Hey Cam, I’ve been a follower for a few years now (my daily is an ‘18 fk8) but my (just finished) project is ‘73 bmw 2002 with an ‘07 AP2 engine. The engine is an absolute beast and as much as I love my K20c1, the F22c1 is so much more enjoyable for me. The sounds, the feel, and that redline always hit the spot. So one more vote from me on getting an s2k 🤚 Good luck and keep up the content!

The S2K shifter is by far one of the best factory shifters. But when you add the Hybrid Racing shifter to one it honestly is a game changer.
@sdalexander8505 11 ай бұрын
I cringe when people say “this is the way it should have come from factory”, when they have modified it to have lightning fast throttle response, lighter flywheel, heavy clutch… The S2000 is already a pretty raw driving experience even stock. Honda made it that way on purpose, but it’s still meant to be driven normally in normal everyday traffic. I love VTEC, but it doesn’t need to kick in yo before 4000 rpm. That’s like normal cruising rpm in these.
@JonHop1 11 ай бұрын
It depends on your setup.. And it depends how you want the car to drive and have the torque delivered.. For me, I prioritize torque and midrange on the street, so having lower vtec to get the air flowing is ideal so you can be moving at lower rpm.. You will sacrifice top end, but its all about how you want to drive the car.. I have the best of both worlds in the dc5.. Its awd, 600whp, k20A Type R head and K24a2 bottom end. Vtec comes in at 4500rpm, and it revs to 9k and pulls all the way to redline. Its a Wonderful car to drive daily too because it has such great torque. Yeah, it doesnt have that crazy 6k rpm crossover, but I dont really want that either.
@ayowser01 11 ай бұрын
It's true. My vtec is set to 4500rpm at Wot, and the engagement is so smooth that you can hardly tell vtec is engaging. The mid-range torque is nice, and it still pulls hard all the way to redline.

I test drove an AP1 at a dealership about 6 months after getting my 2017 Si and learning how to drive manual. I got cocky and I thought I could drive anything with a stick at that point. Boy was I wrong. The RPMs drop like a rock in the S2000. I roasted the clutch so bad. I looked at the salesman before getting out of the parking lot and said “this is completely different than my Si” You’re really not going that fast in the s2000, but even 40 mph feels like a rocket ship because you feel everything.

The owner is right about slowing down your shift speed. Older gearboxes don't really like to be hurried, you should grip the shifter lightly and feel it go into gear. You'll blow out the synchros prematurely. I have friends who shift like this and it drives me crazy.

Even if they bring it back it will never be the same because safety and emissions regulations will kill the spirit and essence of the s2k. I do hope they bring it back because it will make people realize how good the original s2k was.
@justwingingit1 11 ай бұрын
@@sengvang3718 I’m sure you’re right unfortunately but let’s all cross our fingers that Honda will produce an S2000 that will honor the original while also adhering to the current automotive standards. I know it’s wishful thinking but a non hybrid Type R powered slightly larger S2000 would be nice. Various car companies like Ford are not jumping on the electric bandwagon too soon because of a number of reasons…especially lack of profitability. There will be time for other full electric Honda models…let’s just hope Honda doesn’t ruin the S2000 like Acura did to the Integra…until the recent Type S.

The medallion exhaust on my AP2 supercharged S2000 does have drone and the the exhaust is much louder compared to the factory one. If I had a stock S2000, I am sure the medallion exhaust wouldn’t have drone. I had the medallion exhaust off and on my car like three different times in one month. I ended up going back to stock since I couldn’t deal with it.

If you have shorter legs log torso you are at the limit. Long legs going to have trouble hitting steering wheel. I did install 1 inch lowering seat rail and it helped a Lot. I’m 6’1 but have longer torso. If you were to get a aftermarket racing seat that will put you another inch lower. You would fit perfectly in the car.
