Kyle's S2000

Update

Alright Alright Alright I got a laptop again time for an update!

Did the third and last track day for the year and it was crazy hot track temp was 65 degrees. They ran the sprint track at Queensland Raceway which was pretty fun. At the end of the day when the track cooled down I got out there on the last run and surprisingly was the only one I track which was sweet I had plenty of time to warm the tyres and brakes up and do a flying lap and managed to beat my new Pb again by almost a full second.

Now its all about prep for 2015! Hopefully the car turns out the way I imagined and hoping all parts arrive so I can set it all up and hopefully get a tune.


Another track day done and dusted


Installed Ap2 tail lights makes such a difference to the car


New rotors with the pads worked well the whole day through the heat


New raditor did its job also, pretty devo mine has an imperfection where the top fan bolt doesn't line with the radiator


Recently got my lip installed and front bar shaved starting to come along


Ohh yeah this bad boy arrived on the weekend


The quality is amazing which is what you'd expect. Not sure if ill put the top on yet I might consider a respray and get it all done at once.

Spending all this money on genuine parts only does hurt the wallet but nothing beats genuine. For as long as the car is mine hopefully ill be able to say everything is 100% Genuine!

Still waiting on a few parts and have placed a few orders on other things:
Js Racing Intake & Cooling Plate
Js 70RR Exhaust system (On its way)
Hardrace RCA
Invidia Test Pipe
APR Mirrors

oh Kyle. What a nice list of parts you have there.

Haha this guy! So many parts he forgets he has a voltex diffuser sitting at home as well. Pics of that pls

Regarding the mishimoto radiator I think all of them have that little defect when the fan doesn't line up 100%. Mine did as well at first. Just force that mount to the hole and shove a bolt in there. My plastic fan shroud was pretty easy to bend so wasn't all that hard.

That list of parts is just ridiculous! Can't wait to see the car once it's completed!

Feb 12 is the start of the QLD Time Attack track day of the series, I want to try and do the whole year if I can get the time off work. From here on im really just trying to get all the parts on and make sure the sure is ready. A few new suspension parts should be arriving shortly and a couple of other parts that will help with my lap times. Ill try do as much testing as I can on the track days with all the new parts. Last track day I pretty much hit my limit fairly early and only because it was cooler and zero people on the track I got my new PB.

Here is a few things that arrive this week that I stalled last night!






Much swearing many angry to get the seat in, Bride weren't joking when they said you should put it in an S2000




This sounds beautiful on idle and all the way to 9000rpm


Got a quick release with it too makes it a tad easier to get out

[kcl69]

I'll probs start posting again soon, don't even have a phone ATM

Still stand by my claim of best s2000 in aus at the moment!

[kcl69]

[eskimo_firefighter]

Despite already seeing pictures of it we need a full update on this car Kyle!

[kcl69]

Im back

Finally I am back and with it an almost unrecognisable car. With the car now just about complete its time for a huge year at the track.

Going to just upload photos and leave a quick mods list below of the main changes. Enjoy

Voltex Circuit Bar
Voltex 1700mm Type II GT Wing
Voltex Diffuser
Mugen Hardtop
Zeal Super Function 16kg
Js Racing RR Exhaust
APR GT3 Mirrors
Js Racing Intake
Trust Oil Cooler
Ap2 Headlights
















Two weeks ago I did my first track day of the year and it ended up shit. First flying lap getting used to the near setup saw me beat my PB and then have to pit for three hours of rain. After the track dried up I was back out there swerving through traffic when bang, my sandwhich plate to the oil filter blew off and had my spinning off the track at 160km. That was me for the day, thankfully the only damage was my ego and I was able to get the tyre that came off the bead back on and back to home. Of course going home to make things worse I was pulled over and given a defect for my ride height and front bar.

Next track day is March the 15th, hopefully have my Cusco FSB,. APR Brake Cooling Kit, Js Racing Front Camber joints and RCA on by then.

I also dropped into Mercury Motorsport and purchased a Haltech Platinum Pro and IQ3 Display Dash while they were on sale. Don't plan to get a tune till headers arrive and im running lap times im happy with.

THANK YOU FOR READING <3
