he is trying to have a crazy $$$$$$ slapping the shifter moment!! nah just kidding dude. Anyways I know how it feels when you put something in your car that you think is cool and everyone starts flaming about it, so I do apologise and I see your point. You are an enthusiast and mad props to you bro. Peace out and have fun with you S2000jz

You know I was gonna post something, but this thread is worthless....Im moving on... this should not even be in this forum anymore. ...what a shame.

Anyways enjoy your new...automatic car. Just put it in D and drive. I guess now you can....?? slap yourself, cause if you slap the automatic shifter it would probably shift to neutral...and than... ooooppsss you be in real trouble..cause you are going to MANUALY shift it back to the D and that defeated the purpose of your build...

Peace out..!

Dave, 50/50 racing has a really bad rep here,and silverstwok appears to be linked (true or not). The reception has as much to do with that as the swap. And its almost a bad cliche' to put an auto tranny in an s2000. It's tempting to take the pictures, and post them later when ever someone suggest a silly idea. The caption would read "thats as stupid as putting an auto tranny in an S2000"

Silverstwok, post a video that shows a driving car and shut everyone up.

EDIT: Also, bring it to the Dragon meet this September, I'd love to see it finished, in person
thats fine. when inline pro first came about, they had a horrible rep also. they were hacks, and their parts were junk. now they have redeemed themselves, and have some fast cars, and quality parts. so i look futher than skin deep. maybe this guy is trying to do quality work. hell i dont know, but im not so quick to judge as many on here are.
he has even stated that he is not the 5150 guy. ill be watching lets just say that. its nice to see someone who is willing to do some R&D and make our car faster.
have fun gang, and see you all on the streets.

That is the worst analogy thus far.
Because 1. Inline Pro is an actual shop; not a garage like Brian. and
2. Inline Pro never stole anyones money.

do you honestly want me to list the number of shops that started out of someones garage?
do you want me to list how many times a transaction went down and an immature customer blew it out of proportion due to being unhappy of misinformed?

im not saying that either of these happened in this case, matter of fact i have zero clue about this whole deal. i just think the auto supra tans is pretty cool. and some people on here need to calm down on being asses. thats all

i just saw this thread, and i cant beleive the amount of idiocy here. so many haters, but thats par for the course when someone pushes the envelope.
personally, i think this kicks ass. IF i was involved, which i wouldnt mind helping, and suggesting. this car would turn 9s all day long. BUT it will need a serious driver with some big balls, cause its gonna take some work to sort the suspension. but it can be done, and the car should go straight as an arrow.
i specialize in small short fast cars. so sliding around doesnt scare me at all, its just making sure the car can handle being driven hard under that much power.
i think with few electronics, a good stall converter, solid tune, and slicks. that engine will make good use of the ap1's too stiff rear suspension. it will turn it to butter matter of fact. and thats good, keep the car planted. make sure it gets a full roll cage though.
as for the stock versus swapped debate, who cares. yes an F22 can make 700 wheel, all day long. its already being done, just because the people dont come to this forum (because of posts like this) doesnt mean its not out there. look at some of the F22's with inline pro kit, 600+ wheel, on shitty hack tunes, and pump gas?? jeezus. this engine is capable of alot. BUT if you want a 2Jz, then get it on!
who cares what other people think, i almost specifically use my s2000 for drag racing, and because of it, and the haters on here, i have a tarnish on me. they have no idea how to setup suspension, or how to drop weight on the car. so im out snapping off vettes, GTO's, sti's, evo's etc etc. and it creates heat.
because its not what everyone else is doing. same as here, leave this guy alone. his setup is sick, and should haul ass.
anyways. my rant is finished. later dave
Can you really not believe it? The idea of the auto 2jz S has serious potential to be a monster at the 1/4, no doubt. I've defended silverstwok in the past pages if you look back.. What concerns me tho is the execution. That center console needs alot of finishing work and I don't understand why he would go to such great lengths to show off the ugliest part of the car given the crowd he's dealing with. A simple under the hood shot or under carriage shot would have been fine. You can see that they removed the rear section of the center console. Why not just cut it out where it needed to be..? I think the best thing silverstwok could do would be to get a shot of that turbo..

No, I just want you to prove that Inline Pro was selling turbo kits out of their garage when they came to the s2000 market and IF they stole peoples' money. Until then, your argument is flawed.
