Into the Barriers?! Supercharged S2000

With my S2000 mostly fixed and the supercharger back online, we arrived at Mid-Ohio with a duo of boosted S2Ks and feeling cautiously excited. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse, for me anyway... We'll be back, sooner than later.

Real talk, I'm happy Fiona got a track day that wasn't her getting screwed over by her car!

[@JackieDing86]

I know right, Fina-fucking-ly ha. Get well soon man, missed battling ya at Mid-O

[@NSX.R]

The S2K can be fixed but there's only one Jackie Ding. Ultimately, just glad that you're okay and unscathed. Better luck next time. Well done to Fiona btw, very well done. You folks keep it up 👍

[@enzoardente4474]

It’s sad that you crashed but it happens. But now you have the ability to upgrade some more of the parts up front and adjust it. The car will come back faster and stronger the next time it sees the track

[@SuperGlacierGirl]

Dang Jackie, I know you are the bumper destroyer, but wow! Least it was into the tires and not a concrete wall. Always something causing bug a boos and problems. Fiona, way to go!!! 5 second drop in time! Best looking driver out there. Hope to see you both at Road Atlanta.

[@jesseperrella]

"Turn your head and cough" lmfao... its wild coming back to see all of this you've been through, but only makes me more proud of you! Never gave up🙏

[@timfleury2537]

If youre not crashing in your career you're not trying hard enough! Minor damage you'll be back!

[@DUDEfreestyle]

Well said.

[@ajhartmanaero]

Glad you mentioned the outwash of the bumper. The indent itself make practically zero downforce since high pressure in that cavity also pushes up on the top of that indent. But the outwash it creates allows the splitter to work a little harder, and hence the downforce gain. Good stuff as always!

[@JackieDing86]

That makes sense, at least what I postulated is 50% correct hahaha, thanks for giving some proper knowledge to this topic

[@ajhartmanaero]

@@JackieDing86 You are welcome. Also, not sure if you mentioned it in the video or figured it out but that fluttering noise... did you ever figure it out? Is that what caused you to go off? Since it happened with speed I'm wondering if the splitter came loose and was "porpousing" (flopping up and down) and you just had no grip in the brake zone?

[@JackieDing86]

You are exactly correct. One of the two splitter dampers at the front came loose mid-session. I’d still say I braked too late for T2, but the flapping splitter didn’t help. I’ll explain in a later video in detail, but you obviously figured it out ha

[@ajhartmanaero]

@@JackieDing86 That sucks. I'll be tuning into that video for sure. Keep em coming and I'll see you at an event soon enough.

Facts. I was chasing a lutus in my srt4 and i got intimate with a guard rail.

[@dustinmcgovney7684]

Once this car gets dialed on the new setup, it’s going to be a major threat to the class. Especially with how advanced of a driver Jackie is.

[@digitalpunk5365]

This is a fantastic video. Sucks about the crash but just shows how racing can really be. Get better jds2k. Excited for next vid.

[@elijahjenkins5847]

This was my first Gridlife/Circuit attendance , I completely forgot about it until Saturday night. So we headed there as soon as my wife got off Sunday morning. I was going to take both days off and I wish I would have. It was cool to see these track heroes in person and see how down to earth they really are. I'm really glad to see that you are ok and I know you will be back out as soon as you get the car fixed. Hopefully I'll be out on the track with y'all one day after I build my $800 98 Integra into a time attack monster like James's.

[@dantran5478]

Glad you are safe Jackie! Live to fight another day!

[@MattChristie]

Was sorry to see you crash man. Glad you are okay, the S2000 will come back better than ever! Fiona did very well, I was a couple cars behind her one session. I know most everyone doesn't care for it but i had fun in my EcoBoost Mustang in the Street RWD class. I was able to take that car and its currently terrible .80 power to weight ratio from a 1:48 in session 1 to a 1:41 in session 5. Session 6 was wasted in traffic and session 7 I could only get 1:42s.. Watching your videos had helped prepare me for the event, thanks man.

[@Dethred1]

FYI, your radiator and supercharger heat exchanger aren't getting optimal airflow without a heat shield between the bumper and the radiator support. Instead of air being forced through the radiator, some of it is escaping above it and into the engine bay.

[@Silent_Keith]

It was really nice chatting with you in hall near the elevator Saturday evening. Really sucks this happened, but you do push the limit everytime.

[@lorderussell4091]

Please check sub frame alignment and both upper and lower control arms.

[@ryanfrew7439]

Awesome job, Fiona! It was fun chasing you this weekend. Hope to see you guys at Autobahn or Midwest!

[@TheBreakfastClb]

Sucks about the car but it happens! Keep your head up, happens to the best. Could have been much worse, hope to see you back on track soon.

[@NAUS2K]

Awesome vid, just coming across your channel now. Great fellow S2k content!

[@DeweyWRX]

Thanks for the #gofastorsuck shout-out too ;)

[@aaroneberle5920]

If Fiona cleaned up her line throughout the track she could easily drop +1sec off her best time. Sorry to hear about the incident, but glad you guys had decent weather over the weekend. Keep the videos coming guys and gals!

