Default Ouhei's Build Thread

I'll do my best to keep this thread updated as my build progresses. My original plans for the car were pretty basic and finances were tight, since then I've been fortunate enough to turn my finances around and will be rebuilding the car in 2013 into my ideal daily driven s2000.


This is my 2nd s2000, formerly had an AP1 a few years ago that I'l always regret selling. You can find my old Spa here: https://www.s2ki.com/...opic=599435&hl=

Anyways, let's get started.

The day I picked her up, certified used at a Honda dealer about 2.5 hours away:



The following weekend I gave it a full exterior detail, the paint was in pretty good shape but a good amount of swirling and nicks from normal driving.

Pulled into a friends garage to keep out of the sun:


Dealer sticker coming off


Removing the s2000 fender emblems



All taped up for the buffer


Don't mind the handsome devil, that's just my paint being a mirror


Finished!







I also installed an iPod connection for the OEM headunit

You can find it here: http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/stor...MLINK1_V2X.html

Previous setup:
- CR Front Lip
- Shaved s2000 emblems
- CF OEM Style Hard Top
- D2 Coilovers
- Enkei RPF1's 17x9 +45
- Bridgestone RE760 245/40
- Project Kics r26 Lug Nuts
- Moddiction Anvil II SS Shift Knob
- Garage Defend 2.5" Shift Extension
- iPod Connection for OEM Headunit
