Looks ace. It's what I would love to have if I eventually get rid of the Lude :)

Thanks for the shot in your superb S2000 last Saturday :D Its a little rocket 8-)
Expectations are always high when your involved-total quality is what springs to mind.
I love all the little touches that make it a JDM-BB4 production.

Very nice.

My only finishing touches would be a set of AP2 wheels & K&N typhoon (sound immense!)

Long overdue updates...

I think I previously forgot to mention that I bought colour coded facelift headlight washer jet covers for the front bumper a while back. No before or after pictures unfortunately, but you can see them in some of the pictures. I think they make a big difference to the black plastic ones normally found on the prefacelift.

I also replaced the sticking caliper with a refurbished caliper after a used replacment I had bought suffered the same fate and seized after only a few weeks! :evil:

The HEL braided lines went on at the same time and the calipers were painted and new dot 5.1 fluid.
Image
Image
Calipers before:
Image
And after:
Image

One of my rear wheel studs had been overtightened in the past and snapped when putting the wheel back on one day! You cannot replace the stud on the S2000 without splitting the hub as there is no gap to get the stud out in situ. So hub off, and 5 x new honda wheel studs and a new bearing for the hub when it gets split.
Image

It was long overdue but I eventually refurbished the rocker cover.

And bought a cold air feed to port air from the front bumper grill straight into the airbox.
Before fitting I wrapped it in Carbon effect vinyl. Very tricky but looks good I think.
Image
Image
Image
Image

I also wrapped the headrest surrounds while I was at it.
Image
Image

Then one day I discovered someone had keyed the car! :cry:
It was down to the base coat and round onto the tail light.
Image

The scratch on the plastic tail light sanded and polished out but the paint was too deep and my friend with a spray gun and I set about painting the rear 1/4.
Image
Image

Recent purchases have been Poly ARB bushes front and rear to improve the handling.
Image

and a exhaust mod that has been proving popular on the S2K site, to get a bit more 'sound' from the exhaust. Loving it so far, no drone as well! The best mods are free!
Image
Image
The extra pipework lets some of the exhaust gas go straight through the box without being silenced.

And purchased a hardtop stand and protective cover to properly store the roof.
Image
Image

And just today I bled the brakes as I wan't 100% happy with the feel - better now.
And pollished the nipple that commonly forms on the clutch slave cylinder pin, making the clutch feel heavy.
Image
After

A few pictures from when I am out enjoying it.
