Final touch to the new top: A liner kit from one of the UK guys. Simple install and really tidys up the look.

Liner looks great. The inside front part of my top is severely faded and this looks like an option to make it look better. Any more info on source and install process?

One of the UK guys was offering these. Username: RobinA3 Original thread here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/uk-irela...-kits-1133395/
I'm not sure if he is making them any longer---he was having his wife sew them up for him.

EDIT: Just found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-S200.../152404072507?

Good luck!

EDIT #2 - 9/7/2020: Robin is making these liners again! More info here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/uk-irela...-kits-1203934/

What are your thoughts on the liner? Any improvements in NVH or anything else besides the look?

I haven't really had a lot of road time with the liner installed. Its pretty thick fleece material, but I also just put the new top on and thats canvas instead of the vinyl I am used to. So I cannot really say what difference the liner makes. It folds up nicely with the top and certainly looks nice, though.

Had to replace my OEM radiator after I cracked the end tank. I went with a Koyorad unit from Moddiction. Ryan recommended replacing the cap, as well. I wanted to replace the hoses, but man are they a bitch to get to. Decided to leave the original hoses. Filled the new unit up with the Honda blue coolant and performed Billman's bleed procedure and I am very happy with the results. Its nice to have her road-worthy again!

EDIT: Also installed a PasswordJDM Strut Bar I picked up cheap. I have a cooling plate on the way, also wrinkle black. Pics added.

To review, my top was the original top. It had the normal wear spots, plus had gotten worn in a number of other places, too. As if that were not enough, the vinyl window had split. I purchased the Robbins Haartz Stayfast canvas top in black with the glass window conversion (no heater).

On to the pics:

New top getting ready to go in









Final result











I have to say this picture here is an epitome of an ageless or aged to perfection of an AP1. The black emblem was a good choice along with the lug nuts. I have to ask are those OEM black lug nuts found on the "CR" and I can't see from the picture but do you also have black lock lugs as well?

Thank you!

I do not have the black lug locks. The black lug nuts came from Hardtopguy.

The emblems are the Black Chrome kit also from Hardtopguy---front, rear and side emblems are all a dark chrome.
