Corey's Silverstone AP2: Back for Round Two!
Backstory:
I sold my '04 Rio Yellow S2000 to a fellow S2ki member back in 2009. Big mistake! I have since discovered, through my various vehicle purchases and test drives, that a S2000 is THE car for me. The way they come right out of the box is a perfect compromise between sports car and DD in my opinion. There are very few cars that this can be said about. Even fewer, if any, RWD set ups are this pure right off the showroom floor at this price point & in the used market.
My chronological car history:
1997 Honda CRV - Cypress Green: Sold in 2008 to fund my 2004 S2000 purchase
2004 Honda S2000 - Rio Yellow: Sold due to practicality concerns
2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS - Obsidian Black: Sold because I wanted to get back into a manual transmission car
2004 Subaru Impreza WRX - Platinum Silver: For Sale on Nasioc/Craigslist/Cars.com because I just had to get another S
1991 Mazda Miata - Classic Red: Sold because I realized I actually wanted a S2000 and couldn't fit nearly as well in a MX-5
2005 Honda S2000 - Silverstone: Current
Here are a couple teasers until I get a full shoot on a day with reasonable weather. I understand teasers of a stock car aren't very exciting and are relatively pointless, but I'm just happy to be back and couldn't wait to start a thread
She still needs a good wash, clay, wax, & extensive wheel cleaning.

Thanks to SW2 tuning 
For anyone that saw my posts or heard from me via PM asking about fitment, or if you are looking to gain more room and are thinking about the Pole Position...go for it!
A bit of a review:
First off thanks for working with me through PM, SW2 Tuning. I received the seat in about a week's time after placing my order and with no surprises.
I literally sit 2 inches lower and can now heel toe with all the extra room below the steering wheel. I'm still getting used to entry and exit, but it really isn't terrible with the roof up. Top down it's a breeze to get in and out.
There really is an unbelievable difference now in driving feel and I find myself sitting very upright, especially in parking lots, watching for curbs and such. Before the new seat I was almost slouching driving around because I felt naked/exposed sitting up so high. I had to duck to see out the rear view mirror before installing the Recaro and Buddy Club rail.
For reference:
I am 6'2"
32" waist
175 lbs.
Recaro is slid all the way back on the rails
Front seat mounting bracket (tall one) is in the 3rd slot from the bottom
Rear seat mounting bracket (short one) is in the very top hole
