    Our cars have come a hell of a long way since we first started working on them! They're completely different now!

      What’s especially cool is our cars have progressed at the same rate and we are always competitive at the track!

    I have an 04, sweet spot because of the F22 and other upgrades w the ap2 but it’s still as raw as an ap1, because traction control and drive by wire weren’t introduced until 06

    • @FosterJohnsonMedia
      @FosterJohnsonMedia  2 роки тому

      I’ve always wondered what the F22 feels like in comparison. Are you able to tune it easily? That is one thing I wanted to do but I guess you can’t lower the Vtec on the AP1s without an aftermarket ECU

    Awesome car dude! And great video too. I like how you had a short intro, immediately rolled right into the car and then showed us what work you are doing to it.
    I’ve come across videos that were 10 minutes of nonsense before they even talk about the car. Keep the good videos coming.

    Where did you get the spray paint for the valve cover? I like that color a lot so I would like to know 😃

    • @FosterJohnsonMedia
      @FosterJohnsonMedia  2 роки тому +1

      It was powdercoated “pika blue”. Spray paint would be easier but it wouldn’t look as good

    Love the build. Any reason why you didn't add roll center adjustment in the rear too? Did you need to add spacers to the wheels to fit the BBK, or does that spec work with the calipers?

    • @FosterJohnsonMedia
      @FosterJohnsonMedia  2 роки тому +1

      That means a lot, thanks! only reason why I didn’t do rear RCAs is because it requires a press to install them and I was lazy. also a lot of guys don’t run them so I’m not sure if it’s 100% necessary

    Is the oil filter stopper actually effective? My car caught on fire one year at the track. Luckily, fire extinguisher saved it in time from being a total loss. Wiring Harness, solenoid and fuse box cover were burned.

    • @FosterJohnsonMedia
      @FosterJohnsonMedia  2 роки тому +1

      Oh yeah the filter stopper makes a huge difference! My car caught on fire for similar reasons - the filter back itself off and got oil on the headers. This season I have use the filter stopper and I haven’t had any issues

    Don't you find the steering wheel too far away? You can get a spacer for it.

    • @FosterJohnsonMedia
      @FosterJohnsonMedia  2 роки тому

      I’m used to driving with my steering wheel a bit further away so it’s not too bad. However I do think a quick release setup could be nice for getting in and out of the car and I wouldn’t mind having the wheel a touch closer. Right now my elbows are just barely bent

    Beautiful car. But, how often are u gonna go over 130 mph for that wing has effect. It kills the car. 5 secs a lap, who cares. No prize money, right. Always keep it simple. People laugh at that thing

    • @FosterJohnsonMedia
      @FosterJohnsonMedia  2 роки тому +5

      Without the rear wing the s2000 creates lift, since this car is at the track 99% of the time the mods I decided to do were all about lap times. Looks comes second to performance. Plus I think it looks pretty cool myself but looks are subjective
