Honda s2000 Volvo 760 turbo b@&£+#d child

Interesting project, i love stuff like this. Imo though to pull this off it really needs an obscenely large turbo and some big power. Somebody must have really wanted the s2k lump, these cars seem to fetch a fortune nowadays

Looks awesome. Volvo lump has loads of potential this would be awesome with a bit of tuning

S2000 with torque. Excellent combinaion you have brought together there. Owned an ap1 s2k identical to yours, although they are fun you had to rev it to death to have fun. Also those f20's like oil just as much as petrol. I actually broke mine because it was worth more in parts at the time, if there's anything you need parts wise, interior odds and sods, give me a shout and I'll check what I have left.

Think I have everything I need there's a few bits of trim and all the clips in the boot that are missing
I've just ordered a radio cover door speakers are missing

I'm realy pleased with the conversion I've done over 300 trouble free miles so far
I cleaned out the throttle body as it was full of sludge and went round and cured a few small boost leaks today
Plan is to drive it to lemans 2017 with my lad (not such a lad anymore as he's taller than me lol)

[avengertec]

So I spent the morning setting up the suspension I found the bilstien ride hieght recommendations and it feels a lot better as it was very stiff (to much preload) I will run through the camber setting next now ride hieght has been set

[avengertec]

I've done over 800 miles in now and no real issues just a water leak and a little bit of adjustment needed on the bulk head clearance

Oh my god. What a good idea. Have been noticing lately how many Mazda Rx8s there are for sale with knackered engines.....

[avengertec]

Yes there is a lot of rx8s popping up

[g52oyc]

Found old pic of mine, I considered various engine conversions after selling the original setup but ended up gutting and scrapping the remains..

So Monday just gone it had its 1 st track day
And we survived doing over 40 almost faultless laps of bedford autodrome
Now we weren't the fastest or the prettiest but I think I had the most fun and I was very proud of my son
We set out to build a cheapish track day car with some potential for upgraded later on
He has learnt a lot along the way and annoyingly is quite a good driver
I've still got a boost controler to fit as I decided that it would be best to leave it standard for his and it's 1st day
Bearing in mind he has never driven rwd or anything with more than 90 hp
Next we will prob look at booking one at brands hatch after a few tweeks to suspension and a couple of other bits
