Title: My Build Thread.. (56k, no way)
Post by: alpha on April 19, 2010, 03:07:45 AM
Hey all,
I know its not a 7th Gen Accord, but I thought some people might be interested..
I'm creating this as a build thread of my S2000 CR. It took me a while to decide whether or not I wanted to mod the car. After some thought, I realized that I originally started looking for an S2000 as a car I wanted to mod. Enough chit chat, on with some pics and a mod list..
I apologize for some blurry pics. I took most of these with my cell phone. When the car is done with its current state, I'm going to be getting a photoshoot done. I'll update with those pics when I get them.
Mod list:
Suspension/Wheels/Tires
Engine Performance
Exterior/Aero Performance
Stopping Power
Miscellaneous
Here's a pic of it all nice and stock..
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/mysticskill/S2000/july_detail/DSCN0863.jpg)
First thing I did was add some new brakes for an upcoming track day. I decided to go with StopTech SS Brake Hoses, EBC Sport Rotors, EBC Yellowstuff Pads, and ATE SuperBlue DOT4 brake fluid. These brakes performed really well at the track and I don't regret the upgrade.

Here's a pic of the SS hoses, followed by a pic of the rotors and pads.

Here's a pic of it that a student at UCSD took during a photoshoot day. You can see the brakes through this pic.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4307994529_5365b053b5_o.jpg)
Here's a pic of it at the track. I was really impressed with the brake setup. Consistent brake pressure and I didn't notice any brake fade.

Anyway, so I decided to mod the car shortly after that track day. Here's the progression of mods.
I decided that I wanted to go non-staggered. I wanted to run 255 width tires all around. So I had to get new wheels. I went to the shop, and asked what they had. They told me they had a set of Volk CE28N Genesis in stock at Mackin, and they could be here in 3 days. I said, "Sold."
Bringing them home..

Unboxing and test fitting my center caps, which also happen to be limited edition.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2756/4333440431_a23e9bc3ed_b.jpg)
Hiboscal plates applied and testing how they would look with my lug nuts also..
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2677/4415536793_b5cb869d41_b.jpg)
I decided to wait to get tires until my coilovers came in.
Next on the list was coilovers. I loved the stock CR suspension, but I always hated the ride height. I needed it lower, so I was doing some research. I wanted to find something nice, comfortable, adjustable, and quality. I decided on KW Variant 3. I also bought brand new OEM top hats because I did not want to take apart my OEM suspension. It would also make the installation much easier.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4418260923_c5d3d7677a_b.jpg)
I finally get my coilovers after a few weeks since they had to build them in Germany and then ship them here. I proceed to order some tires, Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 in 255/40/17. I love these tires and highly recommend them if you are looking for an Extreme Performance Summer tire.

Picture of them mounted on the wheel.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2696/4421921036_ae2361bce0_b.jpg)
As time passed while waiting for my friend to help me roll my fenders, I decided I wanted stiffer spring rates. I decided to purchase some 12k Hypercoils.
Here they are installed on the coilovers.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/4461639244_a8864a215c_b.jpg)
Time came to install the coilovers. At the same time, I installed a J's Racing Front Camber Kit with Roll Center Adjusters and T1R Half Shaft Spacers.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2699/4533417361_863f721806_o.jpg)
Here's a pic of the car on the alignment rack.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/4468961874_3b1e71a020_b.jpg)
After that, I proceded to install my Downforce side diffusers.
You can see them in this pic that was taken during a car show..
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4008/4493280584_6903d8c970_o.jpg)
I then finally received my exhaust and installed it. I decided on a CT-Engineering (Comptech) dual exhaust. I love the way it sounds, it's not obnoxiously loud yet provides a nice deeper tone. As with all Comptech products, the quality is top notch.
Where the midpipe meets the two muffler pipes. If you look closely, you could see the T1R half shaft spacers.

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/4534064768_e35844f274_b.jpg)
Since my exhaust came in, I can finally install my APR Carbign Craft exhaust guards and Downforce Rear Diffuser. I don't have a pic of the side pieces, but there is a pic of the center section.
I'm currently still installing these pieces on the car, so I'll have updated pics as soon as I get it on.
Center section..

Exhaust guards..

That's all for now. I should hopefully be finishing up the diffuser installation tomorrow, so I'll get some pics of that as soon as I can.
Oh, here's a video someone shot during a car show. You could see my car in it before the exhaust and rear diffuser had been installed.

Thanks guys!
Arie, I have some plans but what I want requires quite a bit of change, so I'll have to see if I can save up for it.

A typical problem, moreso with AP1, is the car starts having vibration issues because of how the axle sits in the bucket when you lower the car. It's hit and miss with AP2 since they redesigned the axles. I have heard of AP2s developing the problem, but I've also heard of AP2s not having an issue. The driveshaft spacers change how the axle sits in the bucket.I didn't need them, and I may not have developed the issue. But they are recommended so I just did it as preventative maintenance.

I've heard of that kit already. It's a pretty pricey kit, but it gains quite a bit in mid-range, which is where the s2k lacks. I'm working on getting more details about it, such as what the install is like, etc. I do know it requires an AEM EMS, purchased separately.
The C-West S2000 with this kit gains about 160hp in mid-range, but it's also boosted. The NA gains are about 40hp. I forget the torque numbers off the top of my head.
My Accord didn't have I-VTEC, so outside of driving my buddie's RSX, I'm not that familiar with what it feels like.
Ahh, I just clicked the link. They have more details now. :)

fwap fwap fwap so nice Mark!
The CRs are SO much better in White, the Blue is ok, but the Yellow interior kills it, IMO. The only other thing that bothers me is the front lip... the corners just look kinda weird, but what ya gonna do. Still a B E A utiful car.

it's doable.. you just have to be very cautious and realize that there are certain things that you cannot avoid scraping..Hahaha. He doesn't actually drive the S2K any more. He just hard parks it in his garage. :D
Tim's right.. it does sit in the garage most of the time right now, but it is also under construction..Title: Re: My Build Thread.. (56k, no way)
