Haven't posted in awhile.. but here is a quick pic of how she sits before winter get here.

I don't know how much of a "build" this will be but I just wanted to have a place to show and keep track of things I've bough and done to the S2000.

Feb. 2013.
Got it home and in the garage it goes. 2002 Suzuka Blue.


Still snow on the ground.


Fresh


At the bros shop getting all fluid and sparks changed


Sunny days


Drove it and enjoyed it the way it was till mid Sept. First "upgrade". Ce28n Volk Gold 17x7.5 +50 squared
(8years old according to the barrel stickers and the gold has faded to almost pink in some lighting)
Looking to refinished to matte black or buy more aggressives wheels down the line.


Next upgrade was to be a Voltex Street front bumper but asking around the venders came up emptied on anyone having one in stock ready to ship (understandable but i hate waiting hah)
So a shift in plans and I went on looking for a Mugen hardtop rep as the next mod.
Bought a forbidden-usa top. After two weeks wait which felt like forever, top arrived but due to shipping mishaps seem as tho something punctured the box right in the middle causing a small dent/crack in the middle to the top.
To much of a hassle for me too care and to wait any longer so today I figured I'll try the install myself.
The day I got the top.
Oct 4. 2013 Friday. "put" it on just to see how it looks

And then to today
Oct. 6 Sunday
Little brother flaked on me again and so I decided to tackle the install myself.
Reading and researching and I felt somewhat confidence in doing it alone.
Hah

Half-way on. Blankes and towels to wrap and protect the paint and anything else. lol

2 Hours 2 beers and 4 cigs later and I'm done in time to catch the pats game... very happy(for now) with the fit and a quick test drive.

Looks good. Be careful opening the trunk until you get some spacers
