S2000 Full Toda Exhaust, HardRace, & Cusco Unboxing

[@Mr.SparkleOG]

Short story. Years ago my wife would give me heck for sitting here watching this guy detail a car to perfection on videos and forums. Called me crazy! Even stating that I was mental. Months later she folded like a lawn chair and now here we are watching your videos together. I guess we both are mental now. We love your videos!!!

[@ObsessedGarage]

That is so insane to me man. I can't believe it.

[@dgsams]

Still after all this time i still come back and watch your s2000 vids.... REALLY wish you woudla kept it all and see where the final total of power, sound and looks turned out..... Stiil is one of MY favorite S2000s tho!! U did a wonderful job and picking out all the parts IMO... ESP on the supercharger!! Basically my dream s2000 haha..... All ur car stuff is great and alway enjoy youtaking time to give ur honest thoughts ideas and opinions weather it be on a car you own or detailing products!! Once im outta this hospital again and able to detail my S2K ill be ordering something new stuff, so keep it up!! DG

[@charlesandjulien]

I love watching proper and organized builds. For people with an obsession with detail and organization, your channel is a blessing.

[@cameroncarter2149]

Dude. Dude... This thing is gonna be dialed! Doing it right, can't wait

[@PQR5CHE]

That's gonna be one hell of a S2000!

[@sdlausen1]

I absolutely love this channel and your S2000 series! I can't wait for some driving impressions once everything is done.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks!

[@pettern96]

0:28 Matts version of "overnight parts from Japan"

[@trapcracker]

Who else can't help but stare at Matt's detailing collection in the background?

[@604Basshead]

Matt the type of guy to clay bar his brake calipers

[@ObsessedGarage]

Absolutely have done that.

[@aidanevo]

604Basshead I'd do the same no lie haha

[@SumnerKidd]

probably clays the undercoating too.

[@nls8520]

What a beautifully crafted exhaust. I have a bit of a love for those JDM parts AMUSE, TODA etc. Nicely done.

[@ET-ub4mf]

I am loving this build!! I have always been a fan of the S2000's. Love watching the "S2000 Touge" video from Japan, too. They just kill the mountain roads!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks man! The S2000 is going to be pretty awesome I think.

[@MikeyFFA500]

Sweeeeeet! Can't wait for the typical OG before and after exhaust videos :D

[@ObsessedGarage]

I don't think I'm going to do a before. The car makes virtually no noise stock. But I'll definitely do afters.

[@michaelmakdissi]

im sooooo excited to see this build come along

[@TheCTM124]

i love and cant get enough of your honesty on this channel

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks Clive.

[@Popularities_]

can't wait for the installment and sound.

[@kingevanek]

One of the most tastefully done s2k's I have ever seen.

[@JohnnyKoch]

"I bet he got more then a 100 grand under the hood of that car"

[@joelm4552]

More than you can afford pal, Honda

[@ashishpatel350]

Johnny Koch you mean the candy bar? Lol

[@ScottPC]

Johnny Koch where's Jessy going?

[@JohnnyKoch]

ThatGuyNamedScott. C car wash.

[@jayisGay209]

Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried.

[@rcobsesssed]

This is going to be an amazing build. I'm envious of your budget, you're a fortunate man!

[@dennisevertse6726]

That side mounted resonator is called a helmholtz chamber.

[@skyec8324]

That header back TODA setup is amazing. So good!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm psyched about it!

[@khaho1144]

I'm glad you're testing out this combination of parts on your s2000 so the s2k community can get some valid info back. Despite all the talk about no power being made with mods on s2000's I ended up making the most power out of any n/a s2ks I know by a long shot just to prove to the community they are wrong or misinformed Mods -custom 3.5 inch cold air intake -BC stage 2 cams -Ballade Header(best mod out of the list surprisingly) -70mm test pipe -Berk 3 inch exhaust with a vibrant resonator -Flashpro and tuned by Gernby Most s2000s I race I end up beating them by 3-4 cars going through a gear and a half

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'll have the Kraftwerks and AEM standalone, so I'll never really know what the exhaust does.

[@duweydang]

Just beautiful! Your car will be a beast from the start!

[@rogerserafin]

Doing it proper the Obsessed Garage way. Can't wait to see everything get dialed in on the S2000.

[@ethan12313]

I'm liking this s2000 series, all of the videos are very detailed ( obviously all of them are). Good work. looking forward to seeing this car rip. should be excellent.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks!

[@stancedg3795]

This kinda like a race of the project cars between you and adam so glad you got a project car

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'll win. Ha, ha...

[@cus-specdetailing4466]

I want this life haha

[@alexmoran731]

CUS-SPEC Me too.😉

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm telling you guys I'm not taking any of this for granted. Super thankful

[@robertmontgomery6331]

I absolutely love this series!