[@spiritdrift6207]

Can’t wait to drive with you and Brian again!

[@duartebbm]

Looks like the noise distracted you. In session 2 you were braking a little before 300 while when you crashed it was almost between 200 and 300. Anyway it looks like you got away relatively ok and this kind of video often brings a lot of new subscribers! I have been following for a while - great driving anywhere you go!

[@JackieDing86]

I was on a push lap, tried to brake a little later than before, didn’t pay off

[@ItsJustCams]

Glad you're alright dude. Could've been more but I'm glad it wasn't. Did you ever find out what the flapping noise was before the off-road excursion? And looking forward to seein yall at Summit Point!

[@aisu8481]

Ever figure out what the flapping was? loose splitter? That would contribute to the lockup..

[@Chad.D]

You Gotta Teach Fiona "Slow in fast out, use all of the road to make steering as minimal as possible for the fastest line." She was shaving time so thats great progress!

[@JackieDing86]

She knows that full well ha. Just need some more seat time to be more comfortable and she’ll get there

[@planchernewfinish]

you only made a ding to your car :) great driving! reminds me of me when nothing else mattered balls to the wall driving! i just discovered your channel your giving me the tast of coming back to give it a go again... are you going another route for the car or changing model?

[@JackieDing86]

A car switch will be happening soon, but I wanna round off this S2K journey properly

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

Het omp logo is 🙃 that would drive me nuts🙈 Nice recap of the weekend ✌🏻

[@njshift]

Do you run an oil cooler? Also grab some t-bolt clamps to help prevent the hose(s) from popping off under boost. Worm style clamps aren’t as durable (as you have experienced) and are prone to failure. If you know the size let me know. I should have some spares laying around that I can send you.

[@CreepinCreeper145]

Few videos ago his oil temp was getting too high in the dirty air of a blue Type R even though he had a Mishimoto oil cooler on.

[@nerdy1]

Great driving, solid lines! Love your vids! I saw that you mention mid range torque lol that s2k is like my 600cc r6 I race. You don't need torque, just keep it revving sweeping those corners! mind you I'm at 7-16k rpm!! Could work on smoother transition from braking , downshifting and attacking the corner. You're going in a tad hot without letting the chassis settle? Cheers! Smooth is fast! Glad you're safe. You'll fix it up in no time! Imagine breaking bones and flipping over highsiding on two wheels 😡 that sucks....

[@DirtDude117]

Jackie, for hoses that flow air or coolant you need to use aluminum hose clamps that are not worm style. Phase 2 Motorstrend has some killer ones that would be a perfect fix for your problem "P2M hose clamps" Maybe if you add some aero-tape to the bumper+splitter to seal it you can get a little more aero too

[@JackieDing86]

Solid advice, planning on doing both

[@DirtDude117]

@@JackieDing86 Just glad you were alright.

[@RichC5R427]

Owning a S2K myself, I really enjoy watching your videos because you push to improve each time and as a result, we all learn. Having said that, you have lost ABS more than once so could you mention what the source of the problem was in your next video? I too have lost ABS on the track but I have a custom built diff and half shafts. My ABS rear rings were baring covering the ABS sensor, hence the failure when any little debris (shaving on the sensor magnet) came in contact. Great driving too!

[@JackieDing86]

I had recorded a lot of videos but have been super busy and not been able to edit any! They will come so please be understanding ha

[@Tracerz_tv]

It does look like the radiator support was pushed back slightly from the one angle I saw. Damage is almost identical from my wall tap 2 years ago.

[@JackieDing86]

Just a little bit, which is why we brought out the BFH ha

I'm curious about the cam profile for the s2000... I know its a strange question but is VTEC still left in the car? I'd imagine that if it were possible I would remove the VTEC part for one very high performance cam profile

what exactly went wrong with your car that caused you to lose brakes? Did you lock the brakes and the ABS wasn’t working to disengage and prevent the lock up?

Need a stronger splitter, even a chassis mounted plywood splitter is more solid than that

[@dreamdrivedrift]

It happens, this is the nature of racing. What's Fiona going to do about her seat? Curious to see the solution because my wife is also short and needs to drive with a pillow behind her in the S2K + bucket seat. Not sure what to do besides get her a bigger pillow that supports her head and shoulders too.

[@JackieDing86]

Potentially a new seat and custom seat rails

[@NippyMoto]

Damn 30mph impact, also when cadence braking are they supposed to be long strokes or short on the pedal? I noticed yours were short but I always thought they were supposed to be long, with that being said I can't really see anyway from the footcam itself.

[@JackieDing86]

The Brake on 06-09 S2K without ABS is more sensitive than a hungry and angry Fiona...

On a serious note, why would you continue to push when you could clearly hear something wrong with the car...? That was self inflicted and difficult to watch, and I'm not talking about you hitting the barrier.

[@JackieDing86]

Heard the flapping noise at that moment but didn’t recognize it as something going wrong. Ended up being a flapping splitter which didn’t help my cause, but wasn’t the cause of the accident so oh well.

[@pramodaravi7370]
