Default Project ASS2000 from Speed Academy

Anyone seen this? I watched almost all 21 episodes last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm also excited to see future episodes once they add ITBs, tuning, etc. They do some irreversible mods I never would (then again, they are rescuing an S2K and making it a track car) and learn some things they probably should have known before, but that's part of the fun I guess. Overall, the hosts seem like good guys and the car is transformed.

Darn. Thanks.

Sorry mods, go ahead and delete if you'd like.

No need to be sorry, it's a cool story, I almost forgot about them, so thanks for bringing it back up.

I actually sold them the replacement front and rear subframes and steering rack that you see them replacing in one of the early episodes. I delivered the parts to one of their relatives, they live a couple hours away from me. I didn't really know much about them when I sold them the parts though.

Nice. Do you know where they are... or where that track is? I assume it's the Toronto suburbs.

Great show,
thanks for posting this here -
a real eye opener for anyone who plans to track his S2K (Or just curious about how hard it is to rebuild its front and rear sub frames)

They seem to be in the Windsor Ontario area, just across the Detroit border. I know in one episode they dyno tested the car in Detroit, and I delivered parts to them in Windsor. I'm located between Windsor and Toronto. The track they have been visiting is outside of Toronto.
