Maxrev Street S2000 Sub 2min. Buttonwillow CW13




I think I am still in Production Class...

Congrats!

that's cool rob

Very nice Rob. Congratulations. I knew you were going to be methodically very fast from when I first met you (you even knew what session and lap you were targeting for fast lap ).

But I see where you can pick up another half second. Just kidding . I wish I could do that.

Awesome! Congrats Rob!

nice... but couldnt you get bigger tires on a 17x9?

Awsome! Good job

Congrats man, its been a pleasure trying to follow in your footsteps and also watching you improve as a driver . 1:59....... I think you still have potential for 1:58 though .

Awesome! Congrats Rob, Welcome to the club!

Congratulations Rob. I've got much to learn from you.

Congrats Rob You met your goal! What's next?

Good job. When are you going to go do some actual racing?

Congrats, Rob.

So what ever came about with your sub 2min/LEV goal?

Fookin' eh, man! Awesome.

When you gonna do the same at Thunderhill?

Awesome, car looks great!

Great job maxrev! Your car and your driving are inspiring. I really enjoyed the reading on your web site - the explanation of roll center is excellent.

Congrats Rob! Can't imagine what you would hit if you lightened your car. Nice in-car videos as always. Now its Tim's turn to break 2mins.

Ha...right. Still have alot to learn from the master maxrev.

Your driving was very smooth overrall! This always contributes to a fast lap. It looked as though the car became a little unsettled going over the berms(sp?), or was that a loose camera mount?

Thanks everyone! I am no means a master of driving. It shows how well the S2000 is engineered for the street and track.

My car is still street driven 50% of the week and LEV compliant. Its also very quiet as my Fujitsubo is nearly silent as a stock exhaust.

very nice run, damn mustang drivers ruin everything

Update: 2 years and 4 months later... finally broke the 2 min. barrier with street tires on CW 13 at Buttonwillow.



The goal was to create a street focused S2000 that can chase almost any car on the track while using street tires. This meant that the car had a daily driver in a city like SF and retain all interior / carpet / AC / Stereo while using only a rear wing (no front splitter or rear diffusor) as an aero aid to keep the OEM look.

Some of the Specs: (OEM otherwise)

Power Mods: 60mm Kent Street Exhaust (no drone on the road.. ultra quiet!), OEM Clutch
Suspension: HKS Hyper Max III Sport (single adj.: Very Easy to setup!!)
Brakes: Project Mu Racing 999 w/ Spoon cailpers on Generic OEM Rotors. Project Mu Brake fluid. (excellent pad and fluid)
Wheels: 17x9 Volk RE30 w/ 255/40/17 Nitto NT05 street tires (200 Tread Wear Rating)
Aero: CR front lip & Voltex Rear Wing with Kels S2000 Spec. Risers
Interior: Recaro SPG (yes.. every car I owned.. had Recaro) and Cusco 4 Point (came with the car..)

oh.. and Alignment: Done at Evasive Motorsports

Audio: Pioneer Premier deck with 2 Ch. Amplifier and Alpine Component Speakers....


G2X Data-Logger.. 4 years in the running. The data shows that my driving was bit messy as I woke up at 3:30 (2 hr sleep) to drive to the track and instructed two students all day...)


Nitto NT05

My definition of a street S2000... while keeping reliability and stealthy looks. (stock trunk for the street)



I am sure I am the first owner/driver of a street S2000 that broke the 2 Min. at BW for both Street / R Compound tires.

Gawd damn

I don't even wanna drive at buttonwillow with my car anymore haha.
