Honda"s S2000 was a celebration of the legendary S-series roadsters. What happened when Charles San Gil put a LS2 in it?The Honda S2000 AP1 was a well-respected sports car when it was first introduced. It had some tendencies to get a little loose under hard driving, but overall it was an amazing car from Honda. Its namesake is two-fold: first, the S is the designated lineage from Honda for all the rear-wheel-drive roadsters. Second, it was only two-liters (2000cc) in displacement with the F20C. It is also considered a front-midship engine thanks to the number one cylinder being behind the centerline of the front shock towers, giving it a near perfect weight balance.<br />Now, while this is great, the F20C did leave something to be desired for some speed freaks. Charles San Gil is one of those people. So he took out that two-liter, four-banger, and replaced it with something with four more cylinders: the LS2. Despite that gain of four more pistons, the engine still resides behind the front shock towers. The finished product is the widebody LS2000, or as San Gil calls it, the “LS2K”. #gallery-6 { margin: auto; } #gallery-6 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-6 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-6 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ <br style="clear: both" />
