yeah i will stop by soon

Are you guys ready for the bad news.......my tranny broke once they made a test pass on street with it. it broke the same gear i broke. They are saying there was a flaw with my PPG tranny. We are gonna try to contact PPG so they can design me something else or take this tranny back and i go another route.

I know, bring on the e-thugging. im a little upset. but its cool. if PPG doesnt stand behind this shitty product they have sold me then we will see what else we can do. so i will be down a few more weeks.

sorry guys. i got this info after the video was posted:(

Sounds like you need to fly up there and crack some heads. Put an auto in it.

WTF? Glide, Turbo 400, or sell that shit.


man, i would love to put a glide in it, but i have spent so much on this. i would like for this to work. i would have to find someone to make me a bell housing and input shaft to make it work. ...plus making it fit under the car would be another adventure......but trust me, i would love a glide. my shit would run 8 seconds (theory) with one. AUTO ftw. let me see what PPG is gonna do. they need to fix thier fuck up


its just really frustrating when the same thing keeps fucking up. i know there are only like 3-5 s2k putting the power down and actually drag racing like i do. but that is no excuse. i didnt want a dyno queen so thats why i called PPG. i am really upset at the moment. i dont know.....maybe..... i dont know

im not exactly sure. they told me when i broke it a while back that there was a flaw with the way the gears slid into each other. they tried to fix it, but it broke anyway.

Put a LS1 in it with a T56 and your turbo and that will cure all your worry's.

You may even be able to outrun me if you did that???...................































































Then again, that will never happen! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!:cheers:

btstone
06-23-2009, 05:35 PM
already thought about putting an ls1 in it.

i have went so far with this build it would be pointless. plus with the weigth and power and tq the car makes.......

my car next year will have a lsx in it. i have already started on it. i will sell this s2000 soon

Yeah get rid of it. Too much $$$ and trouble.

btstone
06-23-2009, 07:19 PM
its not the money or trouble. that happens when you have unique shit that is fast. im just tired of it. someone will buy a car that is fully worked out and super fast. it will be a good car for the person who has the money to buy it. im not gonna sell them something that breaks all the time. im gonna get it worked out

now that i will say is a great attitude towards selling it. don't sell somebody an expensive headache, you're actually standing up and fixing it to 100% before anybody gets a crack at it. :goodjob:

What I meant by too much money is that you keep having to throw money at it just for it to keep breaking and breaking. Good attitude like hondabitch, err i mean builder stated. Just playing Hondabuilder...

I would get the S2000 fixed and just turn the boost down a little to keep it as a driver. It is a nice car and is unique and fast all at the same time. I know it sucks to throw money at something and it keeps breaking, but I would keep it and just enjoy it.Then concentrate on building the corvette. LS motors make stupid power and you don't have to spend a fortune. For instance, my old motor. Stock crank, $400.00 I beam rods, and a set of forged pistons, AFR heads. I could duplicate my old motor for 8 grand and add boost and you are making 1000rwhp!

if i were gonna do that i would have never have bought this custum tranny and did a custom driveshaft and entire rear end. i only run 27psi. thats not a whole lot. but im already dedicated to try to be the fastest s2k in the world. i gotta just finish it now. im this close.

the corvette is just my DD. i have bought an lsx block i am going to build. i dont know what im gonna put it in. if i can find a roller c5 that would be great. plus i think i can sell the s2000 for 35k (or reasonale offer) to the right person, i mean how many 4 cylinders cars can run 9sec with full leather interior and AC and radio and what not, i think 35k is fair considering you can not duplicate my car for near that. i put 60k+ in it and i did all my labor. it may take a few months, but someone is out there that has the funds and wants to buy it. im just ready to move on. im gonna enjoy the car while it is up for sale. but if anyone wants it. come get it

Jesus. Sorry to hear about the troubles. You can continue to beef up everything but eventually you'll find the next weakest link. It's an expensive hobby. lol.

Some1 posted a video of an S2k making 700hp on STOCK internals...is that possible?

LSX block is a good start. That is what I have! Just to give you a idea, I have some of the best parts in my shortblock, and I have spent 12grand on it!
Add the heads and the rest of the stuff, you are looking at my motor costing 18almost 19grand for the motor only, then the turbo system another 10grand, then the fuel system and driveline! But this is what it takes not to push water and be able to make 2000hp if I need it. You are starting off in the right direction when the time comes for you.
