Default Jessxr AP1 - French Touge Machine

Hello S2KI,

after several years on this amazing forum, I finally decided to create a thread on my 2000 NFR AP1 s2000 from the French Alps.

The car has now 90K KM, The current setup :
- Bilstein PSS - B14
- UK alignement
- Phiffo carbon intake
- Mugen exhaust and header x 60mm test pipe
- Vibratechnics engine mounts
- FIA Pole Position seat - buddyclub low rails
- Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel
- 16" JDM BBS alloys - Toyo r888r
- Pagid brake discs and Carbon Lorraine RC5+ ATE pads
- OEM Honda body kit
- OEM hard-top
- AEM v2 waiting for a tune

Here's a selection of the main events during the builds, and the best of my adventures 2009-2019, road-trips all around Europe seeking for the best roads with her friends !

Here's the last picture of the car, coming back to a more JDM / OEM+ spirit :






Sorry for the long story, I will update this thread with recent modifications and pictures !

Thank you all for your comments and your support!

Coming back to a more authentic / OEM spirit is challenging, people don't always get it!

So as the current speclist mentioned, I've recently traded my T1R 70R-EM single with a HKS SSM in order to come back to more torque friendly exhaust diameter. I will do a full video review of this exhaust:
