Many thanks again to Micha for the great lap and the fantastic driving skills. And sorry for the people that I didn't speak that much, but it's because my English isn't that good, forgive me hehe. Also sorry for the chewing gum in the video, it was a busy day for me and I was a little nervous, maybe Micha can edit the video and make my face unrecognizable 🤣
@@PrepaidKarma i mean the S2000 was a nice car, nice seats and steering and i like the Spoon wheels etc. but would be cool to see a track tuned one with serious tires and a bit aero (like hardtop and flat underbody)
exactly, a proper figured out track prepped S2000 would be a great vid and a proper representation of what this platform is capable of when fine tuned for the track. We know from the Best Motoring videos that it's one of the most capable FR platforms out of Japan, particularly it's handling and grip.
I have an M3 CS ‘24 and an Honda S2000 AP1 ‘00.. stock and very low milage. This is my second s2k and I’m still in love with this car. Well, the M3 is a great car, but nothing makes me so happy like the S2k. You cannot find a car with 170000 kM that revs consistently to 9000 rpm
High revving engines were made for a reason - to extract more power. You don't need that simply anymore as turbos are so advanced today and it wasn't ever easy and cost effective to design high rpm engine..
@@skrypkaduh. But the problem is that makes lazy, low rpm engines that all sound the same. The experience of a high rpm NA engine is so much better in a driver’s car.
The s2000 actually had faster cornering speeds than the NSX type S when they were both new being tested on the ring. I really think they are such a perfect car in all forms for the ultimate driving experience, especially on track. And that’s why I’m glad I own one myself and will be bringing mine to the ring next year 👌
Not this one. I am very surprised those Bmw passed him in the technical section. Those tires are not the right thing or he didn't trusted the car enough
Gan San (S2K test driver of the prototype) said it’s faster on the tighter corners but the NSX type R is on par. The type S is a bit slower in tight corners!
You shouldn't need 255 square at this weight and power level. Just adding mass and drag at that point. I'd rather 225 and a bit of movement on the limit, where the fun lies.
Square american brain.... Thinner front wheel help you to put the car where you want while wider rears give you more traction to exit the corners faster
After owning an s2000 I honestly feel the chassis is great, the only mods other than suspension would be to add a supercharger. Just a bit more torque and a bit more power (nothing crazy, just 300 -350) and it would be the perfect track car.
Like "Engineering Explained" with his yellow Honda S2000? If you’re not familiar m check him out. He put a Supercharger some years ago on it. Selling it on "Cars and Bids" (in double t-shirt guy’s voice) as we speak.
Honda S2k. Loooved em. Very nice car. We have the Fa20 here in Aus and that vtec technology is just awesome. Took me 6 years to find the petrol popper though.
same tires (ps4 not ps4s!) like the previous stock one but seems more stable this time maybe from better suspension setup! you really need to find one with 17/18'' trackday wheel tire combo, coilovers, shorter final drive and some basic tuning (intake,exhaust,ecu,track allignment) you will love it.
Not a word was spoken.... but that gave me the chance to listen to that engine sing. Only... that stuff dangling on the mirror would have driven me crazy!
0:22 *Pilot Sport 4 - not the 4S Would be interesting to know whether he is using the USDM ECU or the EUDM one. I've heard there are people running the EU AP1 ECU on the F22 to push the 2.2L towards 9k redline.
@niikon I use the F22C ECU. In the beginning I used the F20C ECU for a short time, it revs up to 9000rpm without any problems, but in the long run you risk engine damage. But many people in the USA constantly drive around with the combination 🤷
225 on rear, jeez. I had a stock ‘00 S2000 years ago but had the AP2 wheels, 255 rear 225 front staggered. Always wanted to go squared but she handled like a freaking dream.
Very nice lap! This one defintely is driving better, although still needs to rev to make power. I think the actual torque difference between the two is only an extra 5 lb-ft.
F20C does actually have decent torque for a naturally aspirated 2.0, more than 100 Nm/l . S2000s are heavy for what they are, though. They go up to 1380 kg stock, which is 355 kg heavier than a 2.0 ND! If those are real Spoon wheels, those are under 6 kg each, that would help with acceleration too! I'd rather go for a tire with a stiffer side wall. In 205/55R16 you could go for an Advan A052.
I love the look of the Spoon 16s, and I always wondered if the move to 17 actually made the car handle better, or if big donk rims were just fashionable. My NC Miata comes with 17s, and with the stock tire, they frankly look too big with not enough sidewall. There are 16s available for my car, going to AP1 sizes, but it's been hard to find reliable information on what this change actually does. I think this video finally decided for me that 17s with 225/45s square is the way to go.
I drove 17s for 7 years and I couldn't see much difference, of course I didn't drive on Track only in normal traffic, that would be the cause for not feel the difference.
