King Tut

I figured it was finally time to start my build thread on S2ki. I made the decision last year, that I was bored with my BMW Individual 2012 BMW E92 M3 in Laguna Seca Blue with Rust Brown interior. I knew that I would never track this $60k car, and while I have a BMW SpecE30 racecar, I wanted to see what kind of lap times I could put down in a faster car. I had previously owned a turbo Subaru BRZ, and the Honda S2000 came to the top of the list. The prices for used BRZs, just weren't where I wanted them, so I ended up looking only for Laguna Blue Pearl Honda S2000s. I sold my E92 M3 back to Cali, and the next week I was lucky enough to find John @ LHT Performance in the Tampa/St. Pete area selling just the car I wanted for the right price with just over 100,000 miles. The plan since before I purchased the car was to build a NASA TT3 time trials / time attack car based around a turbo kit. I know that many have attempted this and most have failed or not gotten the results they desired. That is part of the motivation of this build. I want to prove that you can build a competitive and reliable turbo S2000 time attack machine. The plan was to use this year to build the car and get in as many test days on track as possible. I have already run the car at NOLA Motorsports Park, Barber Motorsports Park, and I will be at Atlanta Motorsports Park this Sunday and heading up to Memphis International Raceway in April. It took me a long time to choose what I believe is the turbo kit that best matches my goals. I should have the PTUNING GTX3076R turbo kit and oil cooler by the end of April. All questions, comments, and suggestions are appreciated.

Love it. Laguna blue might be my favorite color on the S2000!

Very nice!

That's very nice. I'm really liking the Wed's in that color.

Good luck with the turbo setup for the track... that's a very very difficult and expensive road. Read through the R&C forums, lots of turbo builds have failed numerous times. The owners either ended up selling the car afterwards, or reverting back to NA.

This looks very promising

The SOS kit seems to do the job. I track with a local with the SOS kit. His car has two drivers at every local AZ event so it sees 8-20 min sessions a day with no problems. No failures after 1.5 years of tracking. He does take his car in for service more than a NA car, but its usually just for regular maintenance or to add more mods. Car can pull corvette down the straight .

best color ever!
