Rolling fenders is not a reversible modification.

True.

I was very reluctant to doing it as well since i have an 08 with Low Miles but a set of wheels came up that i just couldn't pass on so i went ahead and just rolled them. I plan on tracking the car and i need as much rubber as i can get.

Keep up the great work.

I did the rolling and pulling of fenders on my 2004. I really do not think its the end of the world if people roll their fenders...but, with the CR I do want to try to preserve the car as much as possible while still using it as it was intended, and overall just enjoying the car. Since I bought the car I have always cared about re-sale, which meant keeping the fenders stock just in case I were to put it up for sale. Well based on where I am now in life, I will most likely hold on to the car for many years to come so I may end up rolling the fenders if I need to. Bought a house and starting a family so buying a different car (all cars I want are twice the price) is very unrealistic so I will enjoy what I have!!!

You don't have to roll fenders to fit rubber!! Just buy the right offset wheels

Thank you!

Spent the time typing this for a different post, so copying it over to this thread.

My suspension and alignment progression - stock 04 s2000 -> UK alignment -> 04' on Tein RS -> non-staggered -> -3.0 camber all around, 3/16" rear toe in -> bought a stock cr -> cr w/ swift spec r springs -> -2.2 front camber, -2.8 rear camber, 3/16" rear toe in -> non staggered -> -3.1 camber front -2.8 rear camber, 3/16" rear toe in -> KW Clubsports -> -3.1 camber front -3.0 rear camber, 3/16" rear toe in -> next step is 1/16" total rear toe in.

I always have used 0 front toe and max caster.

Mission accomplished! With my 2004 I went from stock to the "fast" setup very quickly, and well before I developed as a driver. With my '04 I had way more car then I was capable of using.

One of my objectives and goals with the CR was to slowly progress with the car and develop my driving skills before I would upgrade and modify the car. My little progression write-up above shows that with the CR I slowly upgraded and modified the car, and I did it as my skills increased and I learned to maximize what I had.

I have been drooling over the new Porsche GT3 RS like everyone else lately. Decided to goof around and edited this picture to help invigorate my S2000 passion

Yeah that shot looks fantastic but it's no new GT3RS.....gosh I want one....in Apex Blue Pearl. If I won the lottery I would no joke get one and have it painted ABP.


yes.....yes.....that's correct. I don't want any of your factory Porsche colors...I want one from my Honda

Yea big time! I am going to wait a few more years though before moving on and I will have to think about it a lot. If I still want to do track days and such it will be very hard to leave the s2k. I love the Honda reliability and how cheap this car is to track!!