There is an old Japanese comparison video of stock 16 vs stock 17 on S2000 and the 17's were faster across the board. A lightweight forged 17 is the right wheel for the S2000
Yeah I won't go as far to say it's a given fact that the 17s are faster but most of the shops I've spoken to who campaign s2000s run a 17 square setup. Which is why I made the switch to 17x9 with 255s all the way around. My personal impression is that the car feels more agile. The loss of grip may be a bit more sudden when driving on the edge as opposed to a softer taller sidewall on a 16 but the rigidity from the 17 setup feels more precise. It feels as though there is less slop. This is just my personal opinion though. And making the switch has dropped my times by a good second or two in certain sectors. Either way the car is just a blast to drive. It makes you want to push the car to extract more performance. Which honestly I think the driver feels is lacking a little bit with modern performance cars. Akin to you having to be hyper focused while driving whereas modern cars it feels like you are kind of along for the ride. Hopefully that makes sense. 👍
When my dad was in college , he got himself an MG-B vert and loved it ( orange , chrome package , black interior ) . when he graduated and moved back home, the wheels got stolen 3x and the 3rd time, the insurance company made him sell the car because they didn't want to deal with it anymore. i guess the old spoke wheels at the time were almost the cost of 1/2 the price of the car once they were brought over from europe and had tires mounted . when the 2000 S2k was coming out he said it was the closest thing to having the MG back . didn't like the benz or porsche offerings . he got on the list to buy one in 98 ant took delivery i think september 99 . and was the 14th person to get one in the US . he sold it in 2006/7 . one of few cars we had in the family that we regret selling.
Since the original F20C engine had engine damage, an F22C year 2004 came in. You really notice the difference, especially in the lower range, unfortunately it doesn't rev up to 9000rpm but you don't notice that soo much. For me personally the F22C runs better, but I also have a few mods like exhaust and intake.
@@Ivo-S2000 Great story. I did a double take when I saw the title of this video. I wonder how that 2004 AP2 car wound up over there. Are you running the AP2 transmission as well?
@@VirtualGuth i running a Ap1 Transmission with a Ap1 Differential. I Heard thats the best Combination, and an Ap2 transmission should be very good for the F20C.
I'm very surprised someone went to the trouble of swapping in a larger engine, but didn't use 17" wheels. There are some excellent videos done in Japan comparing stock 16" to stock 17" wheels and the 17 were faster and felt better.
Seems to have more torque on uphill section, and Misha's facial expression on the carousel were funny. 😂😂 Definitely could have 17-inch wheels & opt for even better tires!
@@mrbawkbegawks the michelins have softer sidewalls (they are still good tires) a Yokohama AD08R (now AD09) for example was a great tire forthe S and you could daily it, just didn't have the same level of wet grip as the Michelin. I had the Michelin Pilot Super Sport on the S, the michelin is a good choice but if you are more focused on track then a stiffer sidewall is recommended.

I'm a VW guy (Mk4 R32 turbo and MK6 Golf R) but my father has an AP2 (F22) S2000. Neat to know your thoughts of it with some tire and suspension mods. Wonder why it was soft with KW's? Maybe just not set up right in terms of rebound and compression settings on the coils. Thanks for sharing the lap!
Most of these cars crashed, because the tires are verry important on this car. i had 2 of them and know what i say. Its not so easy to drive with 50:50 weight. AD08R id used :D
Original tires from the factory were the best. I tried about 10; types of other tires and could not beat those lap times . Most regular tires were very dangerous .
Mine too, but i’m also happy with my 245 square setup, just made the rollbars in front a bit harder and it feels very well balanced with slight oversteer tendencies but yea you have to be quick when the rear steps out
Nice lap, shame about the tire/wheel setup. Are you still working on getting an EK/EG Misha? Will you be sharing the build on the channel (if you choose to go that route)?
from personal experience I think that a sidewall height (rim to contact surface) of 11cm is good for comfort and 9cm is good for performance. am I right or completely wrong?

Most of these cars crashed, because the tires are verry important on this car. i had 2 of them and know what i say. Its not so easy to drive with 50:50 weight. AD08R id used :D
Original tires from the factory were the best. I tried about 10; types of other tires and could not beat those lap times . Most regular tires were very dangerous .
@@endless_touge you ever try 255/40R17 and 225 in the Front? That was my best experence
Mine too, but i’m also happy with my 245 square setup, just made the rollbars in front a bit harder and it feels very well balanced with slight oversteer tendencies but yea you have to be quick when the rear steps out
@@53Sickpig no. I have 3 sets of original 16 wheels. 17 very hard to find in Europe. Starting from 1500 eur . I would only use OEM wheels .
@@endless_touge got a 2008 Model. So im Lucky to get these 😅
I miss my s2000 😢
You should make videos on lessons on how to correct oversteering, loss of traction etc!
Nice lap, shame about the tire/wheel setup.
Are you still working on getting an EK/EG Misha?
Will you be sharing the build on the channel (if you choose to go that route)?
Supercharger makes all the difference, that machine was made for more power.
Supercharger is perfect for a S2000 👌🏼
Misha push it S2000 to the limit 🔥
misha is one of the few people out there who could actually do with a a baseball cap, just to keep the sun out of his eyes
The cross 🙏💪 VTEC BABY!
oh so in for this one!
someone bring this man a proper track setup s2k
He drove by friend dans k24 S2000 last year on ar1s have a look
Nice and clean lap, but did it scratch on both carussels?
think i re-watched Bergwerk about 5 times. Just nailed it
With the F20c engine, you just have to be in a lower gear and always in vtec. Both F20c and F22 are equally as fast with equal setup.
Sound and video a lil bit un-syncronized? Good lap, nice car 👍
from personal experience I think that a sidewall height (rim to contact surface) of 11cm is good for comfort and 9cm is good for performance.
am I right or completely wrong?
Is the clutch kick to keep rpm's high so you can shift into gear quicker 🤔
Honda just announced a 5.0L vtec v8 for a marine engine.. how long before that makes it's way to this?
