[@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 :)

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

OCD was going nuts over the RS3s mounted on the wrong side ;-)

[@krazykorean42069]

So much room for activities!

[@walt350z]

SA apron is so legit, good episode guys. The wide body kit looks really clean and the trim makes it look classy 👌🏾

[@speedacademy]

+walt350z Thanks!

[@navdrum001]

So happy when I see a new episode is available. Keep up the good work! FYI: I'm putting an F20c into a mk2 escort and your throttle body DIY proved very useful. Thanks.

[@speedacademydave]

+navdrum001 awesome! We'd love to see some pics of your F20c Escort. Hit us up on Facebook if you get a chance. Wish we got the cool RWD Escorts here in North America.

[@navdrum001]

Absolutely, I'll find you on FB this eve.

[@CrossWindsPat]

[@STEELERS743]

More s2k! Series is so good

[@jdmfreak22]

Ken rocks and he is hilarious!!!

[@alexsierra8521]

love you guys friendship and fun videos. great job guys

[@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.

[@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 !!

[@royceromo6879]

Ken is a crack up love the dance moves too!

[@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

[@MrRubbish05]

Bout time!! My fav channel

[@Jamesashleycoyle]

wish you guys did more content. its great and always humerus!

[@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!

[@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!

[@SDBoards55]

lol, that step brothers reference though 😂

[@sweatyboizz5982]

finally after 2 months

[@onyxmotorsports4755]

she's looking good!!

[@jdmDC2ftw]

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

[@OOHkev]

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

[@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).

[@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

[@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!

[@Kim2770]

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

[@victoroliveira3256]

Yeah baby

[@IainB]

Jesus, all that dust. It must be everywhere!

[@speedacademy]

+Iain B The downside to having a storage unit as shop space :(

[@nelson8708yahoo]

Awesome video as usual, need jack stands though.

[@burrowssj]

Just found your fender vids, nice work. Gives me insight into doing this on my wrx. Cheers! Liked and subbed

[@infamousjdp]

Awesome!!!

[@TassieLorenzo]

The girls must like Ken - he saves lives and yet so handsome and humble. :P

[@speedacademy]

+TassieLorenzo the ladies do love him, but he's too busy building his FD to notice ;) Plus he has an amazing g/f, so no need to shop around.

[@Goathierbmw]

Awesome series :D

[@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.

[@BlacklistBuilds]

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

[@rustynutzz3504]

Looking Bad Ass.

[@griseldarodriguez3961]

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

[@nicomuchuelas]

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

[@speedacademydave]

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

[@PhamVans]

Oh shit son, I see Ontario plates :>

[@TheBiscuitFactory]

4:36 exactly I how feel with Ken after I found this channel

[@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...

[@raheendemarest5655]

what bolts did you use to fasten the fenders?

[@JZXKenny]

Love the build, NO corner cutting.

[@cepsixty9]

awesome

[@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.

[@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?

[@UndergroundTrev]

Ken's head looked like it was under the car to me... chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!!!

[@speedacademy]

+UndergroundTrev Ken's head so big, it's always under something.

[@UndergroundTrev]

+Speed Academy haaaaahahahaha, that'd messed up

[@deweberis6656]

Forgot something in Texas Pete?

[@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.

[@binodmenahihu8104]

You guys are cool... I just subbed

[@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.

[@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

[@li_auto8028]

Could you do a video of washing the cars?

[@speedacademy]

+li_auto in bikinis?

[@li_auto8028]

+Speed Academy what else?! 😳😂

[@speedacademy]

Dave in a one-piece, Pete in a thong. Done deal.

[@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

[@eurotrashdtm]

Ken is comedy, nice and thick lol

[@alexisculp5081]

So good! Soooo funny! :)

[@onestrangeone2499]

he's not going under the car he's just sticking his head under it lol

[@speedacademy]

+One strange one we said no chirping! lol

[@onestrangeone2499]

+Speed Academy I know I was just joshing keep up the good work

[@ragef1225]

do the doors open ok with that extra rubber lip?

[@denis_vr6]

badass2000

[@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 ;)

[@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

[@dans5595]

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

[@albertouhia]

hi guys! I guess, the 2 front wheels are placed reversed. pilot at copilot and vice versa. Because the relief does not fit me, with the rear wheels, which are correct

[@speedacademy]

+Alberto Uhia Piñeiro yup, we put them on the wrong side. Pete noticed right away lol

[@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 ;)

[@elrondmcbong467]

Is there a Reason why the Fronttires ar Mounted backwards?

[@issjakers]

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

[@ElementalMapping]

Goals

[@Shadowband72]

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

[@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.
