Here is the wrap the car is getting in a few weeks for the first Gridlife event in April! Adding some CR aero to it before we wrap.
its possible to fit a 295 under the stock body with just a fender roll

Do you have evidence of this? I have never seen it done.

Thanks to TFworks I have a nice new set of custom spring rate R1's!

Ripping out the old rusty junk

Let the bad bodywork begin

I'm not a body guy by any means. Just needs to look okay since I'm hiding it under a wrap.

I joke about this but a fresh set of RPF1's 17x9, I swear these should be called OEM s2000 wheels

Looking like a real car


Way too low lol

Few years ago

295/35/17 on a custom widened 11.5" rpf1 out back.

1003160917 HDR

1006161702 HDR

And managed to pack in a 315/35/17 NT05 with a slight 3-4mm rear fender pull. Keep in mind the inner fender well with both tire options was ground down and hammered in slightly to keep the tire from rubbing at full suspension compression.

With a slightly narrower 11" wide wheel at +65 offset, a 295/30/18 could be accommodated with just a fender roll in back.

RPF1's with my track tires.

Starting to look pretty mean. Coilovers are setup.



My other builds hiding in the corner asking for love.

S2000 bodywork finished, ready for wrap. Starting to look serious.

Project CRX engine ready to install

After 2 years of hard work this car is coming together.

Title/licensed/registered all done. Time to test drive it!

Brought her to Honda

Before. After was -2.4 L, -.4 R camber in the rear. Tow was -.17 on the left rear where the car got hit. I ordered the Megan spherical camber kit to toss in before Gridlife.

R1 coils need the preload adjusted, I was bouncing all over the road.


Car gets wrapped Monday!!!!
