updating with new pictures of the cwest wing..looks like im not going to keep it..but still looks awesome

 

here for another update. Went with my cwest gt300 livery theme using mash up of 2001-2003 s15 gt300 liveries. Instead of using the cwest wing i listed that for grabs and got a voltex type 7 in 1600mm from evasive cause they had 1 in stock lol. just got back from the fake h2oi event in ocean city and have some potato pics of the livery. will update when i get high res photos from someone that used my car for a shoot. The first 2 are before the wing install and shows the reverse side. The next two are with my buddies mugen kitted crz(side note a secondary cat delete and muffler delete makes these things pop and crackle sounds awesome for a hybrid), and the last two are on the way back from the ocean city chaos.

 

If the S2 manifold caused a 12 hp increase, why take it off?

 

casting issues with the skunk2 manifold for coolant had leaky thermal gaskets, went to an oem gasket and blew that car started consuming coolant on cylinder 1. went with a proper tune at inlinepro and made the same power

 

back with some late updates since its been snowing and theres salt everywhere. i dont drive when they lay the salt down but went and got center caps for the weds and deleted the soft top for ballade hardtop with ballade metal front and rear brackets. It just fit ok i wouldnt recommend this over a rsg or forbidden. Now just waiting for it to warm up and the tracks to open back up. Probably gonna repowdercoat the rollbar to match body color and powdercoat the valve cover yellow to match the calipers. after that i think ill be done with aesthetics.

 

thoroughly enjoyed this thread.

 

another small update came across an awesome ebay coupon and bought a na1 nsx-r horn button time to switch out the honda access horn button


as well as doing something just for the fun of doing it i got a bunch of raw titanium bots for stuff in the engine bay like fender bolts, valve cover, spark plug cover, steering wheel bolts and burned them myself. now a pro at burning titanium lol it all came out pretty well i think. ill be putting these in tonight after work

 

although i really liked the ballade carbon oem top i came across a silverstone oem top locally and couldnt pass on the price. older s2000 guy had all the pieces to go with it and was the original owner. i had a buddy of mine come over and detail it since it hadnt been since 04 when original owner first bought it.





Also got my ballade rollbar back from the powder coater. No more orange went with the closest metallic silver to silverstone. i got this back after the hardtop and didn have enough hads to take it off by myself so put the bar back in with the top on. Most fun ive had in a long time!

 

Love the oem top, huge upgrade! Love the car man!

 

First time having the car out this year shaking the cobwebs loose. man i missed driving this thing. also swapped my wing stands out for the renegade carbon stands
