Love this, great video! Can't wait to get mine out of the garage when it warms up on the east coast. Jealous you guys already have the weather for it... thanks for sharing
This is great footage, you guys can drive man, I'm very impressed. It's hard to convey the sense of speed in videos, but I have been on that track a few times myself, and you guys are going way, way, way faster than I would even think on the whole track. Gives me inspiration to improve :) Although, I'm not a fan of the music, I'd rather hear the motor run...but really cool shot showing all the cars in the beginning. Thanks for editing/posting the vid, now favorited! Maybe I should get an s2k :)
@zippyicy It's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 ($240) mounted on a Modifry Low-Profile Windscreen Camera Mount ($40). The camera is a waterproof, shockproof point-and-shoot camera with built in optical image stabilization that can shoot AVCHD 1080/60i videos, with a lens that can go 28mm wide. It's a great little all-purpose camera, and I'm very happy with it.
@TheMdpalmer Yep, that was my fast lap of the day. I'll probably feature a different driver in the next video recap. The RS3's are phenomenal tires, but if money were no object, I'd probably spring for the AD08's that you have. I hear the grip level is similar, but the AD08 has better feel, is better in the wet, rides smoother, and wears better.
@TheMdpalmer Thanks for the compliment. For the money, the Honda S2000 is the best track car out there.You can buy a used S2000 for less than $10,000 now, and for very minimal modifications (less than $2000), you can flat out embarrass much more expensive "track ready" cars like the GT3 RS and Z06. I'm sorry you don't like the music, but I'm definitely open to recommendations anyone might have for good track music, so please share!
@VitaRenovatio Sorry I wasn't clear about the music comment... not that I don't like the music, I would rather hear the car/motor/tires instead. Were you the one running the Hankook RS3s? How do you like them, they looked like they were working for you. I just got some Yoko Advan Neova ADO8s they are supposed to be similar to the RS3s.. I would have got those but didn't have my size. Like I said great vid, keep them coming!
@sushimaster100 Here is a very good budget setup: $650 - APR GTC-200 Wing $1000 - Enkei RPF1 17x9 +45 x4 $300 - SPC Camber Joints x4 $50 - 60 mm Test Pipe Tires, pads, oil changes, gas are all wear items, and so I didn't include them as "modifications:" $600 - 255/40R17 Hankook RS-3 x4 $360 - Carbotech F: XP12 / R: XP10 $20 - Motul RBF600 This setup can do at least a 2:01 at Buttonwillow, 1:34 at WSIR and 1:25 at SOWS.

Very cool! I can't wait for spring out here in Chicago. The S and I both need this!
Watch this video on a weekly basis till it gets warmer out. Can't wait!

2020 and this video is still awesome
Rapid S2k thank you! Those were some amazing times.

Hypothetically, with $2,000 budget...where would you spend it to get the most out of a stock S2000 for tracking? Tires, pads, straight pipe?
@sushimaster100 Here is a very good budget setup:
$650 - APR GTC-200 Wing
$1000 - Enkei RPF1 17x9 +45 x4
$300 - SPC Camber Joints x4
$50 - 60 mm Test Pipe
Tires, pads, oil changes, gas are all wear items, and so I didn't include them as "modifications:"
$600 - 255/40R17 Hankook RS-3 x4
$360 - Carbotech F: XP12 / R: XP10
$20 - Motul RBF600
This setup can do at least a 2:01 at Buttonwillow, 1:34 at WSIR and 1:25 at SOWS.

But seriously, this was an awesome event. Great car control too.
Awesome vid! What camera are you using for the in-car vids? Image stabilization?
9kalltheway!! Thumb up!
How much time is gained from the addition of a splitter and wing?
