How it sits curently:




well after being on here for just over 2 years I figured I i might as well do a build thread. First came here from the mazdaspeed world after 5 years of ownership i lost my car in a accident on 12/19/2016. Car made just under 400whp and a built motor and gtx3071r so i figured it was time for something slower lol.


While driving around annapolis at 8:45 i spotted a s2000 sitting in a subaru sales lot so i figured why not check it out and 15 minutes after they closed i drove home in 07 silverstone ap2 with 20k miles. They were mad they had to stay late but i didn really care i wasnt leaving without the car lol.


That was in january 2016 and 4 months later insert first mod js 70 rs and a 70mm test pipe


then may 2016 ballade spec bc coilovers and an axialflow shifter




then june 2016 scored a used set of enkei pf01ss 17x9 +60 that were black..but powdercoated metallic orange



and one month later a ballade header, snorkel, and a zdx throttle body





fast forward to september bought a ballade rollbar and coated it to match my wheels as well as pick up a forbidden carbon painted hardtop



and then installed it


..and now were in october 2016 i had sold my hardtop and ordered an oem painted front lip and apr wing and to my luck they were delivered on the same day..awesome.





and same month went to get tuned using flashpro. car made 226whp tq i forget


When i got tuned it was using a evs 70ssp catback. In december 2016 i sold the evasive exhaust and scored a titanium exhaust


Fast forward to january 2017 i acquired the renegade short shifter, circuit hero hub and a momo tuner wheel





Whats next? more fast forwarding lol march 2017 rep voltex bumper and anointed aero apr gtc200 wing stands



now we jump to june 2017 i did some more things like a skunk2 ultra f series manifold. Many have said that this will do nothing for the f motor but i wanted to see for myself and made another 12 hp at 8500 with gains starting at 4700



now from june 2017 till about october i had a shop i was with talk me into a kraftwerks supercharger with sweet deals. Unfortunately it was a sloppy mess and the kit was sold after about 100ish miles and 3 break downs. These are the only pictures i have between that time lol i also got renegade to make me some endplates and got another carbon hardtop.




now were at the end of october 2017 and i have sold the carbon oem style top, voltex rep bumper and supercharger and bought a recaro pole position



and now were cathcing up this year march 2018 installed my schroth clubman harness and other recaro pieces





and finally getting to the track in april 2018. I really wanted to track all of summer of 2017 but i let someone talk me into something and that ruined my plans..oh well. I dont have the pictures anymore but on my way home from the track a VA state police officer rear ended me on the highway making an unsafe lane change. protec and swerve. but insurance took care of all that.


And now here we are in june 2018.i scored some used weds tc105n 17x9 +49 and i recieved my cwest v2 front and rear bumper had them painted and put em on as well as have an intake arm made so i can use my stock airbox again as well as the addition of renegade coolant overflow and catch can






and the most recent piece last week i got an oem nsx r horn ring and a n.o.s honda momo horn button

Had some work done this week. Just picked my car up from "the nsx whisperer" from doing a clutch change. went from a stage 3 action 6 puck to the act/oem combo with flywheel and added a sos clutch line. Im loving the pedal feel now! Had the worst pedal feel with the action which the mechanic found to be another botched install like my supercharger was. Good help is hard to find apparently lol.

Royaltrophy

nice build keep it going. looks like your having fun with the car. enjoy and keep posting updates.

Yellow&DK

Wow nice build up!! Enjoyed so much haha

Just have question about the your js racing 70rs.

Does it touching or rubbing underbody? (since 06+ have slightly different underbody compare to 00-05)

And what brand/size of hfc or tp are you running?

Thank you.

Grip_Skiddly

yea it did rest against the underbody in 2 different spots. i didnt feel like cutting up the exhaust or hammering in my floor so i sold it and thats when i got the evs 70ssp and as for the testpipe lol its an ebay 70mm i think i paid 70 dollars for lol

Yellow&DK

Oh I see haha yea I had many trouble with my jdm exhausts so.
Thanks for the reply! Keep up the great works!

Grip_Skiddly

Just got home from inlinepro with a new tune on the car..very much pleased. Went back to the stock intake manifold, sold the 70mm ti catback for a hks 75mm single, and went back to hondata.

JamesD89

Any reason you went for the OEM intake manifold over the Skunk 2 one?

Grip_Skiddly

the skunk2 manifold is really meant for boost lol..was done on a whim lol

update on the build ive decided to go full cwest and do a tribute build to an old jgtc car. Went looking for a cwest wing and scored one off yahoo auctions japan. Its a Cwest GTwing 2 with a 62" span. also scored some stands from upgarage but they arent tall enough so im going to get some made a little taller wing a little more angle.
