Bubbels 2005 Imola Orange
Hey guys, I'm Bubbels and I bought myself a 2005 Imola Orange S2000 two months ago. It needs some love and in time it might get a full respray (original color) to make it perfect again. But for now I'm just enjoying the car as it is, just gave it a full service at the local Honda dealer just to be sure though.
Also bought a set of RPF1's and an OEM hardtop the day after we got it. Original wheels were painted black but they have some curb rash so they'll get refinished in a few months hopefully.
Lots of plans for it in the (near) future
Here's a pic of how it looks now:
Our cat was toast so we bought a new color-matched one (j/k, J's decat is on the way):
Here's the other car we own, 2000 Phoenix Yellow Honda Integra Type-R DC2:
And my previous car, 2001 Grand Prix White Honda Civic Type-R EP3:
We still have the full Mugen kit for it including 17" MF10 wheels:
^ Fitment of this wing is beyond anything I have ever seen, OEM Civic Type-R wings fit like crap compared to this masterpiece.
Genuine parts ftw

Such a great mix of cars, I love them all, that would be a great stable with all three. Mugen parts are sweet. VGS wheel is very cool. Look forward to the build

Thanks! Will be a slow build I think, a lot of S2000 parts we want seem to be quite expensive.
The yellow DC2 was only available in Switzerland, only 56 yellow ones were sold there and it was not available elsewhere in Europe.
Not sure if we'll keep the VGS wheel, I snapped it up because I wanted a prefacelift airbag and the wheel just looked good but I don't know where to get the spline changed here in Belgium. Buddy of us has one for over 7 years now and still hasn't found a shop to change the spline... And I still have the J's Racing wheel as well
One day we'll probably get an EP3 again, it's a great car even though there's not much interest for them in the USA. But there was no Type-R EP3 available in the USA so it makes sense, without the high revving K20 engine there's not much to them really.

I had an ep3 a few years back , it was a great daily driver, a bit boring powertrain with just the base engine but still a great car. I actually tracked it a few times and it ran surprisingly well.
