Bolts & WashersMike Chang's 2004 S2000PropulsionThe F22C in Chang's S2000 is stock from the valve cover to the oil pan, with the most egregious bolt-on mod being the 52mm TWM independent throttle bodies. Bad air leaves first through a Comptech 4-1 header, then out through an HKS Hyper exhaust system.
Fuel is introduced to the intake charge via RC 440cc/min injectors, which is controlled by an AEM EMS stand-alone ECU. A Koyo radiator, a Mugen fan switch, a Spoon thermostat, a Blitz radiator cap, and an ARC heatshield/cooling plate serve the high-revving N/A powerplant's cooling needs. Power reaches the ground via a Mazda RX-7 4.4:1 final drive attached to a Kaaz 1.5-way, clutch-type limited-slip differential.
StanceThe AP2 sits on race-bred Buddy Club coilovers sheathed in Swift springs (14 kilograms in front and 12 kilos in the rear). Swift front and rear sway bars hinder body roll, and the chassis' rigidity can be attributed to a set of Cusco front and rear strut tower bars coupled with a Spoon X-brace.
ResistanceProject Mu B-force pads sit under stock calipers to enhance the otherwise OEM brake setup. Motul is Chang's fluid of choice.
Rims & RubberChang picked his wheels a little differently than most. 17x9-inch Volk CE28N's sit on all four corners, as opposed to a staggered setup that encourages the S2K's natural tendency to understeer. On the street, Chang wraps the Volks in Falken FK-451's. On the track they've got Hoosier R compounds.
FashionOutside: The exterior of Evasive's S2000 screams function and form. No part was added without a reason. Up front, a Mugen splitter provides downforce, translating into better braking and high-speed stability. Out back, a Veilside V1 wing helps the rear tires stick and keeps the car pointed in the right direction. An OEM hardtop sits in place of the stock rags to lower the drag coefficient and offer a better field of view for the driver.
Inside: Clean and simple: Mugen S1 bucket seats, Takata harnesses, Mugen steering wheel and ARC. titanium ball shift knob.
