Why doesn't it have enough power? People drift KA powered S13's and 14's all day long which have a good 100HP less than a stock s2000.

How does the s2k's rear end hold up to the abuse? Just curious . . . It doesn't really do much for me, but my best friend really is (he was stationed in Japan for a while) and does some impressive stuff with his S13.
LoOlL thats a good Question...its holdin up fine sO far but i plane on replacing my drive axels and L.S.D. for something better then stock.......i have had some problems with the V.S.A. thow.. even when turned off!!! it seems that it turns back on when the E.C.U. thinks the car is being pushed to hard.. then the car kinda stalls out check engine light comes on....at first i thought it was something happend with oil pressure or what not so i reseted everything ...then i pulled the V.S.A. fuses and i pushed the car hard again nothing happend....i still think i should get a baffled oil pan

^^^ yeah, the s DOES have more than enough power, BUT it has the power at the worst rpm spectrum for drifting. If you don't keep the car in vtec, drifting becomes pretty tough.

dear god given your name you are clearly the biggest initial d fan boy on s2ki, lol

go ahead and accept the fact that you are not going to be God Hand

and then go ahead and accept the fact that the s2000 is not set up for drifting, and please dont molest your 07 into a car that is.

I bet you even got a laguna blue one just because its the closest to God Hand's car......

Do a search for the clutch delay valve. As for drifting - it's fun but it's tough with low torque in the rpm band. Try getting some 4.77 gears and it'll give you much more low end grunt.

Every day when I pull out of the parking lot I park at, I position my car facing away from the exit, and spin the car around towards the exit for kicks and giggles

Check out the mods done to the RSR drift car this will give you an idea... the S is made to handle not break loose on you... so you got to do quite a bit to upset the cars natural blanace. Good news it can be done, just not easy.
