(bright upbeat music)
- On the previous episode of:
S2000 Build Giveaway, Build Giveaway, Cash Money Giveaway,
we installed the "Skunk2" racing exhaust
over at EMI performance wheels,
put a cold air intake on this thing
and took the driving experience to the next level.
But, we weren't going to stop there.
What's the best upgrade you can do to your car for
performance, for track time, for anything?
Tires!
So obviously we're going to get this thing
with the tire trim and we've got
some cut metal extreme contact tires.
We also got some super lightweight forge,
rotor form wheels!
And we have some BC racing, BR coilovers
with some really cool features
that we're going to be throwing on this thing,
but we're gonna get those part-time.
We've got to tear this thing apart,
but before we tear this thing apart,
I gotta let you guys know wheels, tires, suspension.
First of all, fitmentindustries.com
if you want to take your car performance to the next level.
Second, if you want to win a car,
that's performance's is already taken to the next level,
again, fitmentindustries.com,
we got all this sick merch.
We got all kinds of accessories and things like that
and every $5 you guys spend gets you an entry to win
this friggin' thing, which is sick,
and, not only do you get an S2000,
you get another 1000 of these bad boys.
S2000 and $10,000 dollars.
$5 dollars per entry, go get entered.
There's a lot of cool stuff.
Let's tear this stuff, so we can get,
and then you can win the thing,
and when it's done, bye.
Hey Brent! Fastest wheel on the channel,
how fast do you think I can get this wheel off?
- [Brent] Uh, 25 seconds?
- Deal.
No, no, no, no.
All right.
- [Brent] Go!
(upbeat electronic music) (drill screeching)
- Time!
I wasn't counting, but we can count that later.
- Wow, you suck.
- Did he make it? - Where do you think you are?
NASCAR?
- Well now you have to do it,
we're gonna time you, all right, other side.
Let's go, right now.
(increasing upbeat electronic music)
- [Cameraman] And go!
(loud upbeat electronic music) (drill screeching)
- [Crew Member] Oh no!
- Oh no!
Time.
- Oh, he used one hand with
the impacting the one? Ohh.
- It was good, winning.
- Yeah, well. - Thank you.
- You're welcome. - I needed that.
- All right, well let's go get you a beers.
(laughing)
- [Cameraman] But the kicker is,
- you have to get on one knee - Nope, I'm not taking a knee
I'm the winner here, Sean should be taking a knee.
Take a knee.
- No, I don't want to do it.
- Take a knee.
You lost, take a knee!
Take a knee, you lost!
Damn, look at him go!
(chill bright music)
(clapping)
- You know what?
- That was impressive. - Oh now I feel like shit.
(laughing) (loud burp)
- Now you got to work on a car and I'm going home.
- Man, bye.
- Bye!
- I love you, dad.
Oh, I just kicked the lock down on the bench.
Good thing we got better aftermarket ones
that I'll show you later!
(upbeat bright music)
All right, so on a more serious note,
let's go over kind of the game plan
for what we're going to do here.
So, first off we have to dis-assemble.
So we have our factory straight unit right here,
there's actually two bolts on the top
and one on the bottom.
It should be pretty easy.
We'll have to disconnect the sway bar,
probably to get things to drop far enough.
Might have to undo a control arm, maybe not.
We're probably just going to roll through this pretty quick.
If you guys want to see a more in depth install,
make sure to go check out
our coilovers for dummies video.
Sorry, up here?
- [Cameraman] More over this.
- Right here? - Yeah.
- Coilovers for dummies, right about here.
- Anyway, yeah.
So then once that stuff's out,
we're going to get the new coilovers
and we'll talk about those a little bit
and we're going to do some rotors
and some pans while this stuff's up
and I'm going to put the cool wheels on it.
So without further ado, I guess let's start the montage!
(upbeat bright music)
So now, that the stocks as much as out,
we're going to put these bad boys in.
This are BC racing, BR series.
Let's get these out of the box
so I can show you how cool these things are.
(upbeat bright music)
Which one's the front? Cause they all look the same.
All right, so, BC racing, BR series coilover
with swift spring upgrade.
First thing you're going to want to know,
about the BC racing BR coilover is that
this has an adjustable body on it.
That means you can adjust the length
of the whole assembly for ride height adjustment,
instead of doing it here and messing up all your preloads
and stuff like that.
Next up, swift spring.
These bad boys are nice upgrade over the standard spring.
These are going to sag less over time.
These are going to be a lot more reliable
as far as track stuff goes.
I don't want to say reliable, but they can take a lot more
really, really, really harsh abuse
and maybe my favorite part,
right here, adjustable damping.
I want to say 30 clicks, but what if I'm wrong?
- [Cameraman] I think you're right.
- That means we can have these things nice and soft
for when we're not at the race track.
And then when we want to go to the track,
you just crank these bad boys up
and that thing is going to get a lot stiffer.
It's going to be a lot more predictable.
