Larry big love from Europe man ! Tanks for finding & presented this epic S2000-R project it looks way better than what i would imagine ! if you can get update on this when you manage to film how good it handles and maybe tell us how Honda officials react to this awesome build. Keep up the awesome job can't wait to see more such cool stuff !
If only Honda could bring back the S2000 and R it, however I can’t imagine the premium they would charge on a limited quantity release. This S2000R is out of this world!
@@undetermined_user not even dealer mark ups. Msrp would be way to high. to reproduce all new parts, re organize assembly lines for a car that hasn't been produced in over a decade and meet current safety standards.
Honestly I would love to see a new S2000 with the K24 engine from Honda motorsports themself. Nissan has the program to refresh Skyline GTRs to Clubman Race Spec with fresh newly hand built engines. I don't see why Honda and Toyota can't do it.
Directly from the project leader of the S2000, Shigeru Uehara, when asked why there wasn't a Type R version, he said the S2000 was essentially already a Type R because there was very little room left for improvement as it was already engineer at a very high level from the start. Unlike the other "base" Hondas.
@@deltapromasterlauj4848 actually, at the time (1995), no there wasn't. The idea behind the s2000 was a roadster that performed like a race car that "everyone" can afford. The s2000 was packed to the teeth when it eventually hit the market in 1999. It was already producing more HP per liter then any other production car which I think Porsche finally ended up beating like years down the line. Now as you said, there's always room for improvement. I think they felt the Americans did not like having to rev the car so high to reach those HP levels. With the introduction of the AP2 revision, they lowered the rev output in favor for a slight boost in mid range power. The car was as stated above, already on performance levels of a type R. I guess one could say the CR model would have been that type R but the only purpose behind it was to create something even more light weight to bridge the other side of the s2000 vision. A affordable out of the box track car
I agree, it was spect'd out and engineered way better than any other Honda from the starting point. But that being said. Wasn't much room for improvement ‽‽ I think this video right here proves that there was ALOT of room to improve upon from stock. I mean c'mon, did you watch the video
This is such a cool build. I love the white on white. Honda didn't officially produce a S2000 Type R however, they did give the F20 and F22 motors red valve covers. This is only reserved for the Type R cars. If you ask me, in essence... All S2000s are Type Rs.
I don’t doubt the price. currently building a spoon catalog s2000 and parts alone cost more than the car itself. these builds are incredible when done right 👍🏼
That is such an incredible build! I was always an OEM+ enthusiast when I got into cars back in the early 2000's, everyone else wanted big wheels, huge stereos, bright colours, etc it's awesome to see it going this way now.
I really hope that this sparks something in Honda with how well this is being received. I love my FL5 but an S2000 being a RWD legend just makes me want to get one.
You seriously should. I just got an ‘02 AP1 and it’s just… unexplainably amazing. I bet that you got that CTR for that practicalness, but the S2000 is a whole nother experience.
@@Resch72113 Damn, I'm 3 months late. But, watch the video again and pay attention to the parts with the K20 and turbo... it's faster than your S2000, for sure... that's what they did. They didn't just "dress it up".
Not even lying when I say I’ve envisioned this build in my mind ever since the k20c was revealed but the attention to detail with updating the front end is crazy on this. I want to see this level of detail done on an EG and Del Sol.
I remember watching a best motoring video where the chief engineer of the s2k who also worked on the nsx r and integra and civic type R's said that the s2k was built to type r spec, which is why they came with red valve covers, the s2k was basically a type r from stock because they put so much into designing and building it, and because it was being released for the year 2000 and a heritage car etc. They went all out on it
They probably didn't push the chassis to the limit like they did with the engine. It's not stich welded like the Type Rs, but then again the Type Rs were based on normal cars. They needed the extra work on the chassis to perform at that level. Either way, they missed an opportunity...there's even an NSX-R. Maybe they should've named the CR Type R instead. Would be interesting to know from Honda why there wasn't a S2000 R/Type-R
@@maybewibu5358 It's the modern version of what they perceive to be a S2000 Type R which would likely include a turbo given Honda's current lineup, and the state of the industry these days. Not what old guys like us remember, but the world isn't the same for us.
