Raw Footage 2016.001 - AP2 S2000 touge

[@theworldlaughswithyou]

Please bring the videos back. We need to see the ASM update in action.

[@3SBK89]

I follow so many channels on youtube.. You are the first person that does the same thing as me. When it's late and everyone is sleeping I go to the mountains and just ride. No pressure, no races, no traffic, just me and the car. Its not about fastest time down or up the mountain, its about enjoying the ride and having fun. Great video!

[@o_OS2000]

+Neck Peck Exactly right. Thanks for watching.

[@3SBK89]

+o_O S2000 glad you're back btw!

[@TUNERZX]

Neck did you still drive on the mountains? I bought a car a half year ago, here, in Brazil, doesn't have mountains but have some few old roads like this in the videos... Man, it's the best feeling ever. My car is not fast, not expensive, very cheap by the way, 1.0 l engine, but with some modifications, the exhaust sound is goddammit good, the pleasure is insane. You have videos? And you o_o s2000, why you stop posting videos? Man to me you're a legend. Get back to the videos. I will start soon posting my too! Take care yourself guys, drive safe and enjoy every driving!!!

[@marciosilva89]

I do that too. It's an adrenaline rush and peaceful at the same time.

[@Anthonykoc]

Was literally just going through all of your old videos and thinking wheres he gone. Good shit man, loving all the videos!!

[@o_OS2000]

+Anthonykoc I salute you sir.

[@diogomelovful]

Welcome back Sir. The night pack was missing you

[@regchavez1831]

The moments you so desperately try to depict; the micro seconds of pure bliss, the pure awareness of your own mortality, is the reason why I breath. You've got the vigilance to record these moments. Where as I try to live it by mind. Perhaps recording maybe a better way to look back when I'm grown and old.. Maybe some day I will catch you or more likely you will catch me on the touge. 😘

[@o_OS2000]

Well that was beautifully worded wasn't it. Thanks for watching.

[@Feuebringer]

When the going gets tough, and I can't run the touge. I come here and watch this video. Cleanses my soul and heals my heart.

[@owenlee4585]

DeadFudge same here. I've watched this video over and over and over. In my mind nothing is as pure as flinging yourself down a mountain road as fast as possible for the sole reason of going fast. Nothing more, nothing less. Just drive.

[@cascadecruiser101]

Thank you for being the final push I needed to get an S2k. Best decision of my entire life.

[@nalabear97]

Well? What are you waiting for? Get out there with the camera on and go!

[@owenlee4585]

The ghost of California touges. Maybe one day I'll have the honor

[@chmandcrm]

I didn't believe that you uploaded a new video when I saw it in my sub box, had to take a double take.

[@lexiefeather]

Your videos make my heart race every time. It reminds me of how special a touge run can be. Memories for life, its really hard to describe. Take care!

[@fruitygranulizer540]

my friends just introduced me to the i-9 and now im hooked. was able to find the limits on my car in a way i never have before, and it was probably one of the best things i've ever done.

[@D14EVA]

Pharcyde+a roaring s2k=chills down my spine.

[@bigturbost666]

I always come back to this channel wondering why he randomly stopped recording and uploading these amazing videos. I hope he's doing well and alive. If you see this, come back.

[@jalepenopvp2300]

Apparently he’s still active in the touge scene, and I was told he had an Instagram, but was never given the name. Assuming he stopped uploading for personal reasons

[@Lurkindork]

@@jalepenopvp2300 I’m not going to deep for his privacy but according to his ig page he still has the s2k he’s not uploading due to COVID some people asked in comments of post. And don’t ask me his ig I just felt like he stopped uploading for privacy reasons and thought to say that he and his s2k is still up and running. He still is reading our comments. So yeah. Pls upload s2k man

[@__dm__]

If you care enough, visit the norcal scene, find anyone with an S2000 and ask for o_O S2000 and you'll find him within a few hops

[@markandres7946]

people would say your "god arm" but you seem like Ryosuke by the way you drive. just saying using an initial d reference

[@o_OS2000]

That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

[@E36tuning]

I bought an E92 335 and your videos have made me regret not grabbing an S2k ever since. Glad to see your back!

[@rickygrenadier6303]

The first few minutes until 3:56 of this video are incredible. The ethereal music playing juxtaposed against the Inline-4 engine screaming its heart out put me in a trance-like state. Thank you

[@AD-yt8ik]

Dude!! Spotted you on meridian today haha you got off 280 banging thru gears. Tried flagging you down to tell you to make more touge videos but you were like 😎 haha nice car tho. I was in a white 4 door gti

[@o_OS2000]

You didn't see nothin! 😎 Sorry I was busy testing some new suspension bits. Thanks for watching. More videos definitely coming.

