The S2000 S.V. from Amuse is the next project I had in mind. The project is now complete and here it is.


STEP 1 - STOCK VERSION

251 HP at 8300 RPM


Stock test run: Tsukaba Circuit

- The car have a great acceleration and great handling (rigid suspension which dont make the car diving while brake/corneling; sensible turning response; stability and grip (even with Sports soft (S3) tires - no spin out).


Power and Speed Session:

Speed: Did a good 254.48 km/h (note: Sensitivy of the turning response made me hitting the inside wall while corneling).

Power Torque*:
- The car did an average 0'14.411 at the 400m
- Average 0'25.839 at the 1000m

*Note: Need a triple plate clutch badly for much rapid shifting.



STEP 2 - TUNING & SETTING


Tuning

- No racing exhaust (Why ? Cause the stock one has a beautiful sound :))
- Racing brakes
- Port & Polish
- Engine Balancing
- ECU chip
- Triple plate clutch
- Racing flywheel
- Carbon Driveshaft
- Stage 3 Turbine kit
- Racing Tires: Medium (R3)
- Rigidity increased
- Stage 3 weight reduction

- Full Custom suspension: Ride height: Front: 66mm/Rear: 66mm - Camber: Front: 2.5/Rear 1.5



Test run at Nurburgring

- First impression: Awesome acceleration for a FR Japanese car. Still having the problem of sensitive turning response that make me brake before I get in the grass.
- Middle of the course: Great speed and acceleration but the suspension is too low. Its hard bumping and makes me lose control.
- Straight line: Not a great top speed, 272 km/h.
- Lap time: 8'01.054 <--- ''Can do better then that...''



Power Torque

400m: 0'12.621 <--- ''Not bad, still to fix some things up''
1000m: 0'21.766 <--- ''Thats what I'm talkin about''



STEP 3 - FIXING THE SETTINGS

- Suspension: Low; cause hard bumping and makes lose control. [[Passing the ride height from 66 to 70]]
- Transmission: Hitting the revline too fast, only getting 272 km/h. [[Adding a full custom transmission and setting the ''Auto-Setting'' to level 15]]

Test Course run: Test of speed after transmission fix: 305 km/h



STEP 4 - FINAL TESTS AND RESULTS


Test #1: Curving test at Tsukaba Circuit

Impressions: AWESOME ! Totally insane car to drive. Real good curving and corneling. This is simply amazing !

Session Record: 0'55.415



Test #2: Nurburgring run

I can't explain the feeling of this car. Its smooth but fast as hell. Its like driving a Skyline with nervousity.

First Lap: 7'38.871 <--- ''Way too fast, I crashed 2-3 times...''
Second Lap: 7'30.170 <--- ''Holy ****... I can't drive it for ****...''
Final Lap: 7'26.086 <--- ''Thats what I wanted !''



Test #3: Power & Speed

Power Torque:
- 400m: 0'12.105 <--- Really close for the 10s.
- 1000m: 0'21.630 <--- Perfect Time.

Speed: 305.3 km/h <--- Really good top speed


418 HP after Tuning



STEP 5 - Conclusion

The Amuse S2000 Street Version is a real good competition car for the import lovers. It has the awesome handling that all the drivers want, all that with the power under the hood to make one of the perfect cars in GT4. I'll suggest it as a really good car.
- Own it, Drive it, Love it :)
