Those fender flares don't suit the Voltex front, at all.

Yeah, i definitely recommend the K24 swap, they handle SOOOOOO much better than an LS swap. Unless all you'll do with the LS S2k is drag race, i'd go with a k24 turbo swap

Your S looks amazing BTW, that is what i want my S to look like..... not exactly, just as clean as yours

Can't wait to see and hear it! I haven't really looked into the K swap. Staying NA, would the K series be better in the long run than the F20?

That's an incorrect statement, the LS platform won't throw off any balance, relocate the battery and you're back in balance. Only way that would happens is if you went cheap and did and iron 5.3. The K24 and the LS is apples to oranges, the LS is absolutely incredible in this and the RX7 when it comes to feel, it'll snap your head back.

So almost 2 years has passed and so many people have asked where the S2000 is! Like i've gotten literally one PM about it, lol no but seriously life got in the way since the last update. Became a homeowner again and became a step-dad so fun money was starting to trickle down. Then the fiance wanted to do a total career change so the fun money definitely stopped. But with selling parts on the side and good bonuses from work I was able to pick up a few things to add to Summer.

Major part was me selling the Mugen style hardtop. It was my first major exterior mod for Summer so it was a sad day letting it go. But with that money and a bit of saving I bought a new spoon sports style hardtop with side panel windows. Another piece fell on my lap was a spoon sports race style hood that a buddy of mine had. Packed my lunch that whole month but i think it was worth it. Got a set of aerocatch hood pins for it as well, didn't want to chance it with just the hood latch. Also finally put the AP2 style headlights and holy crap does that make a change to the look of it. Now i'm thinking of doing the tail lights, we'll see. New tires on my work wheels as well, the R888 were amazing when its not raining but with having to cancel meets and shows because it might rain was getting old so I put a fresh set of Falkens on 295s in the rear and 255 up front.

I think she's done for 2019, she's at 175k miles now so it maybe time to start doing a new clutch on her, she's on original one still and a few maintenance things for 2020. I don't want to do too much because i'm in the process of getting into another project once I put my BMW M3 for sale and get a proper beater daily for a year or two. Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago, enjoy guys
