I already did years ago for my own S2k!! Works great!! Very affordable with brake rotors and pads. Full kit under $2000 for this 6 piston!!! Only thing is must have 18 inch wheels
After having a k24 for years and now a hi comp k24 theres a few reasons why i prefer the f series F series is better on fuel.. alot better. F series is smooth has no vibration issues that realy takes the fun out of the k series. Toda spec f22 will make very similar power to a k24 high comp. Feels alot nicer to drive. And cost is similar. But the f22 is a fraction slower down to the power curve. 1mph from 80 to 130mph F20 has bags more character. Im still currently k24 hi comp but possibly going back after this year. Will probably be slower on the track. But i could do alot more trackdays and have fun doing them as the f series is also more reliable! This is real world experience ive had compared to my own s2000s and a group of friend's. The car is also built to a high standard and been through alot of parts to get it to try and drive as nice as a f series. Also been through alot of gearboxes and clutches due to vibrations. This car is driven hard on tracl and occasionally driven on the road. Just bare in mind it isnt a maintenance free swap of you drive it with enthusiasm.
Hey guys I know this is a old video but I want to get this but my old job did a coolant delete for my skunk2 TB. I want to replace it with this because I'm having issues with mine sticking. Can I use this without connecting the coolant hose? Thank you.
@@BalladeSports I mean wouldn't it be stronger and more simple to produce if there were no welds especially so close to the manifold when it gets really hot?
I ran the Hardrace UCA ball joints for about 2 years. One day while inspecting / changing brake pads, I noticed that the front ball joints were actually spinning in the UCA hole when the knuckle turned 😮. The snap ring was the only thing holding the ball joint in. The ball joint literally fell out when I removed the snap ring. I replaced all 4 with new Honda control arms. Needed less rear camber and ended up just buying the Megan rear UCA. It's not a well designed piece. The ball joint rotates unless you use oversized wrenches and serious power to lock them down. In the front I now have to use an SPC adjustable upper ball joint, because I broke both front knuckles from using an offset lower ball joint. The increased leverage from the offset and RCA causes the smaller lug on the front knuckle to crack and fail.
not possible on my setup as my spring acts on the upper controll arm. but this gave me high spirits. im currently building a track car and so an extreme weight reduction was done. so even with my lowering springs it seats higher than with stock springs. becauce therye way stiffer. ow i know what needs to be done to lower it! thanks!

Can you tell me how you were able to tighten crank pulley bolt without crank turning? Did you have the transmission in gear and parking break on? I don't have an impact and I notice the Honda tool doesnt appear to be able to work (octagon) with the Kraftwerks pulley. Thank you in advance!
Love the mirrors! Are they still foldable? Also what do you do without the passenger mirror camera? Do we need to reset the infotainment so that it won't show an error message?
People will talk sh*t, but the reality is that OEM hardtops are becoming very scarce and unattainable. So long someone is willing to put in the time, effort, money to recreate something that is so hard to get for the community, it's a thumbs up! Perfection, probably not. But with some adjustments like that, I'd say it's worth the money. As the community continues to support, maybe the small company can increase in sourcing quality as well. Just gotta give them a big thanks for trying to keep the community alive!
I got two. The first one from the scrapyard came out from Ep3 type r for £20 and the second one, I bought it from eBay with an original box for £68 a couple of years ago.
