Good work, and good choice on the Ohlins. Hope they go as low as you will want though? Seem to recall the rears don't go down really low.

Get it finished!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think your headlight leveller bracket is attached to your lower arm up side down?

Its been a while since I've updated this thread, so thought I would get it going again.....

Its been a busy couple of years with moving house and having another daughter so the car had to go on hold.

I ended up selling the S2000 after owning it for 6 years. I kept the engine and transmision to biuld a kit car for track/ time attacks, instead of doing VTEC challange due to the high cost of competing in a race series using an S2000. After buying the kit car and starting the biuld I soon realised that I really missed the S2K! so after a long think I decided to look for another one in a condition ready for track/ time attacks and also to take out on the roads. After a few months of looking with no luck, a mate of myn had one stored with a siezed engine, one that I tried to buy previously, so I gave him another offer and he accpeted

Kit Car pics:





This was just prepeing the chassis to fit the F20C, it would have been a great car to drive, but I really wanted aother S2K so this had to go.

This is my new S2000:






I bought it with seized pistons, but I have an F20 all ready to go in

Feels good to have an S2000 back!

The car needs a bit of TLC and an engine and its ready to have some fun in. It really is in good condtion, much better than my last one.

I've preped a f20C I had in the gargage ready to drop in, hopfully next week if I get time:













I plan on running this enigne for the time being and rebiulding another F20C along side to a higher spec. The head is compete with titanium valve springs/ retainers and valves, just need to sort the bottom end out which I havent decided on yet.

Its got good potential and seems very well done from what I've looked at so far. The bottom end went just after you was going to buy it Mark.
