how many miles do s2ks last im planning to get one for my first car but the only way is by buying a cheap one with like 100k miles?

[darenzy]

@Wh4tn0w510 Well I read about it somewhere, some guy said that he got s2000 with 127 000km(round 80k) on clock. It was was so good that he put turbo in it, and got round 700hp. And it's reliable too.... But I would keep it n/a, much better sound and more than enough power... So with 100k on clock it should be good, if it's been well looked after...

I bet you bought it now, after 5months :)

Nice vid, I love my Ap1. So much fun to drive. Mine right now only has sways (front and back) coilovers and Toyo proxes 4s. But she takes turns wonderfully.

[DcEvoIX]

very nice all it needs is 4.5-4.7 gears (and me driving ;-) lol I wish) nice driving tho I hope to have an s2k soon not much left to do on my del sol before I can sell it and finally get me an ap1 can't wait

[robrobinette]

@DcEvoIX I recently added 4.44 gears and a OS Giken clutch differential.

[DcEvoIX]

@robrobinette nice how much better does it feel exiting the apex

[robrobinette]

@DcEvoIX The car is actually pushing bad from the apex. The extra grip from the inside rear wheel is causing it. I may have to tweak my camber settings and work on smoother throttle application in the corners.

[DcEvoIX]

@robrobinette u can try getting it corner balanced maybe and yea proper throttle control is everything but not always easy when having such a good time in an s2k lol

[WeAreTeamGriz]

@robrobinette whats the camber sitting at for the front tires?

[robrobinette]

@WeAreTeamGriz Camber settings are: -3.5 in the front and -3.0 in the rear.

[WeAreTeamGriz]

@robrobinette It should feel a litte tight am i right?

[robrobinette]

@WeAreTeamGriz These camber settings result in a really balanced car. I'm running 255 width tires all around which requires a stiff front anti-roll bar and a little more camber than in the rear.

[WeAreTeamGriz]

@robrobinette Well all and all you still have one of THE SEXIEST cars ever!

[Aucteg]

I envy u guys that drive ur car's the way they were made to be driven. KUDOS

[vantage131]

Very nice!

[morristauch]

simply amazing...

[jamestaggreen]

damn what kinds of mods did you have in ur s2k to be following a gt3???

[robrobinette]

Stock engine with stock mufflers replaced with magnaflow cans, K&N intake, PSS9 coilovers, Comptech adjustable front swaybar, Nitto NT01 r-compound tires. That's all it takes to make the S2000 a track freak.

[wcwashington]

this is awesome i would love to hit up a track and learn how to drive on it like this... s2k's are sweet

[c2mojo]

I am a Porsche driver and i like your attack line better. Nice driving

[robrobinette]

I did both days. I got 5th place in RWD Modified.

[chrismodiano]

what kinda mods you need to be top 5 competitive in that class?

[robrobinette]

Redline Time Attack rules change a lot every year. A TTC-TTB level S2000 used to be competitive in Modified RWD but the current rules would require forced induction and big suspension changes to make the top 5.

[e3opian]

Did you just do the HPDE or did you run on Sunday, too?

[robrobinette]

The original video is a hi-res avi. I can set it up for download from my website if you'd like it.
