You know I thought there would be a lot more Honda enthusiasts in here, but all I'm seeing is a bunch of ricers with fartpipes and intakes and cheap ass ugly aftermarket rims on their S2000s
Stop Raping this vehicle guys, seriously The fastest cleanest S is one thats factory and the maintenance is kept up on it. I mean yea you gotta lower it, I'm not that prude....But lower it the right way. If you didn't compare the Camber Caster and Toe before and after the Lowering procedure then you messed up. Honda's Specs on these three settings is what makes this vehicle handle so well on the tracks straight off the showroom...then you mess it up by slapping on some lowering springs, without resetting the camber caster and toe on the front and rear to the factory specs, or euro.
Now force inducting, hey thats what's up....but other than that all this money it seems like all of these people are wasting on mufflers and intakes and headers and stuff just throws off hondas engineering into this motor and it ends up being a slower car. Now I've never ran up on a S with a blower....But all the ones ive ran at the track(and Im not a dragstrip fanatic I just wanted a baseline) with fartpipes and intakes and all that stuff got walked on by my stock ass 07S.
It ended up clickin off a 14.10 @ 99mph (without lowering tire pressure) I think if I did it wouldve broke 14s...all the other S's that were out there ran 14.4's and up....wait there was one other one that ran a 14.3 but all he had was an intake...I think K&N if Im not mistaken...
But what is everyones thoughts on this matter.....I mean bashing my opinion is welcomed...I got thick skin
