Goddamn that's a nice color. Never understood why the US gets stiffed on colors. Guess I shouldn't complain too much; we usually get everything else. I'd love to own a Sunset Mauve Pearl with the brown interior....The orange, lime green, navy, sunset purple colors are all so good.....If those were available here I'd have such a hard time choosing.

Thanks Bouford, I hope it does make some difference as they're not cheap

Definately some nice colors here in Europe! But the funky colors like Lime green, Imola orange and Monza red are quite rare.
I've never seen my favorite color combo for sale here though, GPW with tan interior. I think this was US market only. And we didn't get the CR or Type-S version either

Cleaned up the wheels, they have some brake dust, small curb damage and tires are wrong sizes for me (more stanced/stretched) so decided to have the wheels repaired and powdercoated.
New tires are AD08R 255/35/18 square, I should have everything back somewhere next week.

Looking good. Imola is a color that really needs to be seen in person. The depth in the pearl is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

^ Thanks! The pearl definately looks unique. Bright orange/gold directly in the sun and more of a copper color (sometimes I even think there's a hint of purple) in the shadow.

Wheels are back from the powdercoater! Color is in between the original silver/grey finish and the SBC finish from Enkei, new AD08R tires 255/35/18 all around:




Also sprayed the backend black because the orange crash bar was visible with the J's rear bumper, car is going in for paint in March:

Since it's my 300th post, might as well post my latest purchase.
J's Racing 3D GT wing, can't wait to fit it on my spare trunk I've also ordered the CR trunk reinforcements and springs.

Downdate: the car was supposed to go into the body shop in March to have the rear arches widened but unfortunately the owner of the body shop is moving his business to another location and he doesn't have time for the S2000 so we'll probably not have it widened and repainted this year. That's a bummer because in May we're going to the Euromeet in Italy and the car won't be the way I wanted it to be.

Another downdate was the Bride Zeta 3 seats didn't quite fit the car as good as I thought they would (they were size large) so I sold them again (also to fund for the bodywork in March lol).
But anyway, they hit the doorpanels on both sides and I'm only 1m60 and the Buddy Club rails didn't allow me to slide forward enough so I had trouble reaching the pedals.

Not sure what to do next. Maybe interior first or get the Integra running and driving.
I did get some very nice Christmas presents for the S, I'll post a picture soon

Also did the oem airbox mod today, thinking about using a J's Racing replacement filter for now.

Let's hope this turns out ok:





As much as I love the Cusco blue, I just don't think it works well with Imola Orange and due to our strict laws in Belgium I also want it to be a little more stealthy.
So we delivered the roll bar and lower bars to the powdercoater yesterday to have it coated in a more neutral color.