It's gonna be a little bit more harsh,
but you're going to go a lot faster on the race track.
Let's get these in, I can't wait to test this out.
(high energy rock music)
Today we're going to be looking at
setting up your coilovers.
Before you put them in, you gotta make sure
that they are all even or it's going to be all wonky.
So what you want to do,
is you're gonna want to measure the distance
between the bottom of the spring perch
and then on the top of here.
And then you just make sure they're even tied at the sides
so they are the same height,
and then with the adjustment,
you want to know how many clicks there are
and then you go all the way to one end
and then you come halfway to the middle
and then you set it up and you put it in
and you adjust it that way.
And then that keeps everything all even,
and then it will be good in.
Thank you for coming to my classroom! Bye!
Bye.
Oh, one more thing before we put these in.
You'll see on this one,
this little welded on a little nut on the end,
so that there's just a bolt that goes through.
Well, since we took this one off,
there is no bolt anymore now, is there?
So BC racing was nice enough to come save the day
and they supply a little nine lock nut
to go up with the factory bolt.
(upbeat music)
- [Cameraman] So start day two, we managed to get three,
actually two and a half coilovers done.
And Dakota's helping out today, for a little bit.
(metal bang)
- [Dakota] What?
- That's bad.
- You're gonna need tools,
but there's a key point to that rule.
You can't be a tool.
Number two, you have to know how to swear.
(beep)
That's a lot, you have to bleep all of that.
And then number three,
you got to do it with your best buddies, come with me.
(laughing)
(drill screeching)
And all the thing just comes off.
(drill screeching)
- All right so, now that the Dakota helped,
with the suspension install that took
them a lot of time and even some man hours,
they helped to get all that stuff in,
that is done, they left.
Now, it's time to do some pads
and some rotors, they're a little crusty.
When I get those out of there, it's going to perform better.
And it's going to go really nicely with our tires
and wheels but before we can do that,
we've got to get everything done under here
so let's get started taking these stock breaks off.
(upbeat bright music)
- So, John got this all buttoned up.
Coilovers are in, that's fantastic.
Now a lot of people think,
coilovers are in, let me go beat the out of this thing
and let's see how she scrapes.
But there's some stuff that we got to check out first.
So first thing we did is, I noticed there's
a little bit of reverse rate going on.
So I measured and it looks like
from the bottom of the wheel, to the top of the arch
on the back, we have about 24 inches.
It's about 25 and a half.
So what we're going to do is we want to level this out.
We don't want that Kelly-lean
that all them truck guys are doing.
Look, look.
Ohh, we don't want that.
So what we're going to do,
is we're going to level out the car, bring down the front.
And then on top of that, when you do that,
these fenders are kind of thick upfront,
and we don't want any rubbing or any of that.
So we're going to roll the fenders,
we have Papa Jake's Spence here,
and he's going to be doing that good stuff on,
and I will be here to supervise.
(drill screeching)
- All right, with the wheel off,
we're going to go ahead and loosen these collars.
And then I'm going to measure about an inch and a half.
Gonna twist it until it comes down.
There's some connections here.
Obviously, if we roll it, this won't clip back in.
So we're going to tuck this behind here
and then roll everything nice and flush.
All right, so we bolted the fender roller on.
Now we're going to heat up these fenders
to avoid cracking the paint
and to make it a little bit easier.
And we're going to go ahead and do the damn thing.
(upbeat techno music)
- Now that all the big, scary paint stuff is out of the way
and the wheels are on the car,
I'm here to do the easy part
and that is to talk about these bad boys.
First of all, good God, look at these things.
This is a white rotor form DTM,
but these bad boys right here,
these are forced from a billet block aluminum.
That is crazy.
These things are light as hell,
especially being 17 inches in diameter,
which I really, really, really like.
That's all going to equal performance.
- [Cameraman] Why you whispering?
- Am I whispering?
And to go along with the overall
just good looks of the design
and the offset and everything like that,
you have a sick rotor from center cap,
that looks awesome!
Super race inspired, super aggressive
and to go with all of that aggressiveness
and that lightweight performance oriented wheel,
you got to have the continental, extreme contact sport.
These things are absolutely ridiculous.
They're super sticky,
they're going to be awesome on the track,
but they're going to be quiet on the street
and they're going to take a whole bunch of abuse
and they're going to make you happy.
All right so now that everything's in,
we got to get this thing on the ground
and see what it looks like
and then hopefully we don't have to do any,
I don't know how to address this, but it looks pretty low.
Okay, let's get on the ground and show you that.
(energetic rock music)
Now that this thing is off the lift,
it looks absolutely freaking-in-sane,
but if you thought that transformation was crazy,
that's nothing compared to what's coming next
and make sure you guys stick around for next week
on Friday for the next episode of the S2000 build series.
But what we're doing, that's super cool, with this car
is we're building it for you guys!
That's right, we're going to be giving this thing away!
All you have to do is head over to the website,

So get over there and get entered,
but I got to leave because it's really late
