Well... they didn't all have to be right.

Love how all the S2000 guys come to this forum to talk shit about our car LOL. Meanwhile @CSG Mike, also an S2000 guy, who does meaningful testing says the BRZ is superior. Then all the S2000 d1ckriders get all mad. This shit makes me ROFL.

I believe he said the chassis was superior which it is (convertible will almost always lose).

Someone give me a BRZ chassis with a s2k suspension and engine.

I think that they did the swap, because, now we are talking about it. Also, the S2000 is not as trendy as the FR-S as a platform. If you have a shop, another 2jz build is not going to put you on the radar. (well maybe it will) Anyway, the S2000's engine sound is enough for some to think about it.

I loved my AP1.
S2000 suspension > FR-S
FR-S practicality > S2000
S2000 Rev limit > FR-S
FRS cost to mod < S2000

Why can't we just love the cars for what they are?

**Cue "Why can't we be friends?" song**

I love both the Twins and the S2k but had to choose between one. If I had the funds, I'd go buy a BRZ right now as a DD.

Damn right. Why settle. I really enjoy the BRZ, but if it wasnt for my wife I would have the S2K. A blend of the two would fix my dilemma.

How many people would it bother, that I'm currently searching for a WRX to daily?

Lots lol... but not me. I grew up with a STi poster on my wall.

That being said, if Honda built a BRZ with a F22C, I'd buy it.

Put me down on that list.

Well that was my DD setup until i decided to trade for the Golf R. Cushier ride and hatch make the car better for my family needs. But I still think the WRX is the better bang for the buck. One of my saleman drives a 15 WRX. I get to drive his car at the local AXs, and with a COBB stage 2 on E85...that car is a little rocket. Not perfect, but a damn fine car.

Considering my dad has an extra AP1 S2000 engine from his 2JZ S2000 he was thinking of doing this next. These engines make power way easier than the fa20

You have my attention sir.

I wonder what the cost of this was.

Right now its at a shop finishing up the wiring, the car is having problems with the steering (I think he said something to do with the tie rod touching something) so they might go Mustang rack, and the wiring had a problem where the alternator wasn't charging.

I'll update with the engine just sitting there in my backyard lol

If he's not doing it and the price is right, I'll buy that ap1 engine and transmission.

Oh I was more interested in teh F2xC in the BRZ...

Most likely it won't be for a while, hes still scared about the A/C situation as he heard A/C is controlled through the ECU and if he doesn't have a good standalone it won't work :(

I had to do the piece of paper cause it looks a little to JDM Engine Depoty lol

He'll prob sell it by this winter if he doesn't chuck it into a AE shell or a BRZ so I for sure will contact you if anything.

Well I sure as hell wasn't going to make a coffee table out of it.

Sounds like you've done some fun testing, can you point me in that direction?

I've been looking everywhere but I can't find the stiffness number for the BRZ chassis. S2000s are around 22KNm/deg, which kicks ass in comparison to Miata's 5k and MINI R52's 7k. MINI R53 is right up there at 22ish kNm/deg.

Does anyone have the number for our chassis?
