Sound-wise I think this is probably one of the best BM videos. Both of those S2000s were hauling ass taking turns flat out at the top of third gear, amazing sounding exhausts YES!
STYLES NELSON I intended to put a 3SGTE into the front, and sometime in the future end up with sequential Twin-turbo pulling 500+hp at the flywheel ... and then I had to stop because I realized A) I didn't have the budget yet and B) I would have turned the s2k rear axle into into scrambled-eggs.
richiesworld1 The iron block can handle higher stress which means it can make more power. Throw in a 2.2 stroker, new cams and a new crank, some other unnamed bits and you practically have a JGTC engine. 3SGTE is a true race engine. They are amazing units.
I Ren yeah but where will you find those kind of parts and the money and most of those Toyota engine have discontinued parts which is a pain in the ass and rare or cost shit loads of money
I took my ap2 out for a quick stroll, and when I came back, I was psyched on the car; as prior to taking it out, I was having thoughts on keeping it(nothing serious but as the saying goes "everything has a price"). Mostly stock, except for tires, J's racing oilfilter stopper and Mugen shift knob and for cruising on some turns at the outskirts of town, it handles fantastic even with the original suspension. Such a good car, so yeah I think I'll continue to own mine for the foreseeable future.
MElekiaZ i bought a BB1 for 1700 bucks, its in great chassis condition so unfortunately its to good for a replica but it will become a good project anyway (:
Ray DM Thanks for responding Ray. If it cracks easily then it wouldn't be ideal in the long run. I'd like an Amuse bumper but man, the cost is so high usually... Have you seen the Greddy Gracer AP1 lip?
No problem. Look @4:30 you can see the lip has broken in that one race. Yes the Amuse bumpers are expensive but really worth it. I bought a Amuse Legalo bumper and the quality is pretty amazing. Yes I know the Greddy lip. I believe those are more durable than the Amuse one. They look pretty good.
Ray DM Yeah I see how it took damage and cracked... those Legalo bumpers are very nice. Highly priced though. Not that I mind but I have a few other things I want to buy for the car, not just the front bumper right now. Prioritizing a retune and exhaust. I will try to find the GReddy lip for a decent price that can be shipped to South Africa without being too costly. Any suggestions?
I thought about buying the lip for my ap1 but I lowered it and now I would just break it easily.. i am running my stock bumper now with no front lip, it’s literally sitting under my couch lol I do like that amuse lip though
Hi, Gotta say love your Videos big fan! Anyway, I make compilation videos where I take clips from other videos add some information and then play music over them. I was just wondering if I could have your permission to use 20 seconds max of this video. Obviously, the link will be in the description and all credit will be rewarded to you.
+brad ley I think they both run around the same camber specs in the rear. The J's Racing S2000 has higher offset wheels so it looks different. My guess is they run somewhere aound -3,5 / -4 degrees of camber in the rear.
brad ley No problem. I wouldn't recommend more than -3 degrees for a S2000 on street tires. Any more and you'd probably lose grip and have massive uneven wear.
The only way you’ll find it is through the video if they list it. I’ve watched multiple episodes with both these cars and the suspension changes each track
