Raw Footage 2015.010 - AP2 S2000 at Sonoma Raceway

[@gmangigson]

One of my favorite channels! Keep up the good driving and excellent videos.

[@FCustureri]

Do you have any pictures of how/where you mounted your camera on your helmet? I've been using GoPros for a while, but usually mount them somewhere in the interior, because the side helmet mounting being off center really bothers me haha. But your POV looks perfect!

[@MrReesesMan1]

You are what I aspire towards, your videos are amazing to watch :)

[@chinpowrada]

i want to see you up at 9. i started off with a stock ls integra. fully built the motor and a friend showed me your video.....truly inspired, hands sweating, heart racing from just watching. i set up goals to take turns at your speeds and i came close. not trying to get all touchy touchy but you really challenged me

[@o_OS2000]

+chinpowrada Thanks! Yeah just keep building up the speed slowly. The learning process is the best part.

[@Ogwrad]

bro your a great driver. i have to learn how to down shift like that, what do we got to do to get ya to put a cam on your feet?

[@kevinlero8002]

The Days of Thunder got me rolling nice vids man

[@skeligandrew]

you are a real human bean

[@griplimit]

The fact that I get this reference is amazing or sad, I can’t tell which.

[@imptuner]

When are you coming back to the track??

[@shorew3]

I really enjoy your videos man! Just curious as to what your video cam setup is? i really love the all balls driving, hoping to post some up of our northern Canadian touge runs as well just the old hero to is incompetent for the demands lol. Cheers!

[@o_OS2000]

+wheels in motion I use a GoPro Hero3, mounted to the front of my helmet using a head strap. Audio recorded with an external sound recorder. Editing and color correction done in Final Cut Pro X.

[@o_OS2000]

+o_O S2000 *head if I am not on track and I'm in the mountains, no helmet.

[@fadablayne]

That Lotus was out! nice driving!

[@damianibarra2418]

Yo been watching ur vids for a long time.... Great driving.. Just wanting to know when is the next vid... Keep up the great work and drive safe

[@o_OS2000]

+Damian Ibarra No schedule really.

[@AlexandreZehPK]

amazing videos dude, could u tell waht camera r u using and how u fix to make the videos?

[@johnepa650]

What kind of tires did you use for the track. Sorry for the late comment.

[@o_OS2000]

Advan AD08R in this video.

[@colinbowman8816]

what size?

[@leg0ma2ter]

any mods on your skyline? getting mine soon in in SJ so maybe ill see up in skyline

[@xXPallaiXx]

Just earned yourself a sub.

[@ShiningStorm36]

any more vids on the way?

[@iMdAhAcKeR]

I want an S2000 after watching all these vids o_O

[@o_OS2000]

+Benjamin Eden Get it!

[@caseylockwood5512]

Love the camera position. Is it mounted to your helmet, near your mouth?

[@o_OS2000]

+Casey Lockwood Thanks. I have to say you are the only person to every properly guess the camera setup. In front of most with lens of camera basically at eye level. I just use a GoPro Hero 3 with the head strap, but remove the top strap to make it easy to attach to the helmet and get the POV angle.

[@icanturn6844]

debating weather to boost my miata, or buy an s2k. thoughts?

[@GItoKeG]

+Enzo loco You can leave the engine completely stock in an S2000 and still be very competitive with a suspension set up.

[@Aaronx3Sally]

+o_O This really is true. If you drive a Miata alone, it's fun. I went from my S2000 to my gf's Miata and I could tell it would be fun if it had a bit more power, but yeah. S2K for sure.

[@yitznewton]

+Enzo loco I was ready to get a Miata, then the local Honda dealer had an AP2 in stock. "What the hell" I said, let's test-drive and see what the fuss is about. Fell for it hard. Try it and get what you love!

[@kingJim4]

you should make a "walk around" video if your ap2. any plans for it?

[@emanualbarakat2777]

What are the mods to your car?

[@rustler1999929]

Very nice, Love it !

[@WhiteWingSTI]

How do you mount your camera? As always, nice driving!

[@henryliu8518]

+o_O what gopro setting do you usually use?

[@karoleslaw]

does it have automatic throttle blip or do you do that manually?

[@o_OS2000]

My right foot has auto throttle blip. :)

[@Green0421]

o_O S2000 i see what you did there lol

[@taylormeyer671]

Love your videos man! I have an AP1 and was wondering what your mods are. Is there anything this track requires you to have like a roll cage? (doesn't look like you have one) I live in the south bay, maybe ill see you on hwy9 or skyline one day, though probably not for long since you're fast as fuck on the touge ;)

[@_SeanM]

Nice driving! Love your channel and the points of view that you use in your videos. I looked around but haven't found an answer on any of your videos, what coilovers are you running?

[@o_OS2000]

+Sean MacDonald Ohlins DFV with custom spring rate, and just upgraded to a new Ohlins DFV setup with custom valving for stiffer springs.

[@_SeanM]

+o_O S2000 was the before or after this video? Because to me it looks the your rebound is lacking a little (hence your tail-sliding on the off-camber parts and on the rumble strips) and since Ohlins are double digressive piston shocks, you may just want to stiffen it all around, extra compression (esp in the rear) couldn't hurt to mitigate corner exit under steer, esp on the last one heading into the straight

[@o_OS2000]

+Sean MacDonald After. It isn't. I know you mean well but trying to assess dampers from watching a video is just not worthwhile. It is way more complicated than just dampers. I don't really follow the logic behind your suggestions either. I am definitely not getting any corner exit understeer. Appreciate it but not really looking for any setup advice.

