S2KI Honda S2000 Forums - ClemsonWill's 2nd S2000 build

Okay, so I have been around on the S2000 forum for quite sometime. I have had fun with build threads (or journals) in the past so I thought I would give it a try again. But first I will give you a bit of my auto history just for fun.

In 1999 I purchased a Black Mitsubishi Eclipse GS OZ edition. This was the first car I really gave me the mod bug. I modded it with a number of bolts-ons including CBE, Test pipe, intake, header, coilovers, strut braces, wheels, etc. It's was definitely a fun car but a bit of trial and error for sure.

Only picture I can find.

I really liked this car but after 5 years and 100K miles I needed to change it up. So I decided to purchase a 2006 Suzuka blue Honda S2000, a car I had admired since high school. (In fact I can remember my high school buddies and I driving down to the dealership to see the first S2000 they pulled off the truck. A 2000 NFR. I loved it.) So I slowly started modifying the 06 Suzuka.
T1R Dual Sparrow, Toda header, Hondata Flashpro, Volk RE30s, OEM front lip, Alpine head unit and speakers, etc.

I loved the S2000 but I thought that more power would be fun. I was really came very close to buying a 2010 Corvette Grandsport but I just couldn't see spending that kind of money on a car that would not be driven much. So I went with a something a little less expensive. On July 30th, 2010 I purchased a brand New Magnetic Black 370z Touring/Sport with floor mats, kick plates, and nav.

After spending a couple of years modifying this car, I was very happy with it. Stillen intakes, Fast Intentions LTH and catback exhaust, custom UpRev tune, H&R Springs, Volk TE37s w/ RE11s, Z1 Oil Cooler, and a host of other minor modifications.

(*** Photobucket is terrible. I will have to add another picture of the Z in later. ***)

In 2013 my life was heading in a different direction. My family was growing so I decided to sell the Z. I knew I wanted something different, with a backseat. My dad had a CJ7 growing up and I spent some time driving it in college. Loved the doorless open air ability so I bought a 2012 Wrangler. My wife was ecstatic. She has never really understood my obsession with the driving experience. She just wanted something she could enjoy too. Hence the automatic transmission. :banghead:

Modifying the JK has been a whole new experience for me. I have the scars to prove it. Plus, I have learned a good bit about off-roading along the way. It has all been fun and I love my "not so little anymore" JK. It's great being able to easily take your family along on your adventures.

In the end, I have always missed my S2000 so the search began to get back in the seat of one. After months of searching for the right car at the right price, I found another 2006 S2000. This time in Berlina Black. I have always been partial to black cars. So here is where my new journey begins. My current goal is to enjoy the car at some of the local Auto-X events and hopefully make some trips to the mountains.
