As someone who has owned both, you simply can’t beat the rawness and fun of driving the hell out of an s2K with sticky tires. Nice exhaust + VTEC + 9k rpm + roof off in the trees is driving nirvana
S2k is raw. Best shifter in any car ever made. However, feels underpowered. The excitement of VTEC and sound at 9000 rpm will wear off. Then you’re left with a gutless engine at normal speeds/driving. I owner a 2003 AP1 for 3 years.
s2000 is a definite, not many builds on youtube about them, and with the recent up in populairty, they are only going to get more expensive. Apparently its going to be the next NSX in price.
The S2k is going to end up a unicorn. Just like all the other JDM legends, I would put it in that genre. Buy it and hold it forever. We’ll look back and wish we did.
Bro if I had the money I would've bought your car, like we saw this project and felt in love with the car, thanks for the videos and memories that you gave us
My neighbor has one of the most subtly clean S2000's. It's not flashy or showy, relatively speaking, but just about perfect. There's some bodywork and there are some frills here and there, but it's subtle and perfect. My first car was also a Del Sol, in high school. I saved up for a few months to get a little body kit and had to figure out how to install it. It was the first, but wouldn't be the last of my older, half beat up Hondas.
Awesome choice. I did the opposite, had my s2000 since 2006 (still have it) and got the Supra in 2022. That top down drive is just different, and it's a fun car to drive slow. And even though my s2000 makes 390whp with a supercharger, it's nice to have something stock and fast.
@ i bought my s2000 about a year ago and it’s one of the best car I’ve ever driven in the canyons. I just got all my voltex parts so I’m super excited to see ur version! I say get them before they get even more expensive.
I'd always recommend getting different cars that serve different purposes. E9X makes a lot of sense if you're going for a one-car solution but since you already have a fast car (the Supra), the S2K can scratch a different itch and be the lightweight, high-reving analog roadster that's better suited for backroads cruising.
Had both the E92 and the S2000. Theres a reason why I owned over 7 s2k’s. Every time I sell it I end up buying another one! You will fall in love with it more when driven on the track! Way funner and more raw than the supra for sure. Not the fastest thing on the road but its a drivers car for sure. Maybe think about going Porsche…. The og s2000 people progression was s2k->M3->911…
You should get the s2000 because it is a dream car to you. I did it with the civic em1 and it was just to take that out of my list and now it will star with me forever... after that you can get any other car you like. Because they are not expensive to have.
I was hoping to see another EDM car. However an S2000 isn’t a bad choice. It’s a fun sports car with excellent handling. Since it’s RHD I think you should retain the F20 engine. Since it’s a low KM odometer don’t expect to get a lower price; pay the high price I doubt they’re going to lower it a lot. An AP1 with low KM is very difficult to find.
S2000 handles better and the gear box is so nice. Its just too slow for me nowadays. I own both, a A90 and GT35 turbo S2000. A boosted Stewie will start breaking things. The A90 is nice because it decently fast stock and you dont have to worry about glass diff and rear vibrations. Good luck man.
“The previous buyer couldn’t get the credit approval or the loan approval to buy the car”, That’s so bad, poor guy 😂 but atleast you were able to come up with it lol
Bro you should have buy a shelby,zo6 or a camaro zl1 bro i love jdm but i grew up and fell in love with muscle cars they are very easy to make big big power talking about 1000whp or more with just bolt ons and a tune
That S2K is 🔥🥵. I'm sure there's a premium price for that car, it is a GEM. But if you get a Nazi German BMW turd...a V8 BMW is the only good option. Good luck! 😎👍 Supra is lookin' sooooo good.
Nothing beats the supra mk5, i love the s2000, but it aint beating german engineering buddy, only upgrade from this would be another german car named PORCHE
Thanks for the hope! Jake deserved it. He put in so much work 2024 and it wasn’t unnoticed. Can’t wait to see what 2025 brings me with the new addition to the channel!
Like our conversation on IG, I think an SW20 would have been a more original build but I understand the why of the S2k or the E9X. Given the choice, I would agree with the S2K just cause I saw how good the Js racing and the Amuse S2K are.
It’s really quite simple actually. The S2k is the wifey material who is average looking/a bit boring but at least won’t drain your bank account. And the E9X M3 is the hot gf who is great in bed but requires a lot of attention (aka maintenance/repairs). Or another way to look at it: the E9X is an s2k that is on crack & steroids.
Definitely the S2000 is the way to go. However, rule of thumb, if the model sold in the US LHD. There’s no point in getting that same model in RHD. Find a clean LHD.
Honestly after driving it a bit it’s a lot of fun. I’m left handed too! Reason I’m looking into rhd too is because people are asking too much for their clapped out S2000s in the states 😭
My thoughts as well. I personally see RHD in the states as a negative and would only go that route if the car was only ever offered as a RHD or if there was a superior trim that was excluded from the US. Cars like the Evo 5 or DC5 Type R come to mind.
Honda's are the longest reving lowest TQ cars ever.......I had a 2006 RSX Type-S and it was zzzzzz, not my jam but i understand why people like them. TQ and turbos ruined me via other cars. The S2K's are a timeless design though, they are awesome. I think my favorite of the runs were the final year CR's in blue!
@@iCozzh EV's are too heavy regardless of the output, until the industry can figure out another type of energy storage solution that provides greater density and less weight, it's not for me....especially when we are talking about SOUL. Most EV's are soulless A to B vehicles, i'd say that the exception being the Ionic 5 N, but for that kind of money i'd be buying a used M3 Comp X-Drive.
@ the model 3 weighs the same as a 3series, likewise all of teslas models are comparable to their ice counterparts all without using exotic materials such as carbon.
@ also idk about you but the best part about teslas is for the a-b. I dont want to “enjoy” the thrill of driving at 5am when its damp cold and dark. I want the car to defrost itself whilst i take a dump, drive myself to work as im tired as fk using teslas fsd. The weekend is where the fun ice cars can come out.
@@iCozzh not hard to beat a plaid nowadays, a pure turbo supra already runs 8's that would smoke a plaid. Only thing you can do on a plaid is remove weight which will make it a death trap
Don't subscribe to the "supercharger" hype.. NA or Turbo.. the supercharger stuff isn't very exciting and they have terrible fuel economy which is actually kinda important when you go back roading a lot.
I would get into e9x platform. However, it is very costly depending on the year abd mileage of it. S2k is good too. But bro you gotta get Duncan off your vlogs bro. No hate but the dude is trying too hard to be funny. Bring DANIEL back.
Hard pick between the two honestly. And what are you talking about bro. Duncan’s a genuine friend and I’m not keeping friends off the vlogs cuz someone told me to 😂
As someone who has owned both, you simply can’t beat the rawness and fun of driving the hell out of an s2K with sticky tires. Nice exhaust + VTEC + 9k rpm + roof off in the trees is driving nirvana
Dude yes! Speed isn’t everything. I can’t imagine driving through the canyon screaming at 9K
S2k is raw. Best shifter in any car ever made. However, feels underpowered. The excitement of VTEC and sound at 9000 rpm will wear off. Then you’re left with a gutless engine at normal speeds/driving. I owner a 2003 AP1 for 3 years.
Time for a turbo haha

