As a person who pushes their s2000 to the limits, the Indy Firehawk 500 is absolutely a trash tire and wouldn't run it on the street. Its falsely labeled as a "performance summer tire" blah blah but breaks loose WAY too easy Invest in a real tire like a Micheline Ps4 for the street
I was so bummed when I scratched the bottom side of my 20th anniversary bumper last week . I couldent imagine how you felt. Glad you are back in the road! Keep on with your s2k it’s beautiful and worth it !
Wow… def didn’t expect this. Been following since your first video and bought my s2k about halfway through your journey. Glad to hear it’s getting fixed and can’t wait to see the rest of the journey.
As an S2000 owner and someone inspired by your build I feel your pain. But, thank god you are safe. At the end of the day it is just a car, and with repair it will look like new again. I agree it could have been worse!
I feel for you I had a very similar experience in my s years back. Hate driving the s in the rain it’s constantly trying to kill you lol. Ended up DIYing a quarter panel and adding custom molded metal over fenders. Came out great most of the time people don’t even realize the car is an inch and a half wider. But I wouldn’t recommend that in your situation that panel looks save able from what I can see. You could spend some time pulling out those dents with suction and you can get at it from the back. Then just a little filler to correct the waves and good as new. Good luck. make the best of it.
1) you can fix that. 2) glad you are safe 3) i don't know if i would have had the courage to tape and post / share with the internet 4) these cars take a high level of awareness to drive in the rain. 5) you can replace cars not people.
When I purchased my first S2000, a silver AP1 back in the day I was in a similar near-wreck situation from driving in the rain ;( This stuff sneaks up on you but glad you're ok Z! I have learned recently that life is short and worth living haha stoked for whats next ❣
My ap1 experiance. 1st year. I rekt my motor. 2nd year i broke my breaks. 3rd year i broke my breaks again. 4th year I bought an NSX NA1. 5th year I broke the transmission. Now I have no money for a replacement trans because i spent everything modding the NSX. Hopefully i can get my s2k running again in August/September. Never stop repairing the s2000. It is worth it!
besides my tires not being the best and being on particular slick portion of the road.. i believe i lifted off mid turn and the weight shifted to the front of the car causing the rear to lose traction. i cant say for sure but im pretty sure thats what happened.
I've been there man. I spun my silverstone AP2 off the road and flipped it. Had it for 14 years with the same mugen exhaust as you for most of that time. Important thing is that you're OK. It's just a car and it can always be replaced. Hope you get back on the road soon. Edit: I also had a shine replica ASM bumper. You're gonna love it!
Nooo dude. I feel so bad for you. I'm glad you are having a positive attitude. This is one of my biggest fears, but at the same time If it happens it lets you truly enjoy the car and potentially do things that you wouldn't have done in a pristine car with no accidents
S200s in the rain are tricky even for good drivers. Glad to hear you're fixing it up! Hopefully I'll see you around on track getting faster this year 👊🤘
Man. You almost got me with giving up on the s2000! Glad you got it sorted, im sure a great body shop will make it mint! Stay positive, looking forward to more content.
DUUUUUDE!!! You got me!! 😂😂😂 For a second there, I really thought you were about to cry on camera SMH So glad you’re building back up my favorite Honda ever! 💪
Rain is fun drifto time on familiar roads. But any speed above 50mph becomes sketchy on a freeway. Any unknown twisties are scary unless you are in a total focus mode
Glad you’re ok and time to improve. For upgraded suspension I would check out ikeya formula from Japan, absolutely amazing components to make the car handle safer and better
Hey man glad you're okay sorry for the car. I know how you felt, my Ap1 it snapped on me once aswell oversteered, understeered & oversteered again. I ended on the wrong side and a double decker bus came to me and I dodged very close without damage 😅
Me personally I wouldn't go to "The Shop "in San Bruno, I had bad experienced dealing with them when they installed coilovers on my S2000 before. There's better choices in the Bay Area for suspension work.
Im glad you’re okay bro. It sucks and I feel your pain, but parts are always replaceable. You are not. The car will be back better than ever. Excuses to upgrade ❤
I’m glad you were able to get your car repaired. However your forged wheels transferred all the force of the impact into the rare/expensive suspension components and damaged them. Can’t defeat physics and that force has to go somewhere. I’d rather sacrifice $200 cast wheels in a collision to save my suspension and chassis alignment.
Oh crap I'm sorry glad you didn't let it get you down too much. You wanna learn car control at limits you should do rally school. That and growing up in snow followed by drifting I'm wizard with max confidence
Formula S is the real deal. Glad you went to them for everything.
the absolute best!
Glad to see that youre safe and being as positive as possible!!
cant help it. im a delusional optimist 😂
4:38 got me .glad u r safe ,those Mugen wheels🔥though
thank you!
dude noooo - car was perfect. good luck with your build man!!!
thank you!
I liked the video not because of what happened to the s2000 but to support you and hopefully UA-cam recommends it to more s2000 owners as well.

