Still one of my favorite S2000s of all time. Perfection, especially on the TEs.

Regamasters > than TE's! I would never sell those wheels.

I follow you on IG man, such a clean build! Definitely an inspiration for me

Thanks a lot man!

Unfortunately, the Regas are gone! Will always be one of my all time favorite wheels, but I got tired of switching wheels and having to readjust my ride height and alignment for each set since they are all different specs. Not to mention keeping up with cleaning white wheels on a car that spends most of its time outdoors.

Thanks man!

Well next month marks 7 years with this car so I thought I'd post a 2017 recap. I started out the year excited to change a few things and do some more track days, but unfortunately I only ended up doing one track day and only got a few new parts on the car. Hopefully I'll have a little bit more free time and motivation to install some of the parts over the winter, but I'd be lying if I haven't had my eyes on other cars or projects around the house.

Here is a recent photo of the car from October at an annual show I host in NJ called First Class Fitment.


Just a couple photos of the Eibach Sway bar and the new Limited Edition Alcantara Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel, with my Limited Edition Blue Horn button from my other wheel.







I also picked up a set of Toyo R888R tires for my Advan RZ's to use as a track setup.






And here are some photos of the parts I have waiting to go on the car since I haven't shared them...

I picked up a Spoon Rigid Collar Kit, Black radiator stays, and magnetic drain bolts for the trans and oil pan.



I've always loved the reverse scoop styling of the Powerhosue Amuse Hood, but I just can't justify the $4k-5k+ price tag. So I worked with my friends at ICB Motorsports to source what I believe is one of the first Swift Sports FRP hoods in the US. Still need to get it painted, and have just been hesitating since I will probably respray the entire front end to repair some rock chips.

Once I get the hood painted I'll weigh the OEM hood and the Shift Sports and compare the two. I'm not expecting much of a difference or weight loss, but I figure some people may be curious.

It took over 8 months to arrive, but I think it should compliment the rest of the car nicely and is a great alternative to the Amuse hood.












Aside from the J's racing header and a Mugen Oil cap I don't have much going on under the hood of my car, so I decided it was time to change things up a little. I worked with Mark at Origin Fabrication to customize an '06+ AP2 valve cover and outfit with -10AN fitting in the OEM locations for the PCV and the breather port. I also purchased one of his dual oil/coolant catch cans and had both coated in a Cerakote finish. I have all the new spark plug and valve cover gaskets, but I want to do a valve adjustment, and spark plug replacement when I get around to installing the valve cover. I just need to get the AN fittings and hose and I'll have everything I need. I also picked up a set of the Origin Fabrication front upper control arm offset bushings to get a few more mm's of clearance up front.

Very interested to see how the fitment is on the hood.

Hope to see this at a NASA Northeast | National Auto Sports Association North East event in 2018.

I'll be sure to post an update when I get around to test fitting it!

Thanks Steve!

Thanks Dave! What's up with your S?

I hope to make it out to at least one 2018 NASA event. I was at the Pocono event this year, but I was wearing my photographer hat that day and covering the event for Turn14/Front Street.
