Thanks - I can't wait to show everyone my interior when it's finished. I'm going with a red vinyl/black carbon fiber vinyl (the stuff looks great, it's cf textured black vinyl) and I'm using red stitching. I already have my shift boot installed, and my door inserts and console pad are being made now.

I'm also getting hand stitched door handles and an E-Brake handle with the CF vinyl and red stitching ala the ASM s2k

I can certainly respect your goals and admire your desire to stay N/A. All I am saying is that it gets VERY expensive to make good power past a certain point. Based on the mod list you stated, you still have a fair amount of mods to do which will cost you a pretty penny. I have no doubt that you will OWN most CTSC guys, but keeping it real a CTSC isn't all that. Like I mentioned before, you don't make a respectable amount of power until redline. Sure, the car may be more "streetable" but a turbo S2000 will eat it alive.

Your 1320 times are VERY impressive. Without hesitation you are a GREAT driver and your S is making very good power.
ya, those are my goals, but i honestly doubt it will ever happen. i'll be honest, i am looking at a 07 GPW/RED and i can tell you that my AP2 WILL NOT be as modded as my AP1 is. with the AP2 i am planning on OEM HT, nice set of wheels(WORK miesters/SSRs/Volks) and just use my two current exhaust(HKS/70mm) and maybe emanage it, and call it good. then.............................................. ...


i plan on finding a high milage AP1, gutting it, and doing the above mods. medicalstudent style.

A fully gutted S with all aforementioned mods would give a low boost turbo a run for it's money. I'm talking if you can get the car in the 2300 range.

I had over 200 pounds shaved and with the gears, I can tell you that my car was really hauling ass. I gave so many 350z drivers the "o" face...

You will need to modify both of your exhausts before they will fit on an MY06/07.
my HKS needs it, my 70mm might not, but i wont know until i go to bolt it on.

I believe Safety 21 roll bar is the same thing as the Cusco roll bar and if that is the case it is definitely not safe.
