Talking IM BACK with the s2000 that fell off the lift

I'm BACK! Most of you guys probably remember my 607whp 2000 NFR S2000 with the PFAB top mount kit which I sold years ago. Came across the opportunity to pickup supercar suspects totaled S2000 that fell off the hoist at a shop he took it to get a clutch job done.

Anyways I'm super pumped to share the project with everyone and start this build. This one is going to be a dedicated autocross/track fun car rather than straightline power. That was one thing that I wasn't able to do with my last high hp build. Any questions or suggestions definitely lets discuss!

I'm going to be honest, i think its funny you bought the car. Watching his videos he made it seem like the car is a total goner and not salvageable at all. You would think with the money he makes from youtube he could just fix the car up and make it like new again.

Some people just aren't very mechanical. If you watch the vid when it fell him and all his friends think its scrapped and the frame is bent lol.

In this episode we remove the transmission and assess what is the problem with the clutch which is actually the reason why the car was brought to the shop in the first place before falling off of their lift!

We straighten a small portion of the frame where the door hinges mount in this video using some creativity lol

Now that the rear quarters fenders are cut we can start to fix the damage. In this video we start applying some filler on the passenger side quarter and also cut out the driver side fender to match