[@Hyperbole_Will_Destroy_Us_All]

Can't wait to see the next video. Wanted an S2000 years ago but went semi practical and bought a civic. Then proceeded to make it a lot less practical, but at least it was kinda fast.

[@burt24pop]

Boxes of new parts is the best thing to come home too. Can't wait for June 19th!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Agreed! Nothing like tracking stuff that's on the way.

[@akashpatel8020]

Along with the ohlins, i cant wait to hear the exhaust! Plus hear your feedback on your sways and how the overall car feels afterwards. Listened to your latest podcast, I like your idea of a HQ with your wealth management offices at the HQ! Hope you do that!

[@ayowser01]

Nice parts. I also noticed when I attempted to do some research on the Toda exhaust that there wasn't much info about it. Toda makes great racing products. You can't go wrong with any Toda part.

[@gabea.458]

"Good think Michelle's not out here to see all this", LOL. Maybe you should have them ship the stuff to the install shop. Fun fact, that type of resonator is called a Helmholtz resonator.

[@jazzzyj7589]

Also FYI, if you touched it with bare hands, at least, if not all, wipe the header down with acetone before you start your car unless you want finger prints ghosted into your stainless

[@GeeexPerez]

I would just need a small loan of a million dollars to do all this .... great video matt loving the mods

[@sourgrapes3178]

cool cant wait to see the supercharger install

[@dddddd-dr4zm]

a whole 17minutes of him opening a box. great content

[@MOONGOONJOON]

Toda means everything or all in português... I know because I live in Brazil. Congrats man

[@jmking7]

Glad you stuck with the dual exhaust setup. Any guys end up doing a single exhaust but with an ap2 it's harder cause there aren't as many options to cover up the hole.

[@uhBlakely]

This car is going to be nuuuuuttty. I can't wait.

[@Rosten]

have you thought about getting a spoon rigid collar kit? just seems reasonable since youre doing the whole suspension overhaul.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's on the list. I may do that on round two.

[@martinl6496]

Great choice, did you ever consider the dolphin tip?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I didn't.

[@scuph]

anyway you can show us your old hondas?

[@ObsessedGarage]

goo.gl/photos/rwNq1CkwksM3t8AC6

[@MultiTerpen]

Looks great! Are you going to change it yourself? Also any update on the garage?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'll probably will put it on myself, but may wait to get the car on a lift.

[@MultiTerpen]

Borrow adams lift ;)

[@musclemuscle7645]

are you going to put a wing on it and what brand is it going to be? Also some new rims?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I most likely won't do a wing, but I will be doing Volk CE-28N.

[@joeykhoury7491]

Damn even Matts knife is dialed in

[@Balo657]

Don't forget to change the brake and clutch fluid.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'll wait on the brakes until I figure out what I'm going to do with them. Putting a Clutchmaster clutch in with the supercharger.

[@mikeyman12343]

sweet looking exhaust 👌

[@Ihaveadashcam]

Your s2000 is very beautiful i love the s2000 i loved it since i was a little kid.And does your s2000 have side airbags.

[@Jaylom]

I got my KW package done by John at LHT. Definitely worth it. I've had it for close to one year and still makes me happy when I jump in and drive. One tip I tell others with this package is to do periodic checks/adjustments on the supercharger belt, as tension will change over time. I'm sure you'll be running the new 30mm belt/pulleys (I'm still running 20mm) which fixes some of issues the older generations have. Feel free to join the kraftwerks s2000 page on FB! Good luck and enjoy! -James

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'll check it out.

[@awong160]

epic parts haul!

[@AznfoboiXO]

have you considered doing Spoon Rigid Collars?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm not sure I'm going to take it that far. I've also consider bushings, but I think I want to retain the comfort.

[@bumplin9220]

try powerflex cushions

[@FreshLaces]

If subscribers live near St.Pete/Tampa, can we come out for the S2K supercharger install at LHT? It would be a cool meet and greet/get together

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm down.

[@FreshLaces]

Obsessed Garage Sweet! I'm in the OG FB group, maybe make an announcement about it in there. The more the merrier!

[@Ihaveadashcam]

When will you do install

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm heading to the Carolina Mountains on this weekend, so it will be the following.

[@morepow-wah2124]

Your living the dream man.......gotta be nice to be a real car guy and have the available funds to pay for all the parts and upgrades necessary​ after just buying a GT350 and Raptor while having a GT3 sitting in a bubble. Lol. S2000 is going to be a beast! Keep up the great YT channel man!! Hope I don't run into the Honda at a street light.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's going to be interesting to see how it performs. I'm going to eventually line up my 3 cars and see which wins.

