[B]Any update on the Melb pics?
What's under the bonnet of the orange S2k?

 

Blue one is mine
Thank you for ur compliment davidM

 

Besides ones preference for colour.... the cars all have similar body kits and wheels, so I don't see how the non-blue ones could look inferior?!

Personally, I think they all look quite tastefully done (unlike the orange one above).... with my preference going to either the black (with white wheels) or blue (minus the stickers though)!!

 

Yes actually most of them using cwest bodykits (the 2 black S2Ks and the white with the CF hood)

I'm going to peel off the stickers soon since they are only for promotion purposes. We got sponsored by N1 Distribution which is a cwest distributor for Australia and New Zealand

To me they all look very different. The front is different on the other cars and noone of the 'other' fronts remotely appeals to me. The 'other' cars also have got a lot of non-integrated sideskits and noone of the appeal to me. The orange one has a rear skirt which is not my cup of tea either. The 'bubbly' hoods don't appeal to me either (and neither does the 2 color look).

These might appeal to some but not to me. The blue one looks very tastefull and well integrated ... it looks like it 'could' look like this from factory if they came out with a 'track' model - I like that very much.

You're welcome ... as I said, it's a very tastefull looking car and (IMHO) improves on the look of the original so you deserve it. IMHO, that is not the case with the others.

I'd even keep the rear-wing even though it's too much for me. The fact that tye US guys are cutting off 2+ secs off their laptimes with rear-wings 2x the size of that one is enough for me to keep it.

btw, how much lower than stock is your car? Also what springs have you got in there?

 

the rims on the blue s2000 look very nice....i guess those rims are p1 racing but i wonder what size is those rims..are they 17 or 18...

 

kg/mm DR Racing Springs, the company claims a 30mm drop from the stock car. The springs also give handling improvement too IMO. Quite worth it, since suspension for s2k is so expensive

17

 

kg/mm DR Racing Springs work well ,
Ive had them for a few months very happy with them

 

I've been told from experiences in the US that the stock shocks won't last very long after aftermarket springs. I don' t know how true it is

If you guys find the rear is a little bit more bouncy, you should be careful around twisties

 

I've had H&R's for ages now and there's no problem with handling. In fact I'd say it's improved. But they're only 15mm lower so no big change on the shocks.
