My OEM+ SS AP2 Street / Track day thread
Hey guys! I've been a lonngggggg time lurker of S2ki and while I always liked S2000's, I never planned to own one. I've built TONS of other Honda's over the years.. some show cars and some track cars. After owning a few very different cars (STi, 370Z, ect) I took a break from the sports car life for a couple of years. Fast forward a few years and I found myself in the market for a RWD, roadster that was fun to drive. Then I asked myself why I never owned an S2000 being that I am a die hard Honda enthusiast... So I decided to get one! I have to say... I LOVE driving it!
Here are a few pics of my most recent Honda build. A real JDM EG6 SiR-S that I restored in 2013.
When I got it:
Stripped down:
Two months later:
I picked up my AP2 about a month ago now and have done a few small things to it so far. I bought it from a friend of mine that never really drove it. They did install a J's Racing single side cat-back w/test pipe and a set of BC Racing BR series coilovers.
It's a 2004 with about 75k miles so the original top was in pretty poor shape. So a few days after I picked it up, I got a sweet deal on an EZ-ON top and had it installed by an EZ-ON installer.
Since my buddy owned the car for a few years, he and his fiance only put about 14k miles on it in the 4 years of ownership. I brought the maintenance up to date and changed all of the fluids. My Honda dealer set me up with a sweet Honda hat!
The car was pretty low so I have since raised it up about two inches.
I changed out the OE sun-baked shift boot with a new black leather / red stitch unit and installed an HR white/silver delrin gear knob.
I had my friends in Europe send me some EDM Honda Access two piece floor mats so I could get rid of the gross OEM ones. These are so nice!
My AP2 and new CR-V Touring.
My good friend has an AP1 with the OEM optional BBS wheels, this thing is slick!
That's it for now. I don't plan on doing a TON of stuff to this car, certainly not going to do a full build like every other Honda I have owned. But I want to have some fun with it and do a few local track day events while the weather is nice.
Parts on the way:
Spoon CR93 Silver 17x8.5 +53 & 17x9.5 +63 wheels
Tires (undecided at this time)
Spoon Monoblock calipers
Goodridge SS brake lines
Hawk HP+ pads F&R
ATE Brake fluid
Volk Formula lugs
Other mods planned:
CR Front bumper and lip
First Molding hood
Voltex Wing
Recaro bucket
Seat Harness
Possibly upgrade the clutch & flywheel (Depending on how this one handles the first track day.)
Other than that I don't have much else planned.
Thanks for looking!

I looked for at least 4 weeks for a set of MF10s!! I found a perfect set with tires but the guy that has them "decided not to sell them," so I guess it wasn't meant to be. I picked up a set of Spoon CR93's for the track so at least won't be totally stock! haha!

Installed my wheels and brake upgrade last night. I must say, I'm really surprised with the way these things stop. I was anticipating the Spoon caliper to be a little better than stock but man, night and day difference. Of course, the rotors, brake lines, pads and fluid change probably has a lot to do with it as well.
I picked up these calipers from another member on here.
Spoon CR93 (Thanks Tommy @ GO Tuning for the help getting these sizes!)
17x8.5 +53 Nitto NT01 225/45
17x9.5 +62 Nitto NT01 255/40
Dirty ass wheel well.
Mock up of the caliper and new rotor.
Everything installed
Overall I'm really happy with how the car drives and stops. I was a little disappointed with the overall weight of the Spoon wheels and tire. Each front wheel/tire weighs in @ 45lbs, and the rear came in at 47.4lbs each. Pretty heavy compared to like a set of Enkei, Wedssport TC105Ns or even similar sized CE28N, ect.
Oh well, we will see how it all works out. I've got a track event coming up next month so it will be time to shred these tires!
