It's up 200 pounds, but the weight distribution is stock, actually maybe better. I think Stock is 53/47. i don't think the weight increase should be noticeable. Ther's audio guys that add that much weight to a stock S2000.

I believe you saw the original owner/builder. He is in the Topeka area.

Well...you can see the perfect 50/50 weight distribution by the scale results. As you can imagine it handles pretty friggin fantastic IMHO.

Will get vids in the next couple of weeks.

That car looks wild...subscribing to this thread to learn more. The S5300 badge is cool.

Oh yeah, Welcome!
