So once again, I lied. No hardtop yet, or any of my other top 5 =(. But 'track' car, so I picked up a set of Spoon Rigid Collar. I heard / read good things about them, so might as well try them out. So next on my list is to install them, which I cant do myself since I don't have all the tools.
I also picked up a set of Ballade Sport Axel spacer, but didn't have the chance to take photos of those. I'll probably install those at the same time as the Spoon Collar.
LASTLY!......
So, long story short. I sold my J's Type 1. A Evo enthusiast had a Voltex Type 5 laying around from his Evo dreaming days in MINT condition (the J's had a few chip and clear coat was fading), so I picked it up and figure I will put this into good use. The mount distance on the J's (s2000) vs the Voltex (Evo) is 40 and 42 respectively. So, with 2 inch, I think I should be able to do a custom bracket etc to make it fit =). I think the type 5 would look better than the J's Type 1. Hopefully I can get all these install before the first track day?
Yep. Either its gonna be an hardtop first or BBK. But I think I need a hardtop more since I got Recaro and don't feel like getting my soft top slashed anytime soon. Also my soft top is in great condition and I kinda want to keep it that way.

These days, a hardtop doesn't protect your seats... It just turns into another item to steal, along with your steering wheel, and seats.
Take the car out and track it as is. Too many times people talk about going out and just end up putting a bunch of mods on the car they don’t need. You bought a nice set up that’s going to take you a lot of time to get used to, save your money on mods and buy yourself some seat time.
Alright, it has been at good 5 months since my last post. Since then, I continued to dump more money into this S2000 money pit. So here are my findings for the past 5 months.
1) I wanted a cleaner looking bay, so of course : Gladman Fab Battery, Brake and cooling plate. I wanted to get the ARC., but those are way way way way way too expensive.
2) Of course a cleaner engine by means a some new hardware : ZSpec dress up bolt ....
3) Long story short, my lugs look like @#$ and with Work S1, I needed new lugs nuts. So i picked up Project Kics 2 Piece Spike Black. I wanted another color, but beggar cant be chooser hahaha.
And yes, sticking to my legit cheap authentic build, all items where used lol.
My mod list continue ...... So I end up getting another J's Type 1. This time the J's is in near mint condition. I end up selling the Type 5, since it didn't fit in the S2000. So yah, to anyone trying to install a non S2000 wing to an S2000, dont do it. It will not fit. Wings has to be car specific....
For the past 5 months, I also been trying to find a used K1 Lab duckbill in carbon with no luck. But then this showed up.....
Yep Tamon Design Carbon Kevlar. Probably 1 of 2 in the state? I think only Evasive carry them? But anyway so I just had to pick it up. I am planning on cutting it so that it fits with the J's wing mount..... Not sure if that is a good idea or not, but I've seen another member on S2Ki did it and it look fantastic. I think this would look pretty good with the carbon kevlar.....?
I plan on installing the wing and the getting the Tamon cut to fit once I get my hardtop .... whenever that will be. So as of now, the J's and Tamon are just gonna sit on the shelve.
Ohh, I also picked up a Modifry DCI. My current AXXESS AWC-1 works (mute as well), but the CH button seeks down on the radio and it was a huge unit. I wanted my buttons to work perfectly, so .. why not .....
On a side note, I have something big coming in the mail .... i dont wanna jinx myself, but my build will be 90% complete once I get it ...
Not from Nengun, but can't find a good photo of them ahha. This will probably be the only part I buy new. From my last 5 months of trolling the internet, people are selling these at an outrageous price. More than what I got them for new, but then its a 3 month wait. Well I have the time and patience to wait .... So I ordered today 5/8/2019, let see if it actually does take 3 months for them to get here. Will update the post once they arrive.
Ahh, also for those who dont know, these are not APR mirrors lol, they are Craft Square. I got them with the blue tint mirror as well.
