Hey just looking to get some information on time attack events in the area. Not looking to go to any of them soon, but i just want to know how the system works. If anyone has any experience please share them i'm very interested to see how well people do with lightly tuned s2000.

 

A few of us on this forum participate regularly in cscs. Define lightly modded? Even the street rwd class is pretty competitive.

 

Um i'm actually not sure what "lightly modded" should mean haha, do you know the rough specs of s2ks or cars that compete in the Street FR class?

 

Yeah, the lap record at TMP is currently held by a supercharged S2000 on BFG Rival tires. To be competitive with an S2000 in street class, you'll need to spend money. Decent suspension (KW V3's), square tire setup (Dunlop Z2's), stiffer front swaybar, good intake/exhaust, a dyno tune, a bit of weight reduction, and above all, seat time.

 

Try the CSCS website for the rule book and lots of info.

I got third place (0.05 behind second ) with just intake, exhaust, tune, and lightweight flywheel. The wheels are non staggered but tires staggered at 235/255, dunlop starspecs z2. I have a stoptech big brake kit, but oem calipers are good enough. If I wanted to win I would need to buy aftermarket suspension, lighter weight flywheel, and play around with my sway bars. Adding horsepower by stroking my motor would probably be necessary as well, or supercharging. It depends on if Rami can pull off his good times during competition or not.

Lightly modded can be in a competitive area, but it wont win basically. A few more things and seat time can bring you to a winning potential.

 

Wow that's intense haha, thanks for sharing! I'm planning on making my car into a time attack car once i have enough money for a daily driver. But from what you just said, it seems it will take a lot more money before i have a car that's even competitive

 

yeah, seat time's essential. probably the best bang for your buck especially when you're starting out (i.e., track days, instruction, etc.). i just started tracking this season and was humbled by how much there is to learn, though in hind sight, that should've been obvious.

 

Yea i totally agree, I actually bought the s2 back in march and only got to go to the track once in October. I've practiced heel and toe and also how to hold a racing line and stuff like that, but when i went on the track it was completely different. Really looking forward to training on the track and hopefully one day go to these time attack events!

 

As an aside, what do people on this forum think is a realistic "fastest" time for a stock S2000 at Cayuga (with street tires)? I've spoke to a few guys and it seems that 1:25 is fairly realistic...thoughts?
