Another LS1 Powered s2000

[Vteckidd]

Im guessing the cost to do this RIGHT is far more than what a C5 Z06 costs? Engine, transmission, labor, wiring, computer, Rear end, axles, driveshaft etc etc etc I cant see someone doing it right for under 20K.

I like this far more than the 2JZ S2Ks for sure. Have any of you tracked against an LSX Powered Miata yet?

Not even close. Cut that in half and you are closer to reality. I don't have $20k in mine and I had to factor in the price of a car. Purchased with a blown motor but still.

Haven't been up against any LSx Miata's on the track yet. I am sure they would be fairly comparable. I prefer the s2000. That's just me.

And Hi Vteckidd. It's been a while... you know who this is, yes?

Considering AP1s beat to hell and back are still $7000-$8000. I dont even know where to find a "shell" from haha Unless you know a guy at Ed Voyles :P

Id think the cost of the car, LSX motorset, mounts, ecu, radiator, you HAVE to beef the rear end up because the stock S2000 will shatter like glass. Im sure YOU yourself can do it cheaper, but if you were doing it for a customer i cannot see it costing less than $20,000 for someone to do it all and do it all right. At the end you would have a $20,000 super car that almost nothing could touch

Absolutely, S2000>miata But i know the LSX swap has been done in the miatas for years. I was wondering how they match up car vs car and cost vs cost. Exterior styling id choose the S2000 any day of the week

Yep. That is correct. Just saying that if you can do the work yourself, it does not cost near that much. And how did you know about the Ed Voyles thing, or was that just a stab in the dark?

Here's a hint for you. A blast from your past. And yes... I still have it.

Nah i know the guy you bought the shell from. Ed Voyles just inspected my 2004 AP2 i sold, the service guy mentioned he had sold an S2K shell, i put 2+2 together HAHAHA Lucky guess.

Thats a pretty sweet car, not hating at ALL, i think its pretty impressive you guys are doing all that work, just make sure you take a ton of photos. Personally, i think ive gotten to the point where i hate doing that much work LOL. Id love to see the finished one with AC and PS. That would be about a perfect car.

This is not the car from Ed Voyles. That car is mine which you can see the build pics on here as well.

This. He purchased his without motor/trans. Mine had a blown motor with a working trans that is now being rebuilt and installed in an AE86 drift car from Tennessee.

Recycling. That's how we roll.

well the guy just said that he had sold a shell to "the guy that does the LS1 swaps in S2000s". I assumed it was one of you two or both. I think you brought one to that Mainstream Tunerfest dyno day few years back.
