- Which one am I looking at?
Hey guys, what's going on?
It is Alex, from Fitment Industries,
and I am with Dustin Williams,
who has much bigger arms than me,
so I will put my hands behind my back,
so you can't see.
- That's right, no, no, no, no.
- All right, we are having our hands out here.
Anyway, we are taking a look at Dustin's Honda S2000,
and we are going to be giving it a little bit of a review.
And of course, courtesy of Dakota,
we are doing the good old classic fist test.
- Finger test.
- Pinky test.
And so Dustin, without further ado,
kind of tell me a little bit about the car.
I love the tape, good touch.
- Okay, it had some battle scars, right guys, you know,
cut me some slack here,
but this is my 2000 Honda S2000, pretty cool there.
But what actually inspired this build was I was in Tokyo,
in 2019, I think it was, and I actually got to visit Spoon,
actual Spoon HQ.
And I saw their Spoon S2000, then I was like, I need that.
- So you did.
- Yes, I got it.
And I really wanted to get into actually tracking my cars,
having fun on the track and stuff.
So there is no better way to do it,
than to actually buy a car I'd been really wanting,
just the S2000, and then building a full Spoon,
time attack car.
- Okay.
- Entire Spoon car,
everything that you can get from Spoon is on this car.
So we did the entire kit, we have all the new bushings,
we have the bracing, literally everything is on this car,
and I built it specifically,
to be a time attack monster, basically.
- So what makes it a time attack monster?
What is done with the engine, wheels, and tires?
- Dude, literally, nothing.
- Oh, that is the opposite of--
- Add an exhaust, I have an exhaust.
- So this is an AP series?
- So this is AP one, with AP two engine in it.
- So this has the F-22 with the AP,
or I guess it is the infinity ECU now.
And then we did like Spoon headers and then Spoon exhaust,
and that is it.
We really wanted to dive in with this car,
with full suspension and brand new bushings.
- [Alex] So just connecting the car to the ground.
- [Dustin] Everything new,
that will make this car feel like it is on rails, we did.
So we left power, pretty much driving this thing
was like 200 horsepower,
but it is so much fun to drive,
it handles better than anything that I have ever driven.
I have taken my Five-70 on the track.
I have taken my GTR on the track.
This car, way more fun and still my favorite on the track
- That's awesome.
So you got the Titan sevens, right?
And then Yokohama, what? V6
- A0 --
- A052's
- Yes, my favorite tire.
- [Alex] And then Spoon brakes?
- [Dustin] Spoon brakes.
- So that is kind of something that,
I don't think a lot of people know, or at least,
I would say our market may not know as much,
is Spoon does more than just body components.
They are doing brakes,
they are doing all sorts of crazy stuff
- They have bushings for underneath your car,
they have bracing, they have weld in brackets,
to help your car just handle better.
Literally everything Spoon makes.
- It is kind of similar,
to a lot of the stories that you guys hear,
when we did our talking about, you know,
top secret and things like that. As a lot of times,
people associate or even the crazy like Vail side,
they almost associate only with the body kits, the fenders,
the roof, the hoods, all that sort of stuff,
the spoilers, the splitters,
but they do performance stuff as well.
Which is actually pretty neat.
You know, I don't think you really hear about that too much.
All right. Let's go to the back,
because it is the inevitable,
and then is this a square set up?
Are you running like nine and a half or ten and a half?
- This is a square set up set up.
- That is kind of interesting,
to get yourself a square setup,
it cuts in really nice actually,
which I think is pretty neat.
One of the coolest things about these cars, quite honestly,
in my personal opinion, is that the Honda S2000,
probably has one of the best body styles,
that will stay current for ages.
I just think they did a really good job with this car,
back in 2000, even the interior to this day is still,
you got the touch, you know, you have to push to start,
which is a little funky, but you got to push to start entry.
You have got a super driver oriented interior.
The seats were insane at the time and they still are.
I know people are sourcing out the OEM S2000 seats.
- I kept all my seats.
- Yeah, those seats are, those seats are nuts.
And then of course, square set up, super clean,
for what I mean, it is a time attack car.
- It is a time attack car, man.
- All right, what do I, what do I do back here?
- This is the Spoon and one exhaust, all right.
- Okay, so this is the Spoon,
and one, four fingers? That would be uncomfortable.