[@morepow-wah2124]

Obsessed Garage Lol. Nice!

[@matthewramirez4670]

I was expecting you to go with the buddy club spec ll exhaust

[@ObsessedGarage]

I value my ear drums. Ha, ha...

[@scottohms2799]

The moment we have been waiting for, the LHT Performance overhaul video, giving John the spare no expense option ?

[@ObsessedGarage]

We are going to do it right.

[@andreask664]

Hey! Congrats for all these work over the years!! I'd like to ask you, for the fumes with this exhaust set up. I have exactly the same set up (natural aspirate) and I have a lot of fumes. Did you have notice the same?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I find it's not too bad, but my car was really low mileage.

[@andreask664]

@Obsessed Garage thanks! Mine has a lot kilometers on it. I just want to know if it has the same issue due to the test pipe. Keep up 😉

[@PischkePerformance]

How do you buy a full Toda exhaust and not put it on right then and there?!? I will never have that kind of patience haha

[@ObsessedGarage]

Believe me, I thought about it. But I was halfway through a project on the GT350.

[@subarufreakdd]

when will the install videos begin??? time to install some parts Matt. you took off the bumper, could have replace the H honda logo ;-) :-)

[@ObsessedGarage]

In about 2 weeks.

[@MrFreakofnature999]

Every time I finish watching s2k videos I go on Craigslist and hope I could afford one ... I can't ... yet

[@_israelpizana]

When are the CE28N's coming in? Thats been by far my favorite wheel since i got into cars. never had a car worthy of such set of wheels. yet. lol

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm going to put the supercharger on to see how the car feels on 255s before I decide what size wheels/tires to do.

[@iTroIIin]

Good to see you paying a bit extra and supporting a well known company. Not many people would spend 3k on a full exhaust. You should add a flex pipe on the header though. Know a few people thats cracked their headers because no flex pipe

[@Ihaveadashcam]

Will you do Red JDM emblems and any carbon fiber parts

[@ObsessedGarage]

I bought some emblems. I'm not sure I'm going to put them on.

[@jazzzyj7589]

Do you want Todas the link to their installation manual for it?

[@BWH555]

Hey Matt could you tell me if the resonator in the middle that's supported by the bracket feels like it's hollow or if it's filled with packing? you should be able to tell from the weight.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think it has packing.

[@BrettC1973]

Christmas in June!

[@secrethandlehuhu]

i have an odd fascination with titanium tips.

[@ALANatWork]

Nice Sebenza! It looks like a small, but is it a unique graphic too? Very nice either way...

[@ALANatWork]

Nvm bud, looks like a large CF insingo.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yep, www.knifeart.com/largecarbon.html

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

hey Matt, how much roughly was all of this, I'm thinking of getting the same exhaust system as you.

[@TheBloodyRavage]

3400$ for everything he said it at 6:08

[@Balo657]

Yan Sagz you can almost buy a supercharger kit lol

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

Balo657 yup I know lol but he says those are parts he's always wanted.

[@sunsinpak7604]

did the headers come with manifold gasket or did you have to get a new oem one?

[@ObsessedGarage]

They did not. I think we reused OEM.

[@hectorrios5402]

Hi I have a question on your show case car cover. Now that you have had it for a few months how do you like the product? I'm considering this product and wold like your feed back Thanks!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I like it. It's a bit annoying at times to get in and out of having to zip and unzip. The zipper can be a bit delicate, but otherwise, it's very cool to have.

[@gjodexter]

Ounce you supercharger it the header will make a big difference. If you cant buy what you want its pointless to mod it with what you don't want. Great video, I need pointers with mine. lol

[@nickemangione]

Wouldn't a larger front sway bar cause more understeer?

[@Roct3874]

Nicholas Mangione S2000s are super tail happy and you pretty much always only upgrade the front sway bar to make the car neutral. You do the rear if your into autox.

[@nickemangione]

Andrew Petee gotcha. I thought the ap2 was much more tame

[@TenBuckTraveler]

There is a company that now makes a softer, adjustable rear sway bar for the s2k. From what I hear, it's the bees knees for track cars

[@ayowser01]

he's probably going with a square tire setup and different spring rates on the suspension.

[@sakurakos88]

That exaust looks sick. Is this the same one you bought? 18000-AP1-702 Honda - S2000 - AP1/AP2 - F20C/F22C - 70mm diameter High Power Muffler System Ver.2 with Resonator for TODA 2.35/2.4L KIT

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's it.

[@sakurakos88]

Obsessed Garage thanks! I love your channel!

[@robindoreandrews]

Why not the Torque-Kun Header?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I won't need it with the Supercharger.

