sorry Cody not referring to $$ on the s2000 alone, but the entire market (my mistake)...spending your own $$ on two cars for this passion will bring rewards for the s2000 community and I'm glad you are there....especially moving forward. It's come a long way since that initial project. I wish more folks were as dedicated as you.

 

Thanks Arnold! The reason for my lack of "testing" on my other products is the lack of a "car". Nobody in Northern Michigan can donate a car to build, dyno products on so its kinda hard to get any kind of solid testing on them. Wouldve posted this on HT(where you got my previous quote from), but it was already locked...
Did you figure out your oiling situation? PM if you dont think it belongs...

 

Don't you just feel the love? Anyway, it's hard to argue with guys who call him 3-4 times a week and and are friends with him like jdmkid35. That was my opinion and that is what I truely believe. Think what you want but if you do your research you'll see for yourself. Believe me, I know both companies are good but I just simply believe Full-Race is a giant step above as far as R&D. Sorry if I upset you guys, but again that is my opinion. You guys stated yours and I stated mine.

 

nah Cody, I even posted something here in tech section and also on HT...I'm ordering a another oil pump and restricting the oil feed for the turbo some more. The oil pressure seems a bit low and when the car is idling the oil pressure light comes on intermittently....I could only assume there is a problem with the oil pump since everything else seems ok including the vtec solenoid after triggering it with a 12v source. I changed the oil several times and also checked the screen and such...I'm stuck on this one so we'll change the pump and see what happens. I really want to resolve this so we can begin our next project with you...

 

Yes full-race is bigger! but also cody is 21 years old and doing more things than most ppl are. LOVEFAB will be as nig as full race one day but also cody lives in a place where is snows 10 months out of the year so its kinda hard to do somethings!!! Im all for cody he's on top of his game for being so young.. I see LOVEFAB being a really big CO in the years to come.. Good luck CODY and keep up the good work "FO SHIZZLE" ..lol

 

Very true,

I believe Cody and Lovefab are really going to be a big player in the years to come, and let me tell you why.......There are alot of great company's out there that are going to give you a AMAZING product if you got the $$$$$, but the one thing in my mind that has put Cody over the top is:

1. Customer Service
2. Staying on top of his products
3. No BS claims.....What he says it does.....he does with a dyno sheet.


I think full-race is a great company with products as clean as any other FOR THE MONEY. What I would like to see more from Full-Race.....how bout instead of charging $1200 for your new intake manifold and "guessing" at 10-15 horse gains.....you show us.

Cody now has not just his own S2000 but a Shop S2000 just for testing and tuning and R&R work. The level of dedication to our paticular car needs not be over looked by this community.

TO sum up, I see Full-Race and Lovefab as two major players when it comes to products for this car. You should really just go with the company you think will treat you better, and use the info you have found her on the forum to help support your decision. In the end your going to get a fantastic product. Its the three things I listed above that made me go with LoveFab, but you make your own call.

Man what makes you think that they do testing on every product they sell but won't do it for the S2000? Check out this intake manifold they came out with for another Honda motor. It took them years before they perfected it and decided to sell it. They compared it to the AIR IM which was the best on the market(better than the JG edelbrock) and all their testing paid off because it's the best manifold you could buy.

http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=979697 This shows you some of the programs they use to design their products.

Check out some of the signatures of some of those members and you will see the fastest guys out there all back up the full-race product. Here is more testing with dyno sheets:

Check out the work on Paul Efantis' record setting 7 sec. DOT tire Supra and his two Solaras. They obviously know that Full-race does testing:

Brian Ballard, Jason Hunt, Courtney Green= first FWD T4 street cars in the 9's. All using Full-Race manifolds.

Wow, they even offer Robotic tig welding for some of their manifolds:

Look at some of their internal welds:

What about this 510WHP S2000 on 93 Octane pump gas(with dyno sheet of course):
http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=881328

Full-race is definitely the best out there as far as a kit.

 

I can't argue with that. All I'm saying is that the Full-Race product is the best out there as far as testing, quality and performance of their product. I think Cody is working his butt off and it's paying off for him. Trust me I like the guy. I paid and traded him parts for one of his first ram horn style manifolds for my GSR motor when he was first getting started. The manifold didn't clear the hood but I liked it so much that I modified my hood and ran it like that before I decided to sell it. I was happy with it though for the time I had it. I like what he is doing and I do believe he will be on top soon and I think that's great. Congrats on your success Cody.

 

You can bend the facts any number of ways. Who spends the higher percentage of their R&D on the S2000? Who has the most S2000 mules per employee?

Ok, those are bit biased.

But here's one for you. Who puts some of their profit back into the S2000 community in the form of S2ki sponsorship?