Invest in a real tire like a Micheline Ps4 for the street
💯% facts. Never again lol
So glad you’re safe & alive!!!! 👍🏼🙌🏼
If the paint is not damaged on the quarter panel, look into PDR to remove the damage
My thoughts exactly!
glad your ok and the shop did great, cant wait to see you get faster
thanks bro!
I was so bummed when I scratched the bottom side of my 20th anniversary bumper last week . I couldent imagine how you felt. Glad you are back in the road! Keep on with your s2k it’s beautiful and worth it !
haha yeah this felt like i ripped on the bandage on what to do with it next
Wow… def didn’t expect this. Been following since your first video and bought my s2k about halfway through your journey. Glad to hear it’s getting fixed and can’t wait to see the rest of the journey.
This made me very happy to read. Car is coming back much better!!
The Honda S2000 is one of the top 10 best automobiles ever made,so (
YES) Absolutely worth fixing it.
As an S2000 owner and someone inspired by your build I feel your pain. But, thank god you are safe. At the end of the day it is just a car, and with repair it will look like new again. I agree it could have been worse!
Some wise words man. He's okay and not in the hospital.
Matt! Love The Shop SB! Stand up guys at that shop and they've been around the business for a while!
Time to track the car!
Thank God you're not hurt - it sucks to see another S take a beating but material possessions can be fixed/replaced. All the best in restoring it.
Good attitude man. Keep building, keep improving that driver mod.
Get to a skidpad, go to some AX events, get back out there!
hahaha damn i shoulda learned for your oversteer videos 😂
@@zaahidrahman we can both agree it’s a tricky car in the rain :)

haha your build sounds epic. thank you
On my old s I paid around 500 for a new panel from the dealer
Glad you were able to save it!
Nooo I am so sorry bro. It was the cleanest possible S2k but you’ll come back and get something better
Glad you are SAFE
ty!
I was pretty bummed to see another silverstone s2000 crashed, the thumbnail looked like mine. Glad you got it fixed, and be careful in the rain!
lesson learned for sure 🥲
1) you can fix that. 2) glad you are safe 3) i don't know if i would have had the courage to tape and post / share with the internet 4) these cars take a high level of awareness to drive in the rain. 5) you can replace cars not people.
100% agree!! thanks man!

thank you, bro! see you in socal sometime soon!
Been there brother. You will rebuild. And you will come back better.
Dang, hate to hear/see that. Glad you’re going to keep at it.

