[@krazykorean42069]

So much room for activities!

[@griseldarodriguez3961]

perfect ride height nice build! iss it lowered on springs or coils? if so springs what brand and how's the quality , thanks!

[@cocx88]

that best friends reference lol got up cracking up.

[@cobratoxic]

Pete have so many cars this s2000, evo, porche and the nissan. He must have a very good job.

[@speedacademy]

+cobratoxic This is my full time job! I just always buy cars for cheap then build them :)

[@royceromo6879]

Ken is a crack up love the dance moves too!

[@Goathierbmw]

Awesome series :D

[@javiergarcia88]

Lol I got too excited when I saw Pete pull up in the tundra

[@onyxmotorsports4755]

she's looking good!!

[@dreezyfranklin]

What could I add to the fenders for more of a molded on look? like blend it in to the car with some sanding. helpplease

[@MC1796]

I think you guys should wrap in bright white with speed academy text in black running from the rear quarter panel to the beginning of the front fender on an angle, the logo on the hood, and the motto below the rear license plate.

[@CrossWindsPat]

LOL ken with the step brothers reference was funny.

[@jdmfreak22]

Ken rocks and he is hilarious!!!

[@infamousjdp]

Awesome!!!

[@SeanPhelps-qh2eu]

Project grip s14 updates > s2000 update. Great video and the s2000 has come a long way, but I crave more s14 in my face.

[@speedacademy]

+SILVIAsean we will give you a S14 facial soon, we promise

[@issjakers]

for the fender moldings, is their a specific size for it?

[@assassin72]

I'm surprised you guys are going wider for wheels and tires! I think it looks great right now and the wheels seem to sit flush.

[@speedacademy]

+assassin72 overall offset of the new setup will only be slightly more aggressive than we have on the car now. But we want to run a DOT semi-slick and for that the best size options and compound options are in 18'' diameters, plus we want to go a touch wider on the wheel and tire for more grip. More grip, more cornering speed, or so we hope. We'll find out soon :D

[@assassin72]

Speed Academy I can't wait to see it! Hopefully it'll be at TMP when I'm there!

[@victoroliveira3256]

Yeah baby

[@willlafreu]

Is it possible to bolt on fender flares, Cover bolts with bunddo ,sand primer an paint.? Not a fan of bolts showing on flares

[@ze_german2921]

How well is the Carbon Fiber Roof made? Is this Fiberglass with a layer of Carbon or Carbon all the way? I want to buy one for mine but there are many knock offs. And are there any Wind Noises at Highway speeds?

[@SDBoards55]

lol, that step brothers reference though 😂

[@ragef1225]

do the doors open ok with that extra rubber lip?

[@sweatyboizz5982]

finally after 2 months

[@Aiello_]

12:06 confirmed, Ken is in a Kpop boyband hahaha he is awesome! would be nice to see him in more videos :D and the car is looking amazing!

[@drewon2s]

If you had to pick a car either the s2000 or the frs for Track and street use which would you pick thanks in advance

[@mushy18100]

Andrew Agard I'd pick the AP2

[@OtwoJockey]

loll ken had to be a murse. good work pare!

[@raheendemarest5655]

what bolts did you use to fasten the fenders?

[@dans5595]

which hardtop is that? is it well insulated? quiet? waterproof?

[@LboogieG12]

ken is a great pinoy addition to this series.

[@Mathis092]

Just a suggestion, I suggest going with APR GT3 Mirrors not only do they look cool but I think they will help with areo as well

[@speedacademy]

+Matthias “Mathis” McCarthy cool idea!

[@Mathis092]

I thought might as well do it

[@2JSLay]

dc2 sidemarkers are plug and play on the s2k chassis but are also more flush with the body if you want to go that route. #themoreyouknow 😁

[@speedacademy]

+JSLay cool idea! Thanks for the tip (that's what she said).

[@cefb8923]

I just ordered my Downforce fenders for the s2k from Evasive a few weeks back, they say there is a second version being released and a new mold being created because the old ones would warp. Any word on that? But it looks sick though, and ive heard about the Toyota weatherstripping.. really finishes it out nicely.

[@speedacademy]

+be ef that's news to us on the sides warping. Ours are nice and straight so far.

[@cefb8923]

Good, lets hope they dont.

[@cepsixty9]

awesome

[@elrondmcbong467]

Is there a Reason why the Fronttires ar Mounted backwards?

[@Mile-long-list]

how much basmati fits in that useless wing on the back? did you test it in a wind tunnel or set the angle nascar style with a hammer

[@nelson8708yahoo]

Awesome video as usual, need jack stands though.

[@binodmenahihu8104]

You guys are cool... I just subbed

[@furiangameclips]

any function to those side diffusers for this 'race car'? also, why not put a lightweight battery instead of getting the tie down made for the big stock battery, you can save 20lbs on a track battery.

