I love this car

I know you've gotten nothing but praise: but I'll go out on a limb here and hate on one tiny detail- the drivers side windshield wiper:

If it were my car- you should untighten the drivers side wiper, lower it some, and retighten

But seriously, shes soooo friggin gorgeous

It was the first thing I noticed when I picked her up!! I was wondering if someone was going to point it out when I posted the pics!! Good eye!! Will do!

I'm sorry if you have already answered this question, but I havent read the entire thread. Did you just roll the rear fenders, or did you do any cutting/flaring? I was wondering if I could run that offset with just rolling alone. Amazing car! Thanks!

Jeremy

The rears are aggresively rolled. The connection point where the rear bumper meets the rear fender was also significantly modified. It was moved farther towards the rear so the tires wouldn't hit the bolt. Honestly, I can't see running this offset without doing what I described above... Thanks for the compliments!

about the mugen cage, did you take off the front bar that would go across the windshield? and also are the front bars that go down the sides hidden behind the plastic? i like the look of it.

Yes, the front bar is gone. The front downtubes are also gone. It would be practically impossible to hide the bars under the a-pillar plastic. I'm using the windshield frame as the front structural part of the cage. The front bars end at the top of the frame. Then they pick up again below the main cross shaft beneath the dash and go to the floor. The side bars mount up to these. Kinda hard to explain in words...

Everytime I come to this thread (which is a lot!) I am left speechless. You have - by far - created the NICEST and classiest S2000 EVER. Period. So unbelievably clean ...

Thank so much mang!!

That means a LOT to me!

I got it from Volk/Rays when I ordered the wheels...Any Volk vendor can get them. However, they won't fit with the standard S2000 offsets. Mine fit because they are much lower offsets... They're very close to the nut.