I agree. I think the S2K is going to be a classic
E92 M3 . No questions asked… I have the E92 manual and the A90 Supra. Best of both worlds!
I still need to drive a e9x
The S2k is going to end up a unicorn. Just like all the other JDM legends, I would put it in that genre. Buy it and hold it forever. We’ll look back and wish we did.
lol. theyve been a flat value line for 10 years.
and 10 years is a long time in history?
People on FB are asking too much for their clapped down S2K 😭 I agree though, it’ll definitely hold its value for a clean example in the future
My boy got that Joker laugh 12:03 😂.
😂
Someone said Elmo laugh 😂
Been waiting for an s2000 build
Hell yeah. That’s good to see that yall are down for a s2k build!
Bro if I had the money I would've bought your car, like we saw this project and felt in love with the car, thanks for the videos and memories that you gave us
Don’t worry! The Supra is staying! The next car will be an addition to the garage :)

Congrats on the Supra! Hope we can make the s2k happen
Especially with ur build style I know the s2000 build is gonna be aggressive and clean
Dude thank you! You already know the direction I’d go if it were a S2K

M3 would've been sick, hope the s2k build goes well tho
I think im feeling the S2000 more but its a tough choice 🥲
everyone got a bmw....not that many s2000 that i know of. I say go with what YOU want. Much love
Thank you!
Looking for the paddles when shifting in the S2000😅
Ooops 😭
Dude s2k 😮 the way to go a thousand percent
Yess! Get on board!
just curious if you guys already had USDM LHD S2000s, what makes the JDM RHD one more appealing to own?
Because people in the states asking for too much on fb marketplace for their high mileage clapped out s2000 haha
Vinh going straight Elmo as a passenger in his own car 😂
Dude I can’t get it out of my head now 😭 Elmo laugh gg
S2000 gonna get the voltex treatment👀
If I get a S2000, you already know it will ✌️
Hoping to see a full spoon ap1 build. SPOON SPOON SPOON, and get it signed my ichishima San. That’s content fr fr
I need spoon money first 😭 maybe fork for now
@ this guy.
Nah, that S2K is too perfect. I really hope you get it.
S2K the way?
@@vinhgeta It's the way, my boy!
lets go Vinh
Thanks ✌️
Damn reading all the comments before getting to the end of the video made me think you actually got an s2000. Could have been the supra/s2000 duo.
Haha maybe one day
Woah! S2000!!! 🤩
I hope so!

1 word. Spoon 😎
I’m a voltex fan boi 🥲
s2000 is a goldmine I say DO IT! But don't sell the supra that's the reason that I began following you and that's the reason that I still watch you!
Don’t worry! The Supra is here to stay!
JDM ALL DAY!

It’s not going to be an upgrade. It’s going to be an addition!

He definitely did
Why not a r32 or r33?
lol not everyone has r32 or r33 money
@@vinhgeta well i wish one day you have the money to buy one and built one for your chanel

you could build an s2000 anytime of the day. pick the M3.
S2000 prices have been hiking tho
s2000 another shit ass honda where all people kswap, you picked that over a V8 M3 hay.
