A serious, serious build. Thanks for taking the time to update.

It's SO HONDA.

It just takes a few extra seconds during disassembly but saves hours when it comes time for reassembly.

Quick update as more parts came in.

I was lucky enough to happen upon a set of new old stock APM Racing J Hook rotors. They are reverse mounted and have direction vanes for extra cooling. Its nice when motorsports products are legitimately and thoroughly tested and developed. More info can be found here... http://www.scienceofspeed.com/produc...%20Testing.pdf

I was surprised to find that the S2000 uses rotors slightly larger than the base 997 Porsche 911.

I also got in a big order from AutoFair Honda. If you guys haven't heard of them or bought from them them check them out. It is run by a great group of guys who are avid enthusiasts and very active in our aftermarket community. Great customer service and prices! http://afhkparts.com/

Waterpump, 2002.5+ oil banjo bolts, new gaskets for the vtec solenoid, valve cover exhaust, tie rod boots, caliper rebuild kits oil filters etc...

Last night I also got to work creating the templates for the bases of the roll bar. It is going to be a 5 point design which will slowly start to take shape in the coming weeks...
