Dude, your smile, your body expression is one of the top 10 from the last videos from Misha. Awesome build, wish we could have access to S2000 here in Chile. Saludos!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! On to many more laps together!!

El misha esta loco jejeje

Don't tell your wife or Girlfriend or whatever :D

Itchy and scratchy were in the wheelhouse

Misha is the definition of "give the man the tools and he'll get the job done"

Sound is good but slow lol

It's almost stock apart from coilvers and Aero 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

And tires. Which is literally all it needed to completely change the car.

@@JuanjeteMS and the aero slowed it down tremendously, for the rear wing to work you need a hardtop (or at least the roof up) otherwise it creates no downforce but a lot of drag ... that said, roof down is way more fun!

@@binskee677 air in the hair!!

I'd that's modded I'd hate to see stock

I totally agree: better to have a car with a good chassis and an amount of power that's not trying to kill you at every corner! That way having fun it's almost garanteed :)

Nope a supercharger works better on these engines

@@laidbackracing5559pro driver ?

Some of us get bored with low power but it's a cool car.

>rear brakes locking "Is that worse?" smh, more money than sense...

BMW too, there's been a lot of fun BMWs over the years, especially the old NA e36/46 M3s

@@bane2 BMW back then was GOLD! i think they lost their touch a bit, definitly fast but not as emotional

@@bane2 130i !!! 😉

PRICE is the big difference, between Honda and Porsche.

@@rainofpain2431 Reliability too ....

what is your 200hp fwd?

@@99Lezard99 first thing that comes to mind is a clio 3 or 4 rs?

Sold my AP1 a couple years ago and feel the same.

jup, a well sorted one turns in and keeps traction like nothing i have ever experienced yet, thanks to the double wishbones you don't really feel the weight too.

S2k rotates better than any car I’ve ever driven

With the right person behind the wheel, you can really make an S2k grip and rotate nicely With the wrong person behind the wheel, it will rotate a bit too much lol

I much prefer the F20C character over the F22C. There is definitely a torque deficiency, especially in the midrange, and I suspect the F22C actually made a bit more power. This was proven by countless dyno tests. But the F20C has a bit broader rev range, sounds better and is just more exhilarating imo. The F22C feels like the party ends just as its beginning.

@@bane2 actually the F22C made slightly less HP (237 instead of 240) except in japan both made 250hp, F22c makes more torque which makes it easier to drive and lets you pull more from slightly less rpm, the F20C if you want to get the most out of it you have to keep it in a very tiny RPM range like 7500 rpm to 9000, it's possible due to the short gearing but not a easy task, even Misha dropped out of it a few times and you can immediately hear and feel it.

YES! I haven’t owned an S2000 for many years but when I had an AP1 and frequented forums, many talked about the F20C engine paired with the AP2 transmission and/or differential and said it was a fantastic pairing. Always wished I could experience that, but I LOVED the F20C and tbh the torque difference really isn’t thaaat large. One benefit to the AP2 is that you can easily use something like Hondata to change when VTEC engages and make other adjustments. By the numbers FWIR AP1 usually ranged 190-205WHP stock, AP2 closer to 205-220WHP but my memory may be failing me don’t quote that lol.

Funny, MX-5 world is a bit similar. Some truly do prefer the 1.6L in the older NA models despite it being obviously inferior in a few different ways. Part of that is just the experience and sensations plain and simple. Personally, I adore my 1991 NA6 and the 1.6L engine, it reminds me so much of my old S2000 but is less precise steering bit more mushy but more road feel, slower of course, and lower revving. Miata is waaay more forgiving near the limit hahaha. I always thought a perfect car for my liking would be my 2180lb Miata mated with the F20C engine but apparently that requires steering geometry changed to get in so the K swap is the obvious choice but man I totally understand why there are a ton of F20C and F22C1 swapped AE86s out there!

@@Weather_Nerd yes! I'm partial to the 1.6 in NA Miatas and to me that's the best Miata motor ever made!

If it was supercharged with a kraftworks unit and it made 400whp it could be a serious weapon at that power level.

id say for thier displacement and thier respective class, they are probably the fastest.

@@99Lezard99 Naturally aspirated yes, i think there is no 2L 4cyl NA production engine with 250hp right? Car is just a bit too heavy i think, if it mas Miata weight, that would be a rocket!

Ur asking for too much man everyone first wanted suspension here u go an earo car with suspension sure it could have a hardtop and stiffer springs

This car was fine.

this car was good, but yea i agree with you, i think the content will come, i think Misha started to post the stock ones first and ist going up from there, i wouldn't be surprised if he already had driven a well sorted out one!

No, make sure no one gets him a sorted one, that way we get more s2k's.

@@TrueBDaddy hahaha true! I heard ferrari is looking for a new strategist ;) you should apply =D

Supercharged with 400+whp would be a serious ring monster...

@@smooth_ops2942 Would be glorious.

Thats a really clever work around 👍🏻

I was honestly sketched out after I saw how it oversteered on braking. but dang this thing will be quick when he sorts that out.

There is an issue with the ABS or it wouldn’t happen. The car is set up to rotate under braking from the factory but without ABS too much force goes to the rear brakes.

Yeah that's NOT good, would def freak me out, would be constantly in the back of my head He still friggin ripped though Sort that out and that little things obviously even quicker Does he have any footage of a lap in a Honda (or any dohc N/A smaller displaced engine) that he considers well sorted and basically enabled him to have a clear head the whole lap?

@@bane2 while that is true, you can also achieve favorable handling by biasing the front and not using abs.

Aero for the S2000 has proven to work for decades now. Every proper track S2k has wing and splitter
