Default Hydraulic S2000

I bought my S2000 around 18Months ago. I have had quite a few problems since i bought it, but i eventually got i almost perfect. The day i bought the car, big end bearing went bang. So new engine. Then, bought a new clutch while i had it all out, competition clutch stage 2 i think. Had it all back in & running, then a week later the brand new release bearing breaks on me. Got that sorted & about 2 months later my left hand side drive messes up. It was the hardy spicer joint. IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT (in ireland anyway). Got a second hand drive shaft & fitted that, thats off balance. Eventually i got it all sorted & car is driving perfect now.

Inbetween all of these problems i was Refurbing a set of wheels, getting centres powder coated, lips polished & building them back up. I bought coilovers & fitted them, tried on my wheels for the first time & was not happy at all. Car sitting was way too high & that was at the lowest setting on the coilovers

So i took the coilovers out, sold them & went shopping for hydraulics.

Now from what i have searched so far, i dont believe any S2000 has been put on hydraulics before. I could be totally wrong. & im probably going to get abuse for doing this to the car. But i love it.

So, here is the finished product.
