Default s2000 AP1 Full ARC build!!! UPDATED

I just sold my sc300 with supra 2jzgte swap and bought a 2000 ap1... always loved s2000's but never thought id own 1... So ever since abbey road company (ARC) went out of business, i have been collecting any and all parts I could manage to get my hands on... plans for this ap1 is strickly track handling monster!!! Also want to use all ARC parts they made for the ap1 from the shift **** down to the diff cooler... this task will probably be near impossible but the challenge has been accepted!!!

So far I have 2 shift ***** 1 brushed titanium and the other polished, s15 sr20 spark plug cover, bov, and a bunch of stickers and decals...lol the spin **** is actually a very rare burnt titanium aspec product not ARC but still looks good







If you have any ARC parts for sale let me know!!!

PARTS UPDATE!!!
*ARC minty intake and chamber
*ARC intercooler(even though im staying N/A)
*ARC magic spoiler(in route)



Installed



*****spoiler came in




Gonna do a custom job on the spoiler and widen the poles for a more aggressive and functional look




Spoiler has been widened and mounted





Oil cap came Iin



Nardi installed





New project mu pads and powerslot rotors on but now Im gonna redo the entire front hubs... new hubs, bearings, steel braided lines, slotted rotors, pmu pads, arp wheel studs, polyurethane bushings all around, new boots, neo chrome muteki open lug nuts , and 18x8.5 gram light optimise

So what happens when you need to replace your ARC parts? They don't make the parts anymore, so........

The car isnt gonna be a daily so the parts wouldnt get alot of mileage on them but if I need to replace 1 of them then look for tbe replacement or use a different brand until its found...

not really sure why you would want to do this...ARC went out of business for a reason, and I know for a fact that their stupid box intake actually lost power...but hey, if you want to just throw away money, go for it

So you basically have a gear **** and some stickers?

Quit while you're ahead, otherwise - good luck.

Actually ARC Int. in Japan is back in business but in so limited a capacity it can do the OP no good. You'd do much better using parts manufacturers more readily accessible in the U.S.

Good luck with your S2000!

lol, another trendy kid who uses the term haters to describe someone who doesn't agree with what theyre trying to do...its not called hating, its called having an opinion...you tend to get those when you post on a public forum

Don't get all the haters saying it will be a **** box, everyone has different opinions about whats good and what isn't but as long as your happy with your end result that's all that matters. good luck with it all