[@speedacademy]

+dasfurian yes, the side splitters will help prevent airflow from spilling under the car along the sides and disrupting the low pressure area beneath the car (that helps generate downforce). We haven't really done any weight reduction mods on the S2k yet, but we probably will eventually switch to a lightweight battery. But in the meantime, we have a pretty badass tie-down for the stock battery ;)

[@TicketsOnSale]

Is there a complete mod list for the ass2000 cause I just purchased one recently and want to improve handling I already have coil overs

[@speedacademydave]

+TicketsOnSale lots of details in our build stories on the website: speed.academy/?s=S2000

[@jessecarrillo5130]

have you guys put in injectors on the car yet ? I remember when you guys were finishing itb installation that was one of the last things you needed just wondering where's the vid?

[@speedacademy]

+Jesse Carrillo yup, injectors are in as of a couple days ago :D

[@jessecarrillo5130]

Cool looking forward to video 😀

[@jan94_]

Nice video :) Keep on the good work guys ;) btw. would you recommend to buy a mazda miata na? :D

[@speedacademydave]

+Jan 94 for sure we would. Love NA Miatas. We will build one someday, maybe with a K swap :D

[@jan94_]

+David Pratte good to hear :) now i'm excited :)

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

I was subconsciously expecting disco for this video too...but then I quickly realized it's not the Celica series. Maybe have the S2000 house, and keep the Celica disco? ...esp since they both fit the era.

[@rustynutzz3504]

Looking Bad Ass.

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

Where's the porsche ? did you leave it in Arizona ?

[@ascndentkunglao]

What rims are you guys running?

[@ColinBlountPhotography]

No paint love for the CR front lip?

[@speedacademy]

+Colin Blount we like it black, but we might paint it eventually. Still playing around with the old girl's style a bit.

[@OOHkev]

Mind sending some stickers to a broke college kid, awesome build by the way!!

[@mokagie]

when you guys do the dyno tune you guys should test the myth of loosing horsepower with the air filter of the itb's! i need to know if its true or not!

[@speedacademy]

+mokagie will will definitely be testing with the filter on and off.

[@testing316]

Badass2000 is look amazing! when is it hitting DDT? I want to go see it!

[@speedacademy]

+testing316 not sure when we'll be at DDT. We do most of our testing at TMP, but we're also taking it to GridLife and/or HondaMeet down at Gingerman.

[@testing316]

+Speed Academy cool any dates at TMP?

[@speedacademy]

Nothing firm yet. But hopefully sometime in the next few weeks. Typically we go on Wed or Fri evenings since that's the cheapest track time available.

[@denis_vr6]

badass2000

[@nicomuchuelas]

TUNE IT ALREADY!!!! >:D Awesome job guys.

[@speedacademydave]

+Nico Muchuelas I know, right? Next week or two, for sure.

[@brunobossio2388]

you should wear neoprene gloves working with acetone. it cant leach into your skin which is not good for you. but you are building a bad ass fleet !!

[@agfx000]

Note that your front left tire is mounted backwards or you switched this wheel with a wheel from the other side...

[@speedacademy]

+agfx000 lol ya, Pete noticed that too when he had a look at the car. The bastard...

[@alexisculp5081]

So good! Soooo funny! :)

[@FreeWillehh]

What wheels are you guys planning to put onto that beast?

[@speedacademy]

+FreeWillehh a new design from Gram Lights. We should have them soonish.

[@CrezBroSteph]

Is there a way to install them with out the bolts or screws?

[@speedacademy]

Not unless you mold them into the body.

[@ElementalMapping]

Goals

[@deweberis6656]

Forgot something in Texas Pete?

[@Nepypr]

Nice..... nothing like a s2k update on the same week you buy one to further confirm that you bought the right car.

[@JoshPooreReal]

+Felix Melendez I get mine in a couple days!

[@Nepypr]

+Josh Poore Best buy I ever made man. I got a bonus with mine, It came with a OEM hardtop painted to match. I did my research and I was patient, took me a month to find it but it was worth the wait. Enjoy it bro!

[@BlacklistBuilds]

Did we just become best friends?? lol that was great 🖒🖒

[@torlarppookphant9280]

what size tires??

[@edwinnathanael6855]

how about matched colour for the front lips hehe

[@speedacademy]

+Edwin nathanael We left it black to keep the contrast with the rest of the car.

[@josecardona4957]

What year is it

[@jdmDC2ftw]

A show car is not always a race car, but a race car can always be a show car

[@Kim2770]

He's not going under the car, people!! ... Ken puts his head in under the car... :D

[@TheMagalhaes24]

Guys do a cold air intake for the itbs

[@speedacademy]

+Dani Rodrigues definitely thinking about it!

[@TheMagalhaes24]

Glad to hear that! Nice job so far ;)
