Hello everyone! This is my Build thread to document my progress in building my track and weekend weapon, my new (to me) 2003 Spa Yellow S2000.

i flew up the 3rd of February, 2016 in response to a Craigslist add i have found for an s2000, I'm very particular with my cars and this one seemed to be a winner, look great in the add, one owner, Factory Hardtop, and 90,000 miles.

it took a little convincing to have the seller see me, due to me asking to fly up the day he posted the add, but this is the s2000 i have been looking for, at the price i wanted to pay.

i have been very involved in the Euro-car community for sometime now (and still am, as i Daily a B8.5 6MT Audi S4)

cars i have owned in the past: 2012 Golf R (highly tuned and first car i tracked)



Build thread for those interested: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...vin-s-R-Thread

and my current S4( tuned by GIAC,(388AWHP) on Bilstein PSS10's w/ AWE track exhaust)





and the new member of the family (the day i picked her up and drove her 8 hours home):



and when she arrived home



and in her new parking spot =)





Current Purchased Performance Mods:

Enkei 17x9 ET 45 in F1 silver Mounted with 255/40/17 RS-3's
Stoptech Stainless steel brake lines


Current Cosmetic Mods:

New OEM emblems


Planned Modifications:

Race pads
Coilovers (leaning towards Ohlins DFV)
Roll Cage
Intake ( not sure what one as of yet)
Exhaust (again, not sure, i like quiet)
Dallas steering wheel wrap (yellow strip and black suede)

looking forward to updating this as i progress!!

took some time today and Clayed the car and followed up with a Glaze and wax, she looks new!!!

also, i removed all of the yellow "S" emblems on the car, the previous owner had them on the hubcaps /front and rear and the steering wheel (steering wheel was a pain to take off)

Took out my soft top today, removed the aftermarket hoop speakers that were on the car, and mounted my RPF1's in 255/40/17 RS-3's

man that soft top is heavy! also, it is a major PAIN in the ass to remove,

on the plus side i now know how to remove every single interior piece in the car!

had my first autocross day at fontana this last weekend!

only a custom manx buggy was able to beat my time of 32.506!!! super excited about the way the car feels when pushing her! and i only spun 3 times =)

so after getting disappointing compression numbers, that my PPI did not catch... i wanted to make sure before i dive into a head rebuild. so i bought a compression tester, and lord and behold...results were 240/240/200/240



REALLY disappointing considering that all of the other cylinders are PERFECT....but that's life. so i ordered a new super-tech valve-train to install next week. XD
