How is ground clearance with running the exhaust and everything? Are you going to really be able to lower it at all, or are you pretty much stuck @ stock height?
no problem with ground clearance it looks bad in the video but thats mostly shadows. The mufflers are about 1 to 1-1/2" below the frame rails and im about to lower it 1" with some springs.

I was looking for this thread again. Glad to see the new video is here!

I'll post up a new thread for mine in this forum after we get it on the dyno, so I'll have more substantial pics and video to share than I do now.

If we can't work out a larger V8S2000.com meet in Tennessee or thereabouts this summer, I'd love to meet up with you somewhere in AL or GA so we can check out each other's cars. Hopefully some time soon after May. Crazy respect for you getting this far by yourself. "Badass" just doesn't do it justice!

wow, congrats on the build. it sounds amazing. looks like its time to put some after market wheels on that are a bit wider so that you can run some tires that will have a chance at holding the power.

also, if you ever get a chance, it would be interesting to see what the weight distribution is. i would guess that it has moved forwards, but not as much as most would think would be my guess.

the weight is 50/50 which the stock S2000 is 49/51 the cars weight is about 2800lbs. and yes some new tires and wheels are in the future.