[@grumpystony]

@@o_OS2000 where can we follow ya?

[@AbsolutAutobahn]

It's been some time since the last videos, it'd be a shame if it stayed like that.. we need a comeback, you're literally the one that got me into touge, i have a home stretch myself which me and my friends race on regularly

[@endawhelan5009]

you videos hit me so hard...the sound of that f20 screaming through the mountain, makes me happy to be alive, your videos are the best

[@jorgerebello8238]

Great job! it's a pleasure watch a new footage!

[@NolifeSosun]

i love the way the perspective the different angles give the road. The camera attached to your head makes it seem like you're going so fast while the other seems so calm and smooth. Love your videos man. If I wasn't ruining my AP1 with stance I'd love to make videos similar to this.

[@o_OS2000]

+Dirkaah Yeah I wasn't planning to do a 2up video like this but was playing around with both clips and the comparison was really interesting to see. The POV view is much more representative to what it is like to drive the car from my perspective though.

[@alexbalagurak4226]

Glad to see the videos back! Teared up with that intro

[@TricksterThe5th]

You're back man! You're my inspiration to film touge vids!!! Cant wait for more of your vids

[@o_OS2000]

+CallmeBoon Thanks for watching!

[@TricksterThe5th]

No problem! Hope to see more of your vids!

[@Bocvn68]

WoW!!! Your driving Skills are Amazing!! I can't tell how you inspire me as a Driver, but it's great to see you back again. Sir.

[@mq77016]

I can honestly say that you have the best quality touge videos on youtube! SICK GRIP! Your videos have made me a fan of the S2K. Im in the market for one now. Keep the vids coming and stay safe!

[@o_OS2000]

Thanks for watching!

[@0yorick93]

Nice driving! the first part made this the most relaxing video on KZbin for me. Greetings from The Netherlands

[@o_OS2000]

+0Yorick Thanks! Yeah music was a perfect fit.

[@polipochilegge]

i love your videos! damn i really do! Not sure about using both framings together tough, maybe switching between the two at times would do it better, definitely prefer the POV camera frame... what cameras are you using, i'm sure you already answered this question just cant find it

[@mikehendrix2202]

I agree the POV camera only would be so much better imo.

[@o_OS2000]

+Mike Hendricks Yeah I decided to try this 2 up view because I actually fucked up the angle on my POV view haha. Interesting to compare the sense of speed between the two so I though I would share.

[@o_OS2000]

+Mr.xxxxxxxxxx17 GoPro Hero4 Black (POV) and GoPro Hero4 Session (fixed), custom mic and audio recording setup. Footage out of the Hero4s looks great right out of camera so just some minor color grading on this to get the look I like.

[@polipochilegge]

***** Thanks for the answer! i've got a hero3+ but at night is not the best :\ gonna try to do some touge videos myself but that road you drive on is astonishing

[@GarethJonese]

+o_O S2000 Super interesting comparing the perception of the speed, I think one of the less noticeable reasons the POV looks quicker is the wider angle

[@NandoZ06]

I raced an E92 M3 up highway 9 a while back and surprisingly kept up. I have a NA 300zx with coils and other suspension bits, and some re11s. Shows you that it's not just about the car, but more importantly the driver. Great vid good to see you back!

[@o_OS2000]

+NeMeZX It is completely about the driver out there. Thanks for watching.

[@MorganJDM]

it's good to see and listen your s2000 in action !

[@catzbunn]

Yes, so glad you're back!

[@ChaseHoffman]

Yes Dude! you are my favorite channel hands down! nobody else has a channel so raw, i look up to you as inspiration for my channel. i have been trying different camera set ups and most of the time my POV is too high and cant see the road very well. trying to think of ways to move it around my mouth area which would give the best field of view imo. Thanks for uploading!

[@o_OS2000]

Thanks for watching! I have the camera on my forehead and have a sort of custom setup so it is angled down the proper amount. In this video I actually fucked up and the camera wasn't angled down properly so that is why I ended up doing this split screen view.

[@PeterPorsche1]

Amazing Video. Amazing Quality and amazing driving! I am blown away

[@o_OS2000]

+Popo popopopo Thanks for watching!

[@Clark_R]

I feared one of your late night escapades went bad hence the delay, heh. Haven't watched this yet, just saying it's nice to see you back.

The Toda testpipe makes the car sound fantastic. Great vid.

[@o_OS2000]

[@icanturn6844]

YESSSS! I really hope to catch u around someday.

[@_fameONE]

Great videos. You follow very tight lines and manage to keep things in one lane.

