Default Har-vey's HKS SC S2000

Hi All

My name is Steve and I have recently managed to get myself an S2000, not intentionally may I add. I have been a member on here for a few years as I use to own a pearl white GT s2000 around 4 years ago. My girlfriend has loved the s2000s ever since I pick my first one up and only recently was in a position to buy one. We search hard for a facelift 04/05 model with reasonable mileage, not easy now that they are going up in value. A forum member on here popped up a feeler thread so we were straight in contact with him and a day later on the road driving down to Wales to inspect. The car was exactly what she wanted and so was soon parked up on our drive. Upon her buying the car it gave me the itch again as I forgot how much fun these cars were. Now onto how I managed to become to owner ......... It was less than a month of driving before the girlfriend decided that here boring 1.2l corsa was more suited to here DD and I couldn't bare to see it go so soon so I decided I could do with a new weekend car.

Here's a picture of the old S2 and one of my three cars as they sit now. My DD ep3, e30 with a F20 (not yet running) and now the s2000

Steve, It's nice to see you back here! I remember your old car as the colour was quite rare. for the E30! We need more photos of your new S2000.

Decided to clean out the rear arches last night as they were capped in mud. Got a little involved and ended up under sealing them as well and also under the rear bumper. Quite happy with the results

What kind of underseal did you use?

How did you find the application?

I used Hammerite underseal with added waxoil. I've used it before and had good results. I like the brush on kind as I find it easier
