Holy sh!tballz! Watching this like I was watching the electric S2000 build.

Good luck and keep us posted on the build!

I cleared out the S2k and selling the remaining parts.

I sold the s52, and this sunday I will be picking up a F22c from a 05 S2000.

I plan on using the stock harness and use the electronic power steering. I really hope I can get it running with the stock harness, this way I can use the Stock ecu. If not this will force me to a more expensive route which is chase bay's custom harness w/ Haltech or Aem ecu.

I plan on making a purchase on some Ohlins DFV in two weeks.

Today I will work on trimming the 2002 more and start welding some braces to prevent flex.

Updates...

First update, A local performance shop needed help with sales. So I started working on Saturdays. I use to work at the shop years ago until I finally decided to move on. Now that I'm back at the shop, it brings back lots of memories... I missed the place. I snapped a couple pics of the shop. Enjoy

Second update...

After sitting and staring... and drinking some tea....

I have decided to go tube chassis and still use some parts from the s2000

S2000 is a roadster and will not allow me great seating. If I plopped the body on top the s2000 chassis I would be sitting 4 inches behind the B pillar



So I decided to visit my favorite place







And Cut

the problem is finding flares that are 5 + inches wide.... no one makes any.



these might work just maybe




Best purchase ever... I also picked the Affordable Bender (worst purchase ever, so bad that i didn't take a pic of it, it works but a pain in the ass) Save and buy a JD2 bender 3 IMO...






Roll bar.... but not welded in yet.




a little more.. enough room for a turbo manifold

I plan on lowering the engine about 3 inches, right its in there with stock mounts.

I got the frame finished and painted. I brushed on KBS coatings rust seal and black top. Then I laid truck liner......
Installed new ACT 6 puck sprung clutch and got my flywheel resurfaced..... to much to list honestly. onto the pics...























On Feb 20th I went to my favorite shop PTuning in Manassas,VA for a corner balance and 4 wheel alignment

the final result for my corner balance with a 200 lbs ballast for driver

LF 703 lbs RF 636 lbs
LR 727 lbs RR 664 lbs

Cross 49.93%

Car weight w/o driver 2530
Car weight w/ driver 2730

the car has 49/51 weight distribution which caught my off guard. I really wasn't expecting that.

The car also surprised me with the weight.... I was really hoping to be at the 2000-2300 mark.

But I think I can figure out how to shed more weight my ideas are

-rear lexan windshield
-rear quarter windows lexan
-driver and passenger windows lexan
-Fiber glass hood and trunk
-light weight battery
-aluminum front fenders?
- lighter wheels? lol idk

These are my alignment specs

Front Right Left
Caster 5.8 5.8
Camber -2.7 -2.7
Toe 0 0

Rear
Camber -2.4 -2.4
Toe 1/16" 1/16"


onto the pics....










this is the old rear spring that is 325 lbs


front spring 400lbs to the rear




The rear is a little soft and rubbing just a tad.



here are some random pics

rear exhaust utilizing e60 bmw oem muffler, and vibrant resonator at the end, I really didn't want to make this car super loud.




I also installed SPC adjustable camber ball joints on all 4 corners

rear



front
