other than the square setup, do you think the aero on the CR also played a role in the faster lap time? Many people say square is faster. I'm sure there are other factors, like driver skill but I'm still on the fence about square v staggered. Good driving!
Ok strap in for a long reply. In terms of square vs. staggered, if you have to ask, then square is going to be faster. Generally square is always going to be ideal in a well-balanced car, the extra front grip with a square setup is quite noticeable. The CR aero on Jason's car definitely helps, I'd guess worth a half second or so on this track, and he's done a number of other mods whereas my car was basically stock with coilovers and wheels. We have driven each other's cars and both agree that his car is faster and more fun, but not due to staggered vs. non-staggered. Since this video he has gone to a square 255 setup and got faster still - I can't keep up any more!
Square is always better/faster. The only thing you give up is initial sharpness in steering response, but you gain so much more in cornering and braking; going square really brings the s2k to life.
I’m still on the fence with square staggered, but my hesitance is driven by my ability as a driver. I feel that going square too soon - I end up raising the limit of the car without first meeting the car’s limit (staggered) with driving ability.
@@DavidHaroJr from my understanding after searching the forums, reddit and youtube, is that square induces more oversteer, however, it's more controllable oversteer. The car becomes more predictable and it's easier to catch the oversteer, whereas a staggered setup may have less controllable oversteer or snap oversteer. The downside to square is that it's not the easiest to fit. and it requires quite a bit of front fender work. Rolling, possibly pulling the fenders and camber is needed. I think that my goal is to get 17x9 +49 tc105x with 245/40 tires. From my research, that setup should only require a roll and around -1.5 to -2 camber. Most of the track guys run 255 but for me this is mainly a street use car + a track day here and there, and a 245 should require less fender work.
Probably the most underrated S2000 content and track rivalry on RUclips. I Love it.
Your editing is so over the top for track day videos.
And I am SO here for it.
:)
Became a fan a few weeks ago. Don’t have the balls to track my ap1 but thankful I can live vicariously through you.
Sick video!
Something to learn from, not only driving, but video editing too.
Great video. Color grade is on point.
S2000s are such rewarding cars to push. Love the content especially the foot cam
Turn 7 was amazing
Amazing loved every minute of it!
Great driving, editing is crazy on this one ahahah love it.
👏👏👏 good stuff man!
It's cool👍
NEMESIS!
How to foot cam install please,thanks.

Also, I think I spy a Chubby Miata @ 4:30
I tried to keep up, after 5 corners I could still see them.
What is the offset of the AP2V4s assuming they 17x9 correct?
Yessir, standard AP2V4 fitment - 17x9 +45
Ohlins ttx 👏
Do u know what offset are the rims on Nate's square 255 17x9 setup? Wondering what offset to run on track to make sure no rubbing fenders
Baffled sump ?
Not really needed with this amount of grip. Baffle will happen as soon as downforce happens :)
