SOLD!


Please READ THIS BEFORE ASKING ME QUESTIONS
I need to add some background to this car and motor setup. I purchased the car from a dealership for a good price. They had no idea what they had and I purchased the car in the first 12 hours they had it listed on Auto-Trader. The car was absolutely mint inside and out minus one little spot by the rear driver's side window.

In the next two weeks the car received the transplant of my old Racecar motor and a bunch of new additions like suspsension/wheels, etc. The whole idea of this car was to have a car that I could actually drive to the track and race and not have to tow it everywhere. The car is completely streetable. I daily drove the car for a few months when it was practically my only car a year ago.

When the motor was built it got the oil changed, coolant bled and was pushed directly back from the lift and onto the dyno for the engine break in. I have not changed a single thing on the motor since I have built it 2 years ago. The initial dyno break in was right around 450 on around 15psi through a 2.5" exhaust that I had laying around from a previous car. I took it to the track like this a few times and ran a best of 11.4 @ 126 through the exhaust.

I then put the car back on the dyno on open downpipe and made 550 on 18psi. I never took the car to the track at this power level, this was about the time that I purchased my S2000. Since I have had the S2000 I haven't tracked the car at all, but it did go back on the dyno one last time when I had some extra race gas laying around and it also gained a Kteller 3" exhaust and a Magnaflow 3" muffler. On 104 Octane I just turned the boost up to around 25psi and that is where it put down the 607whp figure. I have never tracked or raced the car at this power level either. The car has basically sat in my driveway for a few months with me driving it periodically to meets and shows.

The last time I had the car on the dyno I did a compression check and everything checked out perfectly so the motor is definitely healthy as even when I drove the car I babied it on the highway to and from work. It rarely saw full throttle unless it was on the dyno or at the track as at this power level it just spins the tires all day long anyway and I am not really into doing that on the street.

There are more things in the car but that is the important stuff.













Open down pipe, pump gas, 18psi


3" Exhaust 25psi 104 Octane



Video when the car was on 2.5" exhaust and around 440hp in 3rd/4th/5th.
The car has trapped a best of 102 in the 1/8 and 129 in the 1/4. I have never ran the car at a power level above around 475 whp and have never ran it open exhaust or with the 3" exhaust installed.

 

hey john its kane, dont know if you remember me. i got an 02 rsx-s, that and some cash on top?

 

interested in a built s2000 turbo, cf hardtop, etc.. plus cash on your end? text if interested 8145058989 thanks

 

bump! love ur ride

 

I already own an S2000 that is part of the reason I am selling this.

 

Is the car streetable? As in would it be roadworthy enough for a several hundred mile trip? Also hows the interior? If not all installed, do you have all the interior parts?

 

I have driven the car long distance in the past, a few 1-200 mile round trips without a problem. The engine currently has about 12,000 miles on it since it has been installed in this car.

The interior is still completely stock. None of the interior panels have been removed and they are all in great shape.

The car is perfectly streetable, I actually drive it every winter since the S2000 doesn't go very well in the snow or even heavy rain.

I also still have the stock seats, which are in GREAT shape and also the OEM hood.

I will take some better interior pictures tomorrow when I get a chance.

 

so no on the rsx-s? bump

 

Na. I'm not looking at all to trade the car for even close to even up.

I already have a daily driver and I am not looking for another project.

The only thing I would really consider would be something with an SR swap in it so I can use it to test my nissan editor on, and that is about it.

 

wish i could build somthin like this

 

bump for jk!

was this the car you were talking about while you were towing me back home:-D

 

Nope. That was a lot longer ago than this. I think that was probably the K20 hatch I had in 2005.

 

you had hte k20 hatch at the time but you were wanting to sell it. when vtec worked it felt great haha

 

Bump.

 

 

gl with the sell!

 

bump

 

Bump for an awesome ride!

 

 

damn nice build!

 

bump for some updated pictures.

 

bump for john...a legit guy. and great tuner

 

Thats a real good price for a solid built car

 

Still waiting on some photo updates

 

They are coming tomorrow!

I just got done with a turbo kit on an S2000 that has been taking up a great deal of my time lately.

I am going to drive the car to the shop tomorrow, give it a bath and snap some new pics with interior, etc.
