S2000 Track Day Videos Thread
 

Track days within the S2000 community seems to be increasing which is a great thing to see.

There are lots of separate threads with videos so I am thinking it would be good to have a dedicated thread for S2000 track (inc sprint, hill climb etc) days.

A link to the video and a spec of the car would be of interest to other members along with a brief description of your track day experience (ie, novice, etc).


I'll start with a recent track day I did at Oulton Park a few weeks ago.

Originally I started off the day in my track dedicated 205 GTI but after 5 laps the head gasket died so I towed it back home and took the S2000 back to the track.

The spec of the S2000:

Facelift 2004MY
Completely standard engine
Mugen Bushes
Koni Dampers with Eibach Springs
DS2500 Pads with standard discs

I have done track days for a few years now and I have done Oulton Park 2 times in an S2000 and about 10 times in my previous track car.

Video 1 - good tussle with an annoyingly quick Clio


- the passenger I had in with me was a bit worried as it was her first ever time she has been in a car on a track day.

Video 2 - Good tussle with a Caterham (or might have been a Westfield..............)

Car's sounding great there Robin! Must join you on a track day some time.

Here is one of mine:-
-Pre-facelift 2001 with 05 engine
-Tuned on AEM EMS2 with manifold back 70mm single exhaust setup and V2 intake
-Eibach pro kit springs
-Polybushed/mugen compliance bushes all round
-DS2500's all round on blank delphi discs with Motul RBF600 and custom cooling for rears
-Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 2 in 17" sizes

Some great vids here!

Sion, your car seems very loose at the rear, is that what you were aiming for with your suspension mods and alignment? Enjoyable to watch, but a bit hairy for me i think!
