s2000 AP1 Full ARC build!!!
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

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
Lol rofl I have a bunch of other ARC parts for other cars that im looking to trade for ap1 parts...lol I have sales pending on the ARC intake, spark plug cover, winglets, thermostat, and air diversion panel... so ill be adding those to the list shortly... oh and also have a lead on a full exhaust
lol this is dumb. and whoever sprayed/worked ur front bumper must have been blind.
ur car is going to be a **** box just like most of the cars out there.
but plz prove me wrong i would love for nothing more.

Hahaha rofl yeah the front bumper and rear trunk hatch needs to be painted and im gonna paint the whole car soon... car will look good trust me
look at my previous builds they have never been "shitboxes"

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!
Good luck with your S2000!
"look at your previous builds?"...you just joined this site this month and have like 13 posts...you must work really, really fast
With a username like "sidewayzAP1" I can't wait to see how you ruin this car.
Im new to hondas so my builds have never been on this forum but im not into half *** bs or rice... ill do it the right way... I love haters so please keep the comments flowin...
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
eh while I agree this is a difficult and unusual build to undertake, im not going to go so far as to say the build will suck or that op is an idiot. everyone has their thing. arc made some cool looking stuff. good luck with it
Thanks guys yeah the build will not be easy but im looking forward to it... I dont mind your opinions this is a public forum and I like ARC always have ever since I saw the quality of their intercoolers... and thanks if the buy does fall through ill hit you up
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
Thank man yeah im just going with an overall clean setup with as much ARC parts I can find and then just put as much time and money into suspension and handling mods as needed to handle on the mountain runs out here...
New arc parts!!! Waiting for the intake to come in... also forgot I had the arc actual metal badge and acrylic badge... super rare!!! Decals galore
