Good thought. Good weather today so I will clean the seat belts and treat the top. This is Iowa so this may be the only day I have left for a while. I am hoping to just have to drop restored seats in and be ready to go in the spring.

 

Got my Euro 2009 S2000 "Ultimate Edition" Badges in the mail today. Been waiting on these a while.

Pretty cool. I like it with just S2000 because a lot of people don't even realize this little car is a Honda. I like it when people don't know what it is. Kind of like when I had a 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T with the turbo emblems removed from the hood bulge. That baby surprised many drivers.

 

I don't have one identifying H badge anywhere on the car. It is fun to watch people circle the car in a parking lot 2-3 times or hear their reaction when I tell them what it is.

 

Well, I've been stuck inside with some weather.

When I first got the car I replaced the blown paper oem d speakers with some dxi651s 6.5" Coax I had laying around powered off the factory head unit . As well I had some db461s 4x6" Coaxial I wanted to install as rears, and a DB104 10" sub.

I'm an audio quality guy, not so much a blaring noise guy. I also enjoy listening to the S pur. Basically there are days I wamt to just listen to tunes and go on a nice drive in a convertible, and days I just wanna take some windy roads.

Anyway, figured since all the cones were laying around I could put some time into giving myself an alternative driving enjoyment. Still some work to do but figured Id share some progress.

Someone posted a thread yesterday which got deleted, not sure why. But I had been shopping for Fender protectors, and had not put my eyes on one I thought suitable yet. However, the deleted thread, showed me what I was looking for. Honda Tool Number# 07ZAZ-S2AA000 . Here is the link to it on Majestic, if anyone wants.

Well I finally did the passenger seat, got the rest of the grommets for the door screws I was waiting on from honda. Just in time to pull the hardtop on a nice day for a cruise

 

Any updates with ongoing improvements and restoration? I kind of miss checking out this thread for ideas.

 

Hey there Steve. I don't have any updates that I'd consider worthy of posting as its just been parts collecting in a pile upstairs.

I have been busy with other projects
- Weeding and planting the flowerbeds that looked terrible
- Started digging a moat to fill with drainage stone to get the organics off the slab foundation and make it easier to spray for bugs
- Dethatched, aerated and seeded
- filled all the low spots in the lawn with soil im pulling from rock trenches, and lawn rollsd so I dont scalp the lawn with the mower
- Built a home gym
- serviced my electric Skateboards for the season to take me another 7-9k miles ill ride this warm season.

- S is getting driven on non rainy days for spirited joy rides

 

Nice work. I assume you aren't hauling landscaping materials in your S2000.

I do have to start on some yard projects soon. In my part of Iowa we are just getting into decent weather. I have just had my Honda out since last week due to a late start to spring. Had to wait for snow to melt and a few rain showers to clean up the streets.
