Default Hi! Meet my Supercharged AP1 S2K!

Hi fellow S2000 admirers. The name's Rolan and I'm from South Africa. I am deeply pleased to introduce my 2001 S2000 supercharged by Vortech with their V2 (engine oil fed) charger!! I just picked her up as is on Friday and so, one of my childhood dreams of owning an S2K has been realised - I was a kid in high school when I first saw this amazing machine and fell in love with her since then This site has helped me to make an informed decision on this car. You are ALL great with your advice and input on many topics I read and so, I thank you all for that. Please see the pics/specs below and let me know what you think. Thanks.

Quick specs:
F20C1 STOCK
Transmission stock
LSD stock
Suspension stock
AP2/AP1 facelift 17"rims 215/45 Bridgestone MY01 and 245/40 Firestone (didn't see a specific model name but they're made in Japan)
Vortech V2 charge cooled running at around 8 psi (0.5 bar) boost. I have yet to confirm this when I get a boost gauge installed.
Vortech bypass/blow off valve
HKS super power flow air filter (installed personally today)
96 000 miles (160 000kms) on the clock
Makes around 386HP and 310NM torque - makes for an EXHILIRATING and scary experience!!! This car is incredibly fast and feels soooo solid on the road, wow! Brutal, lol. Power figures still to be confirmed when I take her to the dyno soon - those figures were given to me by the previous owner.

Need to respray the front bumper as the previous owner ended up cracking the paint by scraping it several times :/

Nope, I don't like groups.....they are usually too busy and become an annoyance. Is that group a local group?
