S2000! I love the red interior of the type R. I’ve been waiting since April for an allocation of a GR86 halo premium manual! Formula say my wait May extend into the fall for a 2024. Now, I’m contemplating an S2000 instead🤷🏾

So he’s basically ruined his CTR with that KW suspension that’d only work on track. And changing the suspension is why you’ve got the torque steer as he’s ruined the stock geo set up - set up to near eliminate torque steer. Still love both! Just stock for both

Good analysis! Gotta say first video admitting the bouncing fl5 is a bit much. I mean it even shows up in other vids. That s2000 is on my future list

I have an s2000 modified for the circuit but I have to say I’m really a fan of how this new fl5 looks. Not a fan of fake engine noise though.

It’s a shame, all those extra research and performance addition to FL5, you add the same tires/wheels to the FK8 (nonLE) and I’m pretty sure it will be a better and faster car. The FL5 does have better shift due to lighter flywheel, and I do believe it has a bit better cooling. Currently daily my S2000 as oppose to the Type R. Type R sitting at 3000 miles

The Type R is so bouncy partly because of the evidently wrong Eibach springs. Also the lowering does not look good IMO.
@jubbalandcars Жыл бұрын
Type R is already incredibly bouncy stock, per launch videos. The springs do make it worse though

@@latuba2478 it was explained to me in a post above the car was on aftermarket springs which made the car ride even worse. A firm ride is fine. Bouncing all over the place in a road car isn’t. In my opinion. Which obviously doesn’t align with yours. That’s cool. Everyone’s different. Have a lovely week.

Is the wear and tear on a 22 year oldcar noticeable -- shifter, steering feel and response, etc ? Or does maintenance including replacing ball joints, bushings, engine mounts, etc keep it feeling like new ?
@Riknos Жыл бұрын
my 19 year old S2000 has a tighter feeling gear change than my FK8, but I have replaced shifter components and lubricate it to get it there.

Definitely noticeable compared to power mileage S2K I’ve driven. But agreed with Rik that even high mileage tired S2k had better shifter feel than new FL5