What happened to your brakes?
@@jwrx7tt01 1 time breakline caught on something. The other was severe overheating, warped rotors.
i aint eva gonna stop!!!
It's all about how we bounce back.
Just curious how did the snap oversteer happen? What could you have done to avoid it? Just drive slower and don't accelerate out of a turn maybe..
besides my tires not being the best and being on particular slick portion of the road.. i believe i lifted off mid turn and the weight shifted to the front of the car causing the rear to lose traction. i cant say for sure but im pretty sure thats what happened.
Driving slower is a solution in the rain and braking as little as possible. But that is not as exhilarating.
So sorry man, glad to see you’ve started fixing it. At least you can feel less bothered about modifying and beating on it in the future! 😂
wide body incoming 😂😂
I've been there man. I spun my silverstone AP2 off the road and flipped it. Had it for 14 years with the same mugen exhaust as you for most of that time. Important thing is that you're OK. It's just a car and it can always be replaced. Hope you get back on the road soon. Edit: I also had a shine replica ASM bumper. You're gonna love it!
flipped it hold hell thats scary, did you not have a soft top on it. With mine I think Id be dead with the softtop (im sorta tall)
thank you! you are totally right. im fine, cars fine and things couldve been way worse. did you get into another s2000 after your crash?
Formula S is legit! Glad the S2000 is driving straight again.
the best, i dont know if anyone comes close on the west coast
Nooo dude. I feel so bad for you. I'm glad you are having a positive attitude.
This is one of my biggest fears, but at the same time If it happens it lets you truly enjoy the car and potentially do things that you wouldn't have done in a pristine car with no accidents
totally agree!
I owned a S2k for 10years. If I could avoid it I would not drive it in the rain. So many get wrecked from hydroplaning. Sucks man
learning lesson for sure
S200s in the rain are tricky even for good drivers. Glad to hear you're fixing it up! Hopefully I'll see you around on track getting faster this year 👊🤘
LUCAS, we're coming back to the track soon! I'm bring friends this time! Ima hit you up soon
Hell yeah
excited to see you get back on ur feet!
Damn, it will be even better now after repair 👍🏼
Spoon rear over fenders time???
hahaha 👀
How much for the hardtop?
tree fiddy
Very sad to see that happened, but I'm glad you're okay Zaahid, and it could've been worse. The come back will be stronger!
thank you, brother
Try a PDR guy first for the rear quarter panel!
definitely going to try that route first. thanks, bro
My jaw dropped when I saw this in my feed! Glad you're okay. Glad the car is okay too - could have been much worse!
thanks, man - we're all good here. just a broken heart 😂
Damn bro sorry about your car I enjoyed watching you build your s2000 with quality parts!
more quality parts coming soon 👀
Spoon bumper
something is coming thats for sure 👀
California Auto Body Repair in South SF will be able to help with the body work. Ask for Alex
thank you!
Glad you okay! Look forward to what is coming next!
thanks, man!
Man. You almost got me with giving up on the s2000! Glad you got it sorted, im sure a great body shop will make it mint! Stay positive, looking forward to more content.
hahaha thanks man, i appreciate it!
DUUUUUDE!!! You got me!! 😂😂😂
For a second there, I really thought you were about to cry on camera SMH
So glad you’re building back up my favorite Honda ever! 💪
lmao 😂 - thanks bro we're coming back better 💪
Post more videos! Love it bro
🫡
I also crashed in a week in my 05
😭😭😭
I've always preached that s2000's don't do well in the rain. At least mine never did.
Rain is fun drifto time on familiar roads.
But any speed above 50mph becomes sketchy on a freeway. Any unknown twisties are scary unless you are in a total focus mode
rip bro, a lot of work done to it too. Before watching the vid I'm sure it's fixable and you'll rebuild it np
haha youre on point
Paintless dent removal will get those dents out
reached out to couple guys and they all said the pushed in corner by the taillight may not be repairable with PDR :(
A little PDR and you’re good.
Glad you’re ok and time to improve. For upgraded suspension I would check out ikeya formula from Japan, absolutely amazing components to make the car handle safer and better
so nice! the gold would go well with the ohlins lmfao

Almaden collision in SJ
Asm rear overfender time😊
👀👀👀
That's Lucas Valley. It's a great driving road. I took my S2000 out there yesterday. I am sorry to here you crashed such a clean car.
thank you and yes, in better conditions i imagine it's an amazing road. can't wait to go back
part out?
nah lol. if anything i need parts 😂
Formula S!!!
🐐🐐🐐

thats a good point haha.
Stuff happens bro. Big thing will happen because of it. Life. Great channel by the way.
thank you!
No Zaahid. No. All RWD cars handle like that. It could happen to any of us.
Oh crap I'm sorry glad you didn't let it get you down too much. You wanna learn car control at limits you should do rally school. That and growing up in snow followed by drifting I'm wizard with max confidence
maybe some autoX too! thanks!
Never drive your s2000 in the rain and if you have to! Drive 10 below with hazards on
my car will never see rain again for as long as i own it 😂
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
