Default Buildup of the Black Nugget II

After a few days of searching for the perfect Berlina Black 2003 S2000 I came to the conclusion, finding a good condition AP1 that the owner isn't asking ungodly amounts of money from just isn't working out.
I really had no desire to purchase an AP2, because something about black with the new head/tail lights didn't do it for me. After looking at the gallery a little bit, I fell for the Grand Prix White. Here is where the dilemma came up; all of the 04-05's I found only came with tan interior... which is hideous.

So, after a lot of thinking I fly up to New York and scored a Grand Prix White 2007 S2000, 11k miles.

On the drive back from New York I realized... this car just doesn't have enough power. So I made a quick stop to see some old friends :

So, you pretty much went against everything in your want to buy ad. Not an AP1, and its not black.

Glad to have you back in the S2K community, Chad!!!

It's not 757 worthy. It needs to be dumped at least another 1.5".





Congrats, McNugget!
