Default The beginning of my project...

Hi guys

Been on here since I bought my S2000 off a mate. He'd had it 3 years and it needed a bit of TLC but I'm very happy with how its coming along.

Here are a few pics of what I've been up to since I got her when she was completely standard.

A very loud exhaust is coming next and some titanium look wheel nuts are on the way.

Look forward to hearing what you all think of the bits I've done so far and of the Rota T2R's as I havent seen them on a S2000 before.

Cheers guys.

Put that air box back on. That intake is a terrible setup how you have it now! Will get awful heat soak. To back to stocker or buy a quality intake!

Don't worry I'm well aware how shite the intake is at the moment. Was just desperate for a bit more noise. The old airbox was broken too so...

I'm thinking a 3" Berk for max volume. I'm not a hooligan I just love the sound of the berk I've heard on you-tube and on here.

Will be getting a k&n gen II or a long tubed AEM one. Guess the intake that reaches all the way down to behind the front bumper will be taking in cooler air than a Gen II?

Thoughts?

I'd go for the k&n fipk personally. Cheap, easy install, nice sound and gains a few hp with no chance of sucking in water.

Little update.

Nothing hugely exciting but they finish the wheels off nicely.



K&N Gen II coming soon and custom exhaust.

Excuse the crappy pic. Taken on the phone.

I just installed the fipk a week ago. Amazing sound and very slight performace gain.
