no doubt...bogging like nasty.

Hey I wanted to ask about your gears. since we both have ap2's that is. I'm thinking about purchasing the 4.57's with comptech diff housing and also comes with a kaaz lsd. Seems like a good set-up, but I wanted your impressions on the benefits of having the gears on the ap2. Street driving I know feels great because i've driven an ap2 with them. How about performence wise, and highway use?

Where are you getting this setup from that includes a Kaaz LSD?

I really like the 4.57-R FD. I did a road racing event a few months ago and I was able to pull hard out of the corners. I notice the biggest difference in first and second gear. Highway use is very nice--I don't need to downshift out of 6th to pass people quickly.

I would highly recommend this FD.

Well the morons running the dyno kept losing the RPM signal, so the dyno stopped reading at 6300. They had no clue how to fix it. It was a Dyno Max dyno, the Land-Sea. Anyone have any experience with these? I am going back when the owner is there.

For those in the LA area, we should setup a dyno day at AutoWave sometime so that we can have our S2000s dyno'd on the same day and on the same dyno. That would give us very good comparetive numbers.
sounds GREAT you wanna get this set-up? im in


the guys from autowave dyno'd a TT NSX (customer car) at my work, thing put down almost 800whp. they are really cool guys and know what they are talking about.

I'd also be interested...even though, I'm planning for a re-tune by Mike. I'd still like to see some baselines and such. Let me know what you guys plan, and I'll try and make it out to whatever.

Well there's one for sale from a s2ki member that includes the kaaz unit with the diff. I'm kind of do, and kind of don't need to replace my diff right now. The only reason I am considering it is because it's cheap, and he can do the swap free for both of us at his shop.
