Default Baizas3's timeline/build thread ( Suzuka Voltex Build )

Sup guys! I picked up my 05 Suzuka blue s2000 back in May of 2010. My car has gone threw many changes since I bought it so here is the timeline to catch you up to what it currently looks like. Enjoy!

The day that I bought my stock S2k.

Here were the first couple of mods that I purchased with in the first month of owning it. AEM V2 CAI, Apexi WS2 exhaust system, Oem Hardtop and Tein S tech lowering springs.

A couple months after that I hooked up with a company call TOP1 that made custom aero products and had them make me a Rear diffuser and Front spilitter for my AP2 front bumper.

I got a great deal on some Work wheels so I ended up selling my stocks.

I also picked up a Cusco 6 point roll cage for the nice summer weather when I go top down. This how it look for the rest of 2010-summer of 2011.

Summer of 2011 I decide to sell my 18" Work wheels and picked up some used 17" Work CR Kai's. The new Work wheels needed some TLC so I found a local powder coating shop and had the wheels, Valve cover and roll cage redone.

2012 was a new year meaning a new look for my car. I decide to sell the aero products and ended up buying a ASM style front bumper. The Work CR Kai's were also sold and replaced with some 17" gold BBS LM. While doing the transformation Top1 started to develop Carbon fiber and Carbon Kevlar aero products so I had to pick up a rear diffuser in both materials.

Towards the end of 2012 I got inspired to change up my car once again due to a track day with the local folks. So I ditched the BBS wheels and bought some Enkei RPF1's off of a buddy of mine. I also sold the 6 point roll cage and bought a Cusco 4 point with harness bar. The new Enkei wheels came in black so since I already had black wheels I decide to do something extreme on the color theme.

In the beginning of 2013 I found a great deal on a used Authentic Mugen hardtop.

At this point I wanted to start purchasing more Authentic pieces and build a fully function car.

I'm more of a fan of the early stages. But I do like how the car sits, you know, with all the tire on the ground.
