Had the turbo kit worked on a bit and had the silicone connectors ditched in favor of Vanjen clamps.

Those clamps tho...
Dude, your car is so extreme but so tastefully done. I love the progress so far! Worthy of a superstreet cover

Still trying to get over the carbon product you used to pull the paint off and expose the hood, without damaging the clear coat. I like the V mount and everything with the new turbo setup so far, the J's kit is pretty aggressive, but looks good with the Spoon hardtop and that rear wing. Great work so far!

I think we can all agree that there is one are in the S2000 that greatly needs attention and I intend to remedy that issue.

I’m going to save this for a rainy day. Got a really good deal on it and couldn’t pass it up. Too much on my plate right now to jump into another motor build but I do have a spare block and head when time permits me to complete them.

Started removing the sound deadening in my car with dry ice and tried something different that worked really well. I poured the mixed dry ice solution into a heavy duty trash liner instead of directly over the work area. This allowed for easy removal of the broken fragments and reduced waste of the dry ice. I was able to remove the entire section under the soft top with only 5lbs of dry ice.

Just got the car back from the awesome fabricators at Top Garage. Had a custom 6 pt cage made and if you are in the market for a custom cage in the South East region I highly recommend you give them a consideration.