[@A3rox]

Hey Matt! Sorry I might have missed the info, but I was wondering what's the idea behind your S2000 project? Is it gonna be a full track car? A track day car? or just a sick street car? Whatever it is I love it, can't wait to see more of it! :)

[@ObsessedGarage]

Just a street car with all the parts I've always wanted.

[@zebarias]

Cool. It's going to be awesome ;)

[@VQHRZ]

Where did you get your shelving from?

[@ObsessedGarage]

www.stainlesssupply.com/stainless-kitchen-products/docs/stainless-fixed-shelving.php I have T304 version. 8" x 32"

[@VQHRZ]

Obsessed Garage thanks!

[@Dougie085]

It's kind of being picky I know, but for what that exhaust cost you sure wish they could use some nice v-band clamps or something instead of the bolt on ones lol.

[@BrettC1973]

Who makes the shelves you have there?

[@ObsessedGarage]

www.stainlesssupply.com/stainless-kitchen-products/docs/stainless-fixed-shelving.php

[@nathan9290]

Matt when you get your tune done go to Evans tuning he is the top tuner in the east coast and specifically for hondas. He's the best in the business on our side of the country

[@ledward95]

Why supercharger and not turbo? If we can know

[@604Basshead]

Ledward Blanco because it's a s2000 and not a supra

[@ObsessedGarage]

I generally don't like turbo'd cars. Lag and odd power delivery. I prefer linearity.

[@mathewkwan]

You missed the Front Lower Arm bar which works with the ladder bars. The entire brace kit actually stiffened up the car a considerable amount. Cusco: Cusco Front Lower Arm Bar TYPE II - Honda S2000 00+ Code: CUS-380-477-A

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's on my list. Evasive didn't have it in stock. I'll get it later.

[@VodareGaming]

If you look at 11:46 on his side is a dead pixel (and in the same spot the entire video) rip camera

[@ObsessedGarage]

Is it back? I had it on one other video and it hadn't come back. I guess I need to get another one.

[@VodareGaming]

Its been in alot of videos, just have never posted about it

[@robroberts1473]

I always save these boxes because I inevitably sell this carp. Matt obsessed garage. so is that after Michelle sees this vid? lol

[@robroberts1473]

crap damn spellchecker.

[@chandlerbraaten847]

rob roberts no, that's for when he gets bored and moves on to the next project. haha.

[@Balo657]

I'm pretty sure when the oil spilled on the the civic si header, obsessed garage was born.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... I wan't quite as afflicted back then.

[@GoPDemon1]

I'm not sure about USA, but a lot of race rules in Canada need like a minimum 1" diameter roll bar and the cusco don't meet that sec IIRC.

[@mikeburr114]

Gabriel Mak He does this race...

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's not the roll-bar. It's an underbody subframe brace.

[@nicj15]

Hi I'm kinda of new to this channel but I'm just kinda wondering how Matt can afford all of this stuff. I means he has kids, nice house and like 250 grand in cars, like what does he do for a living

[@mikeburr114]

Nicholas Jacobs Financial Advisor. There are many videos addressing this.

[@robertsestito6821]

Nicholas Jacobs sell coke

[@comgeturs]

Business owner.Investor. KZbin.

[@bluelude2001]

He's a professional hit man for hire. Business is good in Flordia.

[@litoaz]

Stripper

[@RajK-e3n]

Matt is going all out. Very impressive.

[@MrXboxgamer13]

Check out ICB Motorsport for Honda parts and others like spoon. Also if your looking for Mugen parts check out King Motorsports for all Mugen parts

[@alexmoran731]

Awesome 👍🏽👍🏽

[@teop.9959]

lets just hope that this will be done only once or twice not like his porsche

[@ObsessedGarage]

Tell me about it...

[@kjwong4730]

Hey man in one of your other videos I noticed you said you were located in the villages, We should meet up sometime, I'm located in the villages as well, I'll bring my s2000 :)

[@ObsessedGarage]

Come on over!

[@lewishunter6252]

haven't even seen the thing drive yet and already the supercharger is being planned and there's a load of mods just sitting there ready😂😂😂

[@ObsessedGarage]

I've only driven about a hundred miles in it. But I've had 2 in the past.

[@L0verB0y9292]

Cool

[@clinehearty4917]

Do u have a p.o. Box? I would like to send you something

[@ObsessedGarage]

I do not.

[@jazzzyj7589]

Have to translate it but it's nbd

[@enricotorres8189]

He on xgames mode

[@jamborossrs]

So stoked for this project. But man I dislike the colour of the car. I suppose if anyone can make it pop it's Matt. But I just find it so dull.

[@juliantorres1512]

Ross Stenhouse he's going to change it, not sure if he's going to wrap or paint.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Won't be a wrap. I don't do wraps.
