swear these suspect install jobs are usually always done in the Honda community. The shops that specialise in BMW, MB, Porcshe, and Audi don’t do shoddy work. While it does probably happen it’s very seldom compared to the Honda community. Or having parts removed from your car while it’s in the shops parking lot. Good luck stealing a PDK trans out of Porsche and replacing it with whatever lol.
Wow...
What wheels are you running on that Honda Insight John?
I fixed a inline pro car and man they fucked that s2000 up!!!! I did 11 hours of rewiring lines, piggyback and all
Just leave it OEM. No problems.
This s2k is the opposite of mine: BONE STOCK
Love your videos!! Question: my 2006 S2000 has the right bulb on the dome light barely lit when the doors are closed. Open the doors and they light up like normal. I had the passenger door light switch sticking and cleaning it where it doesn’t stick anymore however the right bulb on the dome light (led bulbs) still stays barely lit. Any idea?
Every led I’ve tried in that location doesn’t work right. My problem is always flickering and not staying lit. The only one that works is Philips. I don’t screw around with any other brand any. The car in question is a 2003 S2000.
@@davereiland9921 ordered the Phillips LED 30mm bulbs. Same issue. Cleaned the door contact switches no luck. Cleaned the dome light contacts no luck. Maybe it is one of the resistors in the dome light assembly?? LHT any thoughts??? For good measure I ordered two brand new door switches and a brand new dome light assembly from Honda and will see if that works. Otherwise I have to remove the passenger light bulb from the dome light assembly and I have no barely dime lights when the door is closed and when I open the door the drivers dome light works as it should. Puzzled!
@@Chris05STi1982 damn that’s weird.
It may be a resistance thing, I would look into using bulbs that have a built in cambus eliminator. Sometimes if you don’t have enough resistance, the bulbs will flicker or sometimes stay very dimly lit. Only seems to happen in the interior light on the S2000. All the other bulbs are fine to use regular LEDs.
@@LHTPerformance excellent information, thank you 👍🏻
first like :P
Jeez, some people shouldn't build/work on cars. "But I watched a TH-cam video..." Nah man, stick to ChrisFix for a how-to for the brakes on your Cavalier.
Yikes.
Wow. Sucks