Three fingers?
Comfortable, comfortable. Two fingers in each?
Better, better, maximum performance out of the back.
So I don't know if that is how you do a fist test,
but that is how I do my fist tests.
Lots of,
come here Brent, Simba.
So that is a super cool car.
So let's, I just want to take a little peak at the interior.
How do you see out of these?
Do you even look?
- You really don't.
Here she is, man.
We have got all my race equipment in here.
- [Alex] And BRIDE seats?
BRIDE seat, driver seat, okay.
- [Dustin] Yep.
Here we go, look at her.
- [Alex] That is nice, so this is like,
I just want to take a peak at it.
- [Dustin] Give her a sit brother, come on.
I need you to get the whole feel
- Painter's tape, I like the touch.
Your shoes are back here,
I just feel like, okay, hold on.
This is going to, I'm not sure,
if this is going to fit my broad shoulders, like yours.
So just give me a second, let me just.
You can't move in this seat,
once you are in, you are in. How do you fit in this?
- [Dustin] You are just there.
- That does not make any sense,
your shoulder are two times the size of mine.
That does not make any sense.
- I'm planted, man. I do not go anywhere.
- Completely shaved, everything is gone in the back.
Oh, you got the button for the trunk. That is kind of nice.
Wow!
- This is her, man.
- This is pretty sick.
Don't suck.
This is my favorite part of the car.
Automatically get one more point.
There is a sticker in here that says don't suck.
That is all it says.
Hi Dakota.
Yeah,
try harder.
And then this just presses up like that?
- Yeah, there you go.
- That is fancy. That is pretty cool.
Oh gosh, I'm going to tear them.
Okay, all right.
Okay, that was easy,
that was really simple.
So what is your favorite track that you have been on,
with this car?
- [Dustin] Laguna Seca.
- [Alex] Laguna Seca.
Any personal records that you set with the car too?
- I mean, everything was a personal record,
because this is the first car,
that I tracked on
any track.
- Really?
- Yeah, like every time I went to the track,
it was always another personal record.
- That is awesome.
So Laguna Seca favorite, you got Titan sevens,
you got an authentic Spoon body, S2000,
that you time attack,
you pretty happy with it.
- I love this thing, man.
- Okay, so we are going to rate it.
You just need to rate it,
on out of all the cars that you have owned,
and or driven to.
Okay, so 10 being, this is your number one car,
number one being you are going to sell it to me.
Okay, I am going to rate it on my personal opinion,
on the fifth test exclusively,
and the fact that I fit on the inside of the car.
Are we ready?
Ready on three.
- Same time?
- Yes, same time.
It is completely different, it does not make any sense.
On three, so one, two, three, and then go.
- Okay, one, two, three, and then go.
- Yes, ready?
- I'm ready.
- One, two, three.
Eight.
- Nine.
Hey, that was not bad, that was pretty good.
So nine.
- Nine, it is a nine.
I wish I had a little bit more power.
I think that is my biggest thing with it,
if it had a little bit more power from stock,
that would be good.
- I rated it an eight, I absolutely love these cars.
I love S2000's and everything that they are about.
I think the reason that I love it so much though,
is the fact that you actually took all the components,
from Spoon and you are using the sh** out of them.
You are using the car for what it means to do.
Like, I love everything about what you are doing here,
and the fact that it goes everywhere with you.
You know, it sounds like you really enjoy the car,
and it is not a car where,
you are counting on the horsepower to make it fun.
It is everything else,
it is your driver input that makes you enjoy the car.
And I think that is the neatest thing,
with these sort of cars is,
if you can enjoy it when you are driving it,
when you are really experiencing it,
versus just straight power and scare the sh** out of you,
I think that is pretty cool.
- Exactly, and that is what the S2000 is all about, man.
- That's awesome. Awesome.
Well, thank you.
Well, that is another episode of reviewing your cars.
I have not been on this series in 10,000 years,
so I am not entirely sure what to do,
but if you are looking for a real start suspension,
fitmentindustries.com,
and if you are looking to add your car to the gallery,
fitmentindustries.com/Add,
and if you want to watch somebody,
who is much buffer than me and work on cars,
that are much faster than mine.
Check out Dustin Williams.
All right, we'll see you later.
I'm putting the Berks back on.
