S2000 JDM VGS Track Build
I have owned an s2000 now for just over a year. I got myself a daily and have been modifrying it with the intention of making it a Track day toy now for the best part of 6 months. It has been a slow build, trying not to get in any debt/loans while trying to save for a house. :argh:
My previous cars/builds have been Civic Type R - EP3, EK9 B18C, Mitsubishi Evo V GSR and now my s2000. You can follow me on IG @ jake_s2k i usually post some of my progress on there also. So, here we go. 2003 Honda s2000 JDM Import Type V (VGS) *Previously Owned by Spoon Sports APPARENTLY* 53k F/S/H Mods that came on the car: Spoon ECU Spoon Manifold De-Cat Spoon Panel Filter Spoon Front Strut Brace Cusco Lower Rear Strut Brace Modified OEM Exhaust Smoothed Bumpers Honda Access Dampers OK, so on with the build. After using it as my daily for work covering 140 miles A DAY i noticed things starting to wear and the car handling progressively getting worse. The underside hadn't been sealed. The bushes were worn. Suspension was knocking. Rear Diff mounts cracked, and so on! I stripped the underside bare, bought new control arms, subframes and a whole load of WaxOyl... the fun began. Strongflex 75a Track + Powerflex Compliance Bushes, all new Geo bolts, Upper Ball Joints, Track Rod ends & ARB Links. SPOON SPORTS SOLID STEERING RACK BUSHES & RIGID COLLAR KIT. GAVE THE STEERING RACK A LICK OF PAINT AS WELL. HARDRACE BUMPSTEER & DRIVESHAFT SPACERS HAD TO USE THE PILLAR DRILL ON THE BUMPSTEER SPACER HOLES SO THE SPOON SOLID BUSHES WOULD FIT INSIDE. AS YOU CAN SEE THEY DIDN'T FIT. IM GUESSING THE VGS IS DIFFERENT TO THE NORMAL RACK. ALL GOING BACK TOGETHER WITH SOME REAR DME ADJUSTABLE TOE ARMS & MEISTER ZETA R COILOVERS |
Track cars need aero right? Made myself a little front splitter and airdam jobbie (yet to test it out) and cut my rear bumper for hopefully a diffuser in the near future.

Decided as i was bleeding the brakes to do the clutch fluid as well. I should of checked this ages ago, it was filthy and so much sludge in the reservoir. :feint:
Decided to get a HEL Braided clutch line while i was at it. https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7668/2...bd3fc8189c.jpg7986235 by Jake Baker, on Flickr https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7676/2...9fea5ae179.jpg79285374598 by Jake Baker, on Flickr https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7408/2...f2763a0825.jpgnew7893 by Jake Baker, on Flickr |

Keep up the good work.... :thumbup:

Looks good so far! Never seen a flocked dash on an S2000 before.

Nice built !!
A little info ... The spoon solid steering rack bushing have a "niple" that is supposed to fit in the bolt hole in the frame. Just like the solid subframe bushings. I had the same problem with my steering rack spacers. My guess is the spoon steering rack spacer must have that little groove to fit with their solid steering rack bushings. Keep up the good work. It's always nice to read a good built thread |
Looks great so far. Kudos for putting in some real hard work !!
