Yo Hi every1,
I Am A Newbie At This Site And Also 1 As A Char-g Owner, I Have A Yellow Honda S2000 Which Is 40MHZ.

I Am Just Wondering What Motor I Should Get, Tyres, Gears, Axles, And Should I Put A Spoiler And A Bodykit On It?

I need some engien specs whic i dunno what they are.

this is what i have so far

Yellow is defenetly 2.2 orig MS motor
that pink redish (not orange) suppose to be 2.6 but its faster than a orange motor a little bit.
and then there is that odd blue one its not teh dark blue 1.0 this one is really fast it came off a clone car which was labeled as 2.6 but it had a different gear on the engine not the tire gears and it is alot faster then a 2.6 orange on the MS gears.

Thats A Nice Mod For Your First Mod, Even though ive never tried 1, lol

, And How Did ya Get your S2000 Red, or did ya paint it?

nice lights. Though I suggest you break one of the wires leading to the battery, strip a portion, route it out of the antenna hole in the shell and when you want to turn it on just twist them wires together, and untwist them to turn off. It saves the hassle and bulk of stuffing a switch into the hole.

Anyway speedsta, the stock 9.86:1 orange gears provide a balance between top end speed and torque.

The 8.25:1 gears [dang I forgot what color it was] probivide more speed, but less torque and acceleration. The 12:1 gears provide more acceleration and torque, but less speed. Hope that helps.

Oh and the suspension bars. The hard one allows better handling and steering response resulting in a smaller turn radius, but fails to move stably on rough surfaces.

The soft one allows for greater control on rough surfaces, but has less steering responsiveness and has a larger turning radius. Of course the medium ones are between the 2. You stock bar should be the hard type.

Usually the spoiler is there for the look, rather than function.

Anyway I'm doing the headlights mod too, but here in singapore white 3mm LEDs aren't available yet.

But I can make do with yellow ones. Oh, and add 2 tail lights to your S2000!! Red ones! Actually you can stick the battery right under the shell and use my method of splitting the wire.

hey speedsta, you should have a look over at www.ausmicro.com if you are not already a member there. You might be able to find some stuff you are after for cheaper. Its an aussie forum for bit char g's.

IceSkyLine · #14 10-29-2003, 01:31 PM

like it said jsut a lab rat.
it was to see how a lite mod works. b/c the s2000 is pretty roomy for a 2 door MS.

i have build another one in the Skyline R34 GTR where there is no room in the cabinet. But i figured out how to stuff it near the motor. I just wonder how hot the motor can get.

u can see it in smooth skyline tread.
Hummm what next ?
