Track day testing my S2K at Sandown

[DC5TYPER]

Bit over 200km/h. I do brake/lift early though.......cost to much to crash and I'm not rich!

That should roughly give you a lap time around 1:32's

[beeza]

Damn.You worked that out from a top speed? How?

[DC5TYPER]

Thats kinda the ball park figure. I did similar top speed in the DC5R and got 1:32.

On 200 got me around 1:34ish

190 got close to 1:40

[beeza]

Yeah nice,gotcha!

It really made me decide I am going to change the final drive. I felt it was too tall in some of the corners in second it went off the boil and in first it would be near on the limiter. Also on the back straight pulling fifth right near the end I would rather be on the limiter in fifth at the end of the straight.

All fun and games I guess!

4.57 ftw

[vyets]

4.77 woooo

[beeza]

Would it not depend on how your engine gearbox is set up,i.e. the other parts in there?

Sounded in some of the corners it was out of vtec. 4.77FD would be a nice upgrade.

4.77FD would be a nice upgrade.

Why is that?

[tamay_s2k]

ur s2 sounds so F**** TUFF. wat an animal omg =D
so brutal
i hope 2 mod my s2000 soon..only had it 4 3 weeks..cant afford mods yet =[

please..tell me more about ur home made intake. im intrigued

[JAP-S2K]

Why is that?

It bunches the gears closer as such, all gears become shorter and when you shift into the next gear your in a better power band. This is without a doubt one of the best mods to do to a n/a S2000, if you plan to track your car. However with that said it can very annoying (4.777 at 100+ kms) if you do alot of highway use especially with a loud exhaust.
