I've seem your car on the various fb groups! Don't sell it! I think you've listed it for sale a few times saying it's too much for you or something at your age, but I think that's what makes it awesome! Beautiful setup, and I'm totally with you on the carbon fiber. I got myself a wrinkle black cooling plate and if I can find them I'll be getting the wrinkle black battery/master cylinder covers that GPFab used to make. Really like the fasteners you did too. Hopefully I'll be able to find a comptech box. If not I'll most likely get something fabbed out of sheet metal and also coat it wrinkle black to keep with the theme.

My buddy's s2000 has been a major instigator in my plans....He's had it this way for a couple of years and ever since I saw it I've wanted to do the same. It's also the car he's kept the longest, so that says a lot. Here's his car....he went the carbon fiber route with his cooling plate and box as that's how they come, but that bay just looks so well sorted. I love a supercharged bay. I'm hoping mine will look as good as yours and his does. I was thinking of doing my valve cover a wrinkle white and the spark plug cover wrinkle red to go with the white/red color scheme of my exterior/interior, and maybe a gloss white on the blower housing....

FX300 is the one, although supposedly the 350 is about the same; just a little more firm on the pedal. As far as the clutch was concerned it was a toss-up for me. Aside from the glowing recommendation by LHT for the FX300 I see most people running the OEM disk/ ACT PP. In terms of wear under proper conditions / use, OEM always tends to outlast the rest as far as consumables go.

I’m sure the FX300 is a great clutch, but the OEM /ACT setup has been tried and tested for nearly what, 2 decades now? Again, I know LHT doesn’t recommend junk, but I’m sure it’s much easier for them to just source the FX300 as a kit vs stocking the various components to make up the OEM/ACT setup. Plus I’m sure there wouldn’t be as much of a profit margin with them selling mostly OEM parts vs an aftermarket clutch kit. But that’s all speculation. I haven’t looked at the price of the FX300 kit; but they charge $1200 for an FX300 installed, MTF change, and the Nachi bearing which isn’t cheap. Seems like a good deal to me, they can’t be making too much off of those.


If LHT was closer I’d love to go to them and would be confident with the KW setup if they installed it. But for anyone else looking to go another route/DIY it seems like SoS is the winner for ease of install and maintenance as well. I’m not sure if this is unethical or not but I have most of what LHT quotes in terms of pricing from an email exchange from a few months ago. Prices are subject to change at any time but it would give people a decent ballpark idea if anyone is interested to know vs. making poor Esther have to email you back haha.

Thanks a bunch! I’m excited to get everything together but also trying to be as patient as I can with this process. I’m in absolutely no rush. Your build is definitely setting the bar damn high for anyone who wants the most out of a supercharged S. I’d love to see what it would be capable of with the rumored C38R which still continues to elude us. Is there any info on it? Supposed release was April; any updates?