@@SonNguyen-mk2wq i agree about that, if there will be an s2k today they most definitely would use that engine OR WORSE ELECTRIC... But as for this build I'm kinda sad he take out the F20C
OMG dream car status 😍. I really hope Evasive starts a restomod program for the S2000 like Singer, Gunther Werks etc does with Porsche. In my opinion it would be a great move on Evasive’s part if they did. The waiting list would be bananas.
I think this is fantastic! As a former AP2 S2K owner I like just about everything about this. I will say that the high-revving N/A engine is what gives the S2000 a lot of its lovable character, so were I to build an "R" version I'd find a way to keep that layout while bumping power a bit. But that's just me, the execution here is awesome and they did a great job.
I love that Evasive recognizes the best way to enjoy a S2000 is with no roof over your head. These guys definitely get a big thumbs up for execution as this car does look like it could have been a factory offering for the most part. I've always imagined that Honda not offering a Type R version of the S2000 had something to do with the fact that in their base form, the S series cars were the only purpose-built sports cars Honda produced. Even the NSX required certain allowances for comfort/luxury as an upscale GT/supercar.
If I had a rhd Japanese spec Honda s2000 and lots of spare extra money I would have it shipped back to Japan and have chassi work and other one off parts install done by opera performance of Yasuyuki Yamamoto, have either asm yokohoma or full mugen kit
But Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
I love the idea of resto-modding the S2000. This looks fantastic. Personally though, I'd want the option to keep the F20C, the true heart of the S2000 👍👍.
This is just a RWD Civic Type R roadster. That 9000rpm redline made the S2000 unique. Now its as quiet as a regular everyday car. Could have swapped to a JDM K20 Integra Type R and tuned it for 300whp N/A With an 8500rpm redline. OR K24 supercharged which will sound way more lively than a Turbo and have more response.
It's to American mindset having a perfectly balanced car only for having power only also it's half done job if you want best of the best look no further than famous Honda chassi fabrication tuner opera performance in Fukuoka prefecture Japan
I absolutely love this build! 😍 Everything is done OEM correct for a car that was never made. The craftsmanship and imagination to materialize this into reality is fantastic. 🏆💪
I love this shop. Almost took my MR2 here when looking at engine swap options. When I've got some real money I'm definitely going to Evasive for my next build.
This has to be the cleanest and most OEM future S2000 in the world. I think it even surpasses what Honda could even do a Type R S2000. It's like an OEM + version of that car if Honda ever made one. Absolutely love it and great job to you guys for achieving such a great build. The only thing you might want to do is look into the ID4motion digital cluster. They make a fully digital dash for the S2K. and like you said, the true experience of this car is with the top down like a real roadster, having that huge rev band layout on the dash but with modern supporting information and customisability, that id4motion dash will tick all the boxes. not to mention its full size so looks even more OEM and not aftermarket at all. Love the car! looking forward to see more of it.
Absolutely GENIUS!!! Ok, how much??? I’m in. I bought my wife a 2018 Si, 2019 Type R, 2021 Type R, now she is driving an Acura Integra Type S. I want this car so bad!!
Love it. You must have thought about a supercharger.. lower efficiency.. but still, modern turbo chargers are ok. Super cool car, an OG S2000 would already be a dream
restomod '90s cars are coming and I'm here for it. i love customization but i also love authenticity and correctness. this could quite possibly be the most perfect car ever built.
That's a clean S2000...I did a roll race with a tuned one, and I thought for sure I would obliterate off the roll, but we were neck and neck until I reached a higher speed. They are fast and light weight.
So sad that Honda didnt make one of these in the early S2000 days its such a cool car its crappy that they did the cheapest car Honda made in a Type R but not one of the most expensive ! Its sweet that the front bumper is blacked out in the middle it looks so much better like that instead of paint matched !
