my goal with the new carwas to build the ultimate street machine. So during the summer its my daily drive i do 100km a day to get to work ... on the weekend i drift it. So i wanted the car that was reliable as fuck .... cheapish on gaz ... with enough power not to be bored .. Since i'ved owned an fc in the past i knew is was an awesome chassis but my problem was the rotary ... Its a amazing engine easy to make power reliable when you know how to use it but the gaz milleage is horific :( So in january i drove 600 km and i picked up an f20c for my car . I always wanted to do this swaped in a car (my first drift car was an ae86 so naturally i love high reving engine)

first we test fitted the engine in the car

i bought a manual steering rack because s2000 came with electric rack and also because all my other cars were manual rack except the mustang
put a bit of work on it to make it look better

i ending cutting the subframe in half to make the engine fit properly

Did not know that thing was honda powered. Thanks for the info on your wheels. Pretty much sold on them with gold powder coat for my white car. Love that you can run a square setup with them and be able to rotate tires.

Looking good man!

benjdmin 05-27-14 03:47 PM

Absolutely love the car man! The F20 is a an amazing engine and sets it apart from all of the v8 FCs out there. Keep it up!

m@nu 05-30-14 04:56 PM

the engine definitly suits the car its amazing

SpikeDerailed 06-05-14 08:20 PM

would the engine have been able to clear without cutting the subframe if you have made a rear sump setup?

m@nu 06-06-14 07:48 AM

yeah it was either i build a custom pan or cut the subframe .... id rather cut the subframe and keep the stock pan

ComicArtist 06-12-14 01:20 AM

Custom pans are no fun to mess with

m@nu 06-12-14 07:12 AM

exactly ... thats why i didint want to do it

This car rocks! You should go to spherical trailing arm bushings, get adjustable toe rods and weld the eccentrics up in the furthest back position to give yourself that extra quarter inch of wheel base.

That, or snag some replacements out of the junkyard.

m@nu 08-13-14 10:56 AM

thats probably whats gonna happen ... but right now im low on drift car budget ... im leaving for vegas in 5 days for a wedding ...


and i have a big drift event coming ...

damnit i wish i was a rapper investing on lambo's and hoes

archaphil 08-13-14 12:47 PM

The toe bolt with the oval washer built into it? I just bought them from the dealer a month or so ago for like... $20bucks? I am sure I can find the part number for you.

m@nu 08-13-14 03:06 PM

the bolt is available i have it with me ... the exentric washer are discontinued ...

m@nu 08-25-14 12:21 PM

all right saturday decided to go for a sliding session even if i was pretty hungover from my trip in vegas.... 1h30 after comming off the plane i was in my car drifting ... my vision and brain were as much sideways as my car was !

so i decided to change my diff before i lefted for my trip ... i bought a tomei 2 way ... car feels like a million bucks ... soo much smoother .. less sucky understeer and somehow more smoke coming out the rear end :D

car is still not aligned in the back because im waiting for some pmb toe arm and camber link
