Default New S2K owner (AP1)

Hey all I have finally purchased after waiting and drooling for 10+ long years. Bone stock when I picked her up then a few days later this is how she looked. Luckily there are tons of local folks around my area selling S2K goodies.

Before:


After:


Going to purchase 255 tires but for now, 215 will have to do bc I don't have much free time to roll the fenders.

I don't have anymore pics at this time perhaps, later today. Well the Rpf1 was powdercoated by the previous owner and it was sold to me half of what's the going sale price for a used Rpf1. I don't like the color too but it will have to do until I get new tires. I'm probably going to have a shop do black. Besides she spends majority of her time in the garage.

You can always plastidip the wheels as a temp thing if it bothers you.

Doesn't really bother me since I don't use her much. blackchrome would look sweet.

I never imagine until I sat in one about how tiny the cabin. I'm 5'7 and it already feels cramped. lol.
How does somebody taller than me do it, I don't have a clue?

Thank you and I love driving this car.

Aside from the previous rim owner lack of color taste. I did change the tires out to 255/40/17 front and the back. Next project will be rolling the fenders. I put a negative camber on her but without fixing the stock fender she still sticks out. Need to locate one locally soon so, I can take her for a spin.

Welcome to the club. You'll love this car! Just remember to redline the car each time you drive it or the car breaks down

+1 to plastidip the rims.