I cant believe what I am saying but I wish it had more plastic parts haha. Just reflecting on the Mines GTR, everything looked very factory. This had way too much carbon fiber parts. Now I understand that Mines GTRs had some carbon parts, But I honestly think it would look way better with plastic parts (the custom manifold I could understand). I think if EVS would to roll out a S2000R, it should also fit in the Type R budget as well as many of the Type R before it were made to be affordable Eco-Sports car. Beautiful car non the less!
Proud original owner of a 2006 Berlina Black with 200k+ incredibly joyful miles . I would LOVE this transformation to be made to my baby with one exception. NA F22C with 280WHP
Somehow... Evasive has basically made two of my favorite all time builds.... Dai's Ae86, and this S2000R. It probably seems like I'm just saying some sh**. But seriously I don't ever say I have a "dream car" because there is so many beautiful and thoughtful cars/builds, but Evasive Motorsports style just hits for me.
As ab old type bar owner in the UK. So glad to see you're keeping these beauties going and giving it even more power, such a shame they stop making the S2000. Just thinking that the Mazda MX-5 /Miata probably over took the roadster sales. Hopefully Honda will bring it back one day. He'll probably be electrified in some way
This really gives me the same vibe as full/complete tune cars. As opposed to demo cars, which would be used to test prototype parts and for display. When tuning shops would just strip a car down and build it up using their own prowess. Stuff like the NISMO 400R and the HKS Zero R and the legendary RUF CTR Yellowbird. Of course, some shops still continue with that kind of stuff today (like the aforementioned RUF). I'm not saying shops don't still do it, I'm just saying it's uncommon.
Such a great concept. Most of us can’t dream of something like a Singer or Guntherworks so a restoration of a cheaper and more modern car is more attainable and still exciting!
This is nowhere near either of those two shops. At all, they threw some basic parts from the catalog on and it’s not a ground up restoration cause it’s only a 15 year old car 🤣🤣🤣
Those spoon mirrors… 🤤. I really hope evasive sells the wing stands. Looks like it uses the same mounting points as the CR wing, which is perfect for me.
As a long life s2000 owner and enthusiast this is something we imagined making ourselves one day(conceptually) - the problem that the r&d and price and time involved suddenly went up so high you basically need to snap yourself out of that haha. So glad you guys did it - I mean I imagine it will be close or even over 180k $ so it’s ain’t gonna be cheap - but I’m deffo considering a preorder haha just kiddin ;D gj boys - and nice video - thanks
Science of speed offers the plug and play fk8 swap for s2000 now, would be interesting to get a Honda crate engine with all factory Hondata flashpro engine management and reliability. For now, great coverage Larry, I’ve been to evasive a few times and they always are very helpful! The first parts I ever bought for my s2k was from evasive actually. I’m waiting for the c8 z06 swap s2000 someday! Would love to hear that flat plane melody out of my s2000!
Thing is so sick can’t wait for a sport mode. I would do jdm black house head lights ,dash screen differently and finish the alcantera material on the plastics behind the seats/center console.more 20th anniversary bits would be cool thr radio lid and rear wind deflection Ria Strake
It really makes me wonder why Honda didn’t do the R from the beginning with this legend, all the other cars that were worth it got the R treatment, the CR just doesn’t do it, I’d take bone stock s2000 over the CR any day!
so feakin nice! i have always wanted a S2000.... still one of those cars i wanna get one day in my life.... but to get this done to it... would be freaking amazing....

When tuning shops would just strip a car down and build it up using their own prowess. Stuff like the NISMO 400R and the HKS Zero R and the legendary RUF CTR Yellowbird.
Of course, some shops still continue with that kind of stuff today (like the aforementioned RUF). I'm not saying shops don't still do it, I'm just saying it's uncommon.
