Default Finally, a proper introduction (PICS)

When I got her a few weeks ago, she was in sorry shape. The car had sat at a body shop for 2 years without a wash, or even a drive. And so, the restoration process began. New Denso plugs (to make it stop misfiring, worked!), new tires, new tail lamps from Honda (Free, cause mine turned pink), Clear sidemarkers and headlamp diffusers courtesy of Rick's, and Tein H-Tech springs (LOVE them!).

I'd say she's in good order now, you be the judge!

Angel and Devil. The S is pure heaven to drive. The Z is just pure evil. lol






Enjoy!

Hey Jet, forget about that S, I want to see some more pics of your Super Hornet
Just kidding. Looks Great, I'm sure it found a good home. Have you thought about taking a look at those cylinder walls, I would be tempted to get a bore scope and inspect for corrosion or pitting... doesn't seem like it was put away properly. At any rate, enjoy your new ride. You have all the bases covered; Land, Air and Sea.

Yeah, I'll be removing my valve cover soon anyway to repaint it (it's chipping and flaking), so while I'm in there it seems like a good idea to check out that stuff. Also, I'd love to know how to adjust the valves. Havn't found a good how-to for that yet.

And the super hornet isn't mine, sadly. Here's my "daily driver" lol

I'm PIC typed for the G-II (top) and G-III (bottom):

The S2000 looks much better. I'm surprised you have two two-seater cars though.
