Continue to follow my tread as I work to enhance my S2000's characteristics and improve on my driving abilities. I will be heading out to attack as many "local" tracks as I can and I hope to see you there too!

I'd like to thank the late Mr. Hideki Tanabe for building the Powerhouse Amuse S2000 Touge Monster and Best Motoring International for opening my eyes to the wonders of the S2000. I'd also like to thank Mr. maxre.net for his knowledgeable product reviews, track blogs, and generous information as they were very helpful in finally deciding to purchase and build my own track S2000. Big thanks to everyone in the s2ki community for supporting me

Thank you!
I hope that at some point in time, I can contribute to the wealth of good & solid information found with the S2000 community as my build and experiences move into a direction I can call my own.

Here is the original 1st post of my thread. Enjoy!

Step One... Flared Fenders!
I asked all around town and no one felt real confident about doing it and the one guy that would attempt it quoted me a price of 3K+

So I figured I would give it a try myself. Besides how hard could it really be

I spent the afternoon shaping the fender with the old hammer and dolly. Worked pretty good too. Although there is a few spots to work on still, but overall I'm surprised it looks as good as it dose

Lets not forget that I have never really done anything this intense before
