[johnshakroo]

orite here it goes massive list..

i recently got the car lowered from pedders, picked it up yesterday but for sumreason its not really low? he rekons gotta wait for it 2 settle?

also the vtech doesnt scream very loud for sum reason? lol
how do i make it louder, new airfilter ?

and also want more speed without blowing 2 much cash? best way 2 go? cars completelty stock.

[rokkuchan]

take off your airbox for more vtec screams.

and as for pedders... they suck...

[F20C]

lol.. yeah take the airbox off for the vtec + depth in noise. and when i got my stock springs on it looked sooo homo, but it set and went down a few inches.. when i first got it lowered chopped and compressed it didnt have to set it was on its balls literally. (if the car had balls that is lol)

[SuiJin]

lol hope you literally didn't just take off the airbox like the guys suggest it u still need to replace it with something that will prevent impurities from entering the throttle body :p ie. pod etc. lol silly silly if you did just take it off for the ludz n vtecsss.

Vtec is never loud in a stock car, get some sort of a intake if you want loudness. The Long Ram intakes are normally pretty loud.
What springs did pedders use? Depending on the spring it might have not lowered much and it does take afew weeks to settle but it will only settle down 1 - 2cm's depending on how crap the springs are. :P

Cheapest way to gain speed.. Strip the car $0.

If you want power.. well there's heaps of threads about it do a search

remove the soft top.

Go faster with 200-300kgs less weight.

remove the soft top.

Go faster with 200-300kgs less weight.

It's actually closer to 40 kilos in weight.

[ludecrs]

is that all?

[vyets]

lol wow i thought you were just jokeing :P

Stripping the whole car you`ll be "lucky" to get 100kg out of the car lol
I think the softtop might be a little less then 40kg

[johnshakroo]

lol niceeeeeeee i took the airbox off sounds a louder but i still want more lol. and where do i get my hands on The Long Ram intakes , my mate rekons get sum pipes installed 2 run to the bottom for more air or is that shit 2 bodgy?

[vyets]

You can do that or buy one.
Heaps of intakes avilable for the s2k.
Got the Injen or AEM long ram style intakes
u got the K&N short rams
and you got the J's and Mugen airboxes

:)

[VTEC74]

remove your spare wheel - 10kg

[NVD52K]

i using a k&n CAI and it goes pretty well look on the parts review section

[F20C]

lol what can you remove in an s2000 to make it lighter? im thinking of dropping my aircon lol what will that remove? weight wise..

[vyets]

You can remove passenger seat.. aprox 20kg spare tyre aprox 10kg, jack and crap 5kg. after that you pretty much have the carpets and plastics which will be under 20kg. and if you want to go hard you can go sound deadening which is around 5kg s2000 dosen't have much deadening.
Then you can go with Titanium exhaust which will save u around 15kg if you go with a single. Massive intake box if I remember correctly when I weighed mine it was like 7kg or so.

Aircon system will drop probally under 20kg.

Biggest weight drop will prob be softtop and motor. Which should be around 40kg ish. But then without a hardtop you have shit aerodynamics which ruins the whole point anyway. Not that the softtops dynamics are any good :P

[F20C]

lol i see, well i dont wanna get rid of my passenger seat as its a bitch only having one seat.. imagine none lol :( vyets do you drive your s2 on road?

[vyets]

Ofcorse I'm not a hard parker lol. S2000 Clocked 15,000kms this year... and that's with a civic I daily around which did only did 10,000kms this year LOL.

[ludecrs]

LOL, I knew the roof wasn't 200-300kgs, but I did think it was about 80kg or there abouts.

[9large]

Yeh, it's about 40 kilos :thumbsup:

~25kg for soft top assembly,
~14kg for supporting/associated structures (plastics, cross member, etc)

Total: ~40kg

Not as heavy as some would think.

Just remember, the S2000 is not a coupe/sedan converted into a roadster, so it doesn't need all the extra crap that comes with strengthening a tin-top when you lop off its roof. Usually, cars that have been converted weigh - oh - about 200-300 kilos heavier. ;)