[@o_OS2000]

+Brandon Saunders Yeah I definitely don't recommend to attempt what they see in the videos, and everyone should generally stick to one lane but even in this video there are places where it makes sense to cut because of what is happening in the road or if there is a ton of visibility up ahead. I can't really logically explain it but it is something you learn when and where to do and when and where to always avoid. Knowledge of a road is EXTREMELY important before learning to drive it quickly.

[@_fameONE]

***** i hear you. That's how we did things in Japan. Guys would scout the courses and treat it as professionally as we would if we were on the track. It's good to see that attention to detail in the states.

[@miomiek861]

I hope that some day you come back. We miss you

[@Tizupdb]

Wow! Seriously wow! Your videos are prefect! I haven't seen such great videos in a long time! And the driving looks awesome! I wish we had these kind of roads here or is touge pretty much possible everywhere?

[@kevinarroyo5862]

+Mr.Knister you should. Miatas would handle amazingly. Of course not much speed but depending how you drive it, it can be pretty quick. Its hard to believe that i crashed my golf mk3 on this same course. You should try it though. The thrill is amazing.

[@supraevo95]

Bro, I'm from Germany. Most roads here are flat and boring. I gotta hit the Nurburgring or some track like that, which is expensive as fuck for a car mechanic apprentice.

+Noah Miles Very lucky. There are always places where you realize you cut in or out a bit when it is a win open corner with visibility, bot those are just full on blind corners there. Definitely lucky.

[@Kakeyoro]

+o_O S2000 yapparii. I really like how it sounds on the mic. Any noticeable benefit in performance over your other one?

[@ICEMANZIDANE]

First in 2016 right? Good to see ; ) I talked to a guy wo is driving an s2000 aswell. He is using it on the track and i have asked him how reliable the clutch and the engine is. Esoecially because he was on the clutch hard. And he said its still all stock and works fine. Are they really so good? I mean i absolutely love the driving characteristics of this car no doubt about that.

[@o_OS2000]

+ICEMANZIDANE Yep. And yes the car is extremely reliable. I replaced my clutch at around 80-90k miles of pretty hard driving with a Spoon pressure plate and OEM AP2 disk and it is fantastic. One the most fun to drive and easy to maintain sports cars ever built.

[@Maxboost51]

Love the videos and have been subscribed for some time. Question what shutter speed are you using? I know you are shooting 50fps and was just curious. Keep up the great job!

[@o_OS2000]

usually not messing with the shutter speed. At 50fps you wouldn't get much motion blur even at 1/50th.

[@Maxboost51]

thanks for your response!! do you have to use any stabilization stuff in post? My POV forage always seems so shaky. More than I would like.

[@Hakuna_My_Tatas]

What hardtop is installed on your ap2? Any windnoise at high speeds? Any creaking/rattling over bumps? Thanks!

[@nickwisntcool]

What do you do to make normal gopro footage look that good? Color correction? DOF?

[@o_OS2000]

This footage is from Hero4 cameras. The Hero4 looks much better for night footage than all my older GoPros, so just minor color correction was done.

[@nickwisntcool]

+o_O S2000 Thanks. What did you do with the Hero 3s if you don't mind me asking.

[@hovnojede010101]

Yo, finally. I've watched your vids many times. What frame rate you record at? When I record with my phone, it looks like I'm going as fast as a snail.

[@o_OS2000]

+Tomáš T. After a lot of testing I found that I prefer shooting at 50fps on the GoPros. For some reason 60 feels weird to me but 50 is good and does a good job being more immersive and capturing the real sense of speed. Doing a POV view rather than mounted to the car helps a lot too as you can see in this video. POV view feels much faster than the fixed view. Field of view is also important, too wide and the actual road in front of the car is so small in frame it doesn't really work, and too narrow (zoomed in) and it is really disorienting.

[@hovnojede010101]

***** Thanks, man, appreciate it. I'm looking to buy my first GoPro incl. an external mic (or a Sony action cam - heard those are good, too) to use it for the same things as you. Keep it up! P.S: I envy your road network. Yeah, you can't really overtake there due to the yellow lines, but god damnit aren't those twisty canyon roads awesome!

[@o_OS2000]

+Tomáš T. I just got a GoPro Hero4 and Hero 4 Session. They are MUCH better at accurately representing color at night. I used to have to do a lot more color correction to get accurate colors in my videos with the Hero3, with the Hero4s it is much much nicer right out of the camera.

[@hovnojede010101]

***** Good to hear. I'll see if I can stretch my budget - the 4's are kinda pricey. I guess you use an external microphone, right?
