Not my idea setup, but I bought it purely because it is a CR and already had plans to bring it back to NA before purchase. This is not a collectors CR, it has been through a rough life and actually holds a rebuilt title. Which I am actually fine with, it drives straight as an arrow and I am not building a show car. The previous owner actually brought the car back to life, replacing the differential and body work.

A few weeks into owning the car my uncle was slightly drunk and rammed into the bumper Hard to see in picture but bumper is scratched, emblem bent and edge of hood is scratched.

And so the build begins! (first few post will be whatever pictures I have, I didn't take pictures of a lot of stuff)

I was never a very fan of boosted s2000s, it has enough power for me. So first things first, removed the stupid charger! Unfortunately I only took one picture of the removal process

Shout out to Mario username- jr94513 for helping me. He is in the Brentwood/Concord CA area if you ever need any work done on your car, fair prices and very cool dude. :thumb up:



There was still a ticking noise after removing the supercharger which I originally thought was one of the SC pulleys. It ended up being the water pump pulley, cracked in 4 different places.

After collecting parts for a few weeks, I installed everything in one day. It is too bad I didn't take pictures of all the parts, but hopefully this build thread will motivate me to for the future.

Parts include:
OEM Battery/Fuse box heat shield
Koyo Raditor
Nitto 70MM Test pipe
T1R EM Dual Sparrow exhaust
KW V3s
Spoon X brace
Diff Collars
Mugen Intake

Giving the KWs a good cleaning and also threw on the GC top hats.




What the engine bay looks like after removing SC and parts installed.

ABP is my favourite CR colour. Glad you could give it some life despite the rebuilt title. Actually probably a good car to modify as if it were a clean title most people would be mad at you for doing anything to it haha

Hey dude thanks for the shout out. Cars looking good . How are the kWs treating you so far?

kmac

Yeah I still think the same way haha. In the end these cars are meant to be driven and I feel that the mods I made are an improvement.

kmac

Thanks man, she's coming along haha. KWs seem cool so far, set to the softest setting will dial them in once I get an alignment. Im going on vacation soon but when I get back Ill be hitting you up.
