i cant remember that.

im pretty sure the mods started while on P's so there was no easy period.

although I dont know why I was scared, it was a wagon at the end of the day.

excellent, but the previous owner changed the mufflers so it has a terrible drone on the freeway (it's hard trying to source stock parts for an S2000). Probably the most fun I've had driving a car and certainly the most fun I've owned.

1) remove muffler

2) attach straightpipe

3) ????????

4) profit

That was the case with my Skyline, I have more boring plans for the S2000

not too tail happy in this weather? :P

Haven't had any trouble as of yet, it comes with 225s on the rear so they do okay in the wet. I've been very careful on corners and only hit vtec about 2-3 times because it hasn't stopped raining since I picked it up.

which is why I want to keep the exhaust stock :)

Future plans will be BBS LM, coilovers, front lip and spoiler. There isn't much point in performance mods with Hondas because you spend a lot of money and get little in return. Needs a new headunit too.

good ol' vtak :P

must be such a drain not being able to try stretch it's legs a bit after getting it due to the weather :/

although some rear squirmish action could always bring a smile to your face haha.

+1 induction noise though, prob sound cool on le honda

you have what i like to call, BBSitis, usually caused by hanging around roman for too long LOL

i came close to buying an s2000 too, i sort of regret it, and i sort of dont.

regret because they look so nice and go really well

dont regret because im not the smallest flamin mongrel, and id look hilarious in it.

    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