Such a excellent expose Larry. Capturing Evasive think outside the box take on S2000 R. There will be a demand. Hey Top Rank knows this👌
I gotta quit watch S2000 videos. I made the worst error of my adult life selling mine 8 years ago. Definitely the best automobile I’ve ever owned.
Go buy another one then!
@@philspaghet have you seen prices? In Canada at least they fetch $45-60k for a clean one
@@rubbertoe. I see them in Michigan for $15k for daily driver examples
@@philspaghet umm, wish I could, but they’ve tripled in price since I sold mine! Also, have a project in the garage, so it’ll have to wait.
How dare you
I'm blown away that people could do stuff like this! Amazing! I wouldn't even know where to start!
The body is perfect 👌
I love this car stock.. this is next level
Stunning car!
Dope. Thank u for capturing this and sharing it with the world, Larry. We appreciate u
Such a great concept. Most of us can’t dream of something like a Singer or Guntherworks so a restoration of a cheaper and more modern car is more attainable and still exciting!
Ever heard of opera performance?
This is nowhere near either of those two shops. At all, they threw some basic parts from the catalog on and it’s not a ground up restoration cause it’s only a 15 year old car 🤣🤣🤣
Those spoon mirrors… 🤤. I really hope evasive sells the wing stands. Looks like it uses the same mounting points as the CR wing, which is perfect for me.
Beautiful. Only thing I’d change is keep the factory steering wheel with a nice alcantara wrap
As a long life s2000 owner and enthusiast this is something we imagined making ourselves one day(conceptually) - the problem that the r&d and price and time involved suddenly went up so high you basically need to snap yourself out of that haha. So glad you guys did it - I mean I imagine it will be close or even over 180k $ so it’s ain’t gonna be cheap - but I’m deffo considering a preorder haha just kiddin ;D gj boys - and nice video - thanks
What a machine! Brilliant work.
Science of speed offers the plug and play fk8 swap for s2000 now, would be interesting to get a Honda crate engine with all factory Hondata flashpro engine management and reliability. For now, great coverage Larry, I’ve been to evasive a few times and they always are very helpful! The first parts I ever bought for my s2k was from evasive actually. I’m waiting for the c8 z06 swap s2000 someday! Would love to hear that flat plane melody out of my s2000!
I was wondering why evasive s2000r got so much media coverage SOS had one in their open house here in AZ early this year. Or is this that same one?
@@elas2k159 I know it's using the SOS kit but I'm not sure if it's the same car or not.
Thing is so sick can’t wait for a sport mode. I would do jdm black house head lights ,dash screen differently and finish the alcantera material on the plastics behind the seats/center console.more 20th anniversary bits would be cool thr radio lid and rear wind deflection Ria Strake
One of the best s2k i have seen
Just drove my stock ap1 s2k last night and it still feels brand new. Got 115k miles on her
Amazing guy from Evasive, such a calmness and knowledge in his words. The little details 🥹… If you know you know. Like the Nsx steering wheel cap.
*_This is so sick. Inspires me to make my 97 EK Hatch into a Type R._*
S2000R is now on my dream list of cars 😅😍
such a good take on the R series for the S2000, this looks way better than the CR model!
It really makes me wonder why Honda didn’t do the R from the beginning with this legend, all the other cars that were worth it got the R treatment, the CR just doesn’t do it, I’d take bone stock s2000 over the CR any day!
No it doesn’t, at all, and it’s less of an S2000. Your opinion is garbage
so feakin nice! i have always wanted a S2000.... still one of those cars i wanna get one day in my life.... but to get this done to it... would be freaking amazing....
I wonder what a modern 2023 Honda S2000 would be like with the FL5 Type R’s K20 Turbo engine.
Honda sells the k20c1 as a crate motor. I’m surprised someone hasn’t developed a transmission for rear wheel drive swaps.
I'm In Love with this S2k R
oem plus is the way👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I’ve read so much on this great to see it in the flesh!!!
This is the only shop I trust for my GTR. Glad to have them locally.
Work of art. Beautiful
Mate, that is a thing of beauty, great job.