[@_SeanM]

+o_O S2000 gotcha, you seem fast enough on your own anyways. Love your channel man

[@s2khecz292]

any new vids? 😫😅

[@Nessal83]

Christ that Lotus was no joke. you had no chance.

[@o_OS2000]

+Anson L Yeah it was a full on Lotus cup car on slick tires.

[@Nessal83]

+o_O S2000 do you know what other mods he had?

[@wordsworthian]

When can we expect new videos? You and the S2K still alive?

[@o_OS2000]

+Wordsworthian Today.

[@jdmkidk24]

good driving

[@Driiftex]

wow nice videos dude, I love touge racing, and your chanel it's too cool! ;) upload more touge vids please

[@o_OS2000]

+Driiftex. Thanks!

[@will.yk1339]

Whats up with the speed star website? Is it a wip or you just lost intrest.

[@o_OS2000]

+william summer the map will bee recreated at some point

[@will.yk1339]

+o_O S2000 👍

[@exproducermichael]

why did you get mad when you were near the wall? I didn't hear contact. The missed shift didn't really seem like that big of a deal either. Either way great driving :)

[@exproducermichael]

+o_O Cant argue with serious driving :D Keep pushing yourself and continue being an inspiration to all of us. You don't know how much I appreciate the quality of your videos and your driving.

[@psiturbo]

That hill is tricky, and very difficult to recover if you lose control.

[@o_OS2000]

+LM Space Yeah that's what I love about Sonoma

[@MrJaysChannel]

your Mile/KHM counter must be through the roof number's wise - you take this car everywhere ha.

[@arcad3racer]

[@o_OS2000]

+switchlaner They are still on the way. Very busy recently.

[@arcad3racer]

+o_O S2000 sure. Just love what you are doing, dude. Got instagram or facebook profile? Or you don`t want us to know them?

[@shanerosonina]

[@TheCTM124]

[@starbai410]

[@o_OS2000]

+touge410 _ Yep!

[@starbai410]

+o_O S2000 👍🏽💪🏽

[@Nimdonomuskid]

welp congratulations you got a sub

[@o_OS2000]

+Nimdonomuskid Thanks much appreciated!

[@joeymajestic]

nice

[@rolandotillit2867]

You're a good driver, but you lack a little finesse under braking, on the flip side it's given you good throttle control to compensate. You probably wouldn't have to use so much steering angle if you came into the curve a little more gently a hair bit slower, and you could use your exceptional throttle control to just guide the chassis through the turn. I know it seems counter intuitive, but trust me I see like 2.5 seconds you could have shaved off your fastest lap. Keep at it, I enjoy your videos :)

[@o_OS2000]

+Rolando Tillit I completely agree actually. I have some habits that are quick in the mountains but less helpful on the track so I always have to adjust. I agree that there is a good 2 seconds or so and a friend of mine in a similar car and setup has indeed done something similar. Really I need some more seat time at this track, there is always so much to learn with more time at a particular track. Looking forward to getting back to Sonoma to see what the car can do.

[@WeJustDrive]

Hey bud, do you have a private email I could message you on? Send it to my inbox if you do

[@tosoerry]

Days of thunder 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ChaseHoffman]

awesome driving man! been following you for awhile and you never fail to impress me. i have a Touge video on my channel you should check it out.

[@bradg.8577]

What is with the shadiness on the camera info man? its obviously is a go pro, given all the comments in other videos. I can understand not wanting to share your car setup info, but camera info and settings? You deleted previous info on that?? Jesus, you don't respond to anything. You can drive for sure and your videos are cool, but if you want true fans and followers, you could be a little more personal and helpful. Do you think some ones gonna duplicate your exact videos because we know what camera you use??

[@o_OS2000]

+Brad A. All of my previous replies were deleted because I transferred this channel to a new Google account so all those comments were deleted unfortunately. You posted a comment 24hrs ago that I haven't yet responded to. Be cool Yolanda be cool. I use a GoPro Hero3, mounted to the front of my helmet using a head strap. Audio recorded with an external sound recorder. Editing and color correction done in Final Cut Pro X.

[@bradg.8577]

+o_O S2000 Cool Man I appreciate it! I saw other comments you had made on random topics, but none on that, it just looked that way i guess. My bad. Keep up the good work. Ive watched most of your vids already, I just like the camera quality. Your driving is awesome! So is the Car! Thanks again.

[@o_OS2000]

+Brad A. All good. Trust me I was a bit annoyed when I realized all my old responses had been removed. But I needed to transfer to a new account for other reason. I do film/vfx for a living so I definitely know what I am doing when it comes to color correction and getting the best out of the footage. All my footage (especially the stuff shot at night) goes through a pretty specific color correction process. What comes out of the camera looks much different than what I get after correction. Hard to really share all the specifics but there are a lot of little tricks to get the best out of the footage.

[@bradg.8577]

+o_O S2000 I totally understand. I am just shopping for a good camera that i can use for everything.Your editing skill are awesome. This is some of the best s2k footage I've seen. I have an Ap1 03 myself, so im always looking for new s2k vids, parts etc. I know you cant comment or respond on everything, but I appreciate you getting back with me. Im subscribed and will be checking out future videos!
