wow, seam stitching... very nice :thumbup:

:thumbup:

If I was made of money, I'd do that to my car too. :D

The wheels don't look like RPF1's They look more like the NT03+M. I liked the NT03's, but the offsets listed on the Enkei website won't work for the S. Are these custom offset wheels? Do you know the sizing for the rear wheels?

:bow: :bow:

They'll probably put that car in GT4 :D

see.... even he didn't like the white/tan combo. haha

i would have just bought white and swapped the interior. :D

Look's Amazing

oh man talk about hardcore..:cry: :bow: :bow: i want one.

I knew he owned an S2000, but this thing is AWESOME!

I love the wheels, and of course all the Mugen bits.

OMG!!!!

:speechless:

Time spent building: Many weeks
Money Spent Making: MANY THOUSANDS!!!

Look on his face if it ever hits a wall:


PRICELESS!!!!!!

:D

If I were that guy, I'd tell Yamamoto to get his own damn S!

Great thread! Great pics!!

I can't remember the last time I have been so impressed with a car prep.

It's really cool that a guy who can do that to any car, has chosen our S!

This is the kind of prep I dream about doing to my car.

-Pete :eek3:

He probably got the money to do that from his appearance in the Mitsubishi Evo8 brochure!

Saaweeet!

i want one haha

I want! and the welding outfit too, with those nike shoes! damn.

ehhhh. still looks stock.

just wondering why not start off with a white one?

He was bored.

Its amazing that on the surface it seems like another S2k with some really nice mods. Relatively a sleeper huh:rolleyes:

Now that's some freakin' dedication! I think tomorrow I'm going to drill some holes like this dude, and name it the "KY Mod"!:D
Nice post!

It would have needed a repaint when it was done anyway, so the original color wouldn't make much of a difference...

Steve

:D

wow 1003kg!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

very very nice. too nice

:D

id love to see this thing in action...looks great!
is that a spoon N1 exhaust?

How many lbs is that?

Yes, speed holes.

2211 lbs

There is an article about this car in the latest Sport Compact Car

that looks good

n/m already mentioned :)

at 1003 kg thats about light as it can get before you need better aerodynamics.

Wow thread revival! :what:

cool

I believe Yamamoto, the owner of OPERA performance, built that car. Opera does probably the best chassis tuning I have ever seen. SCC is not that cool, but I picked up a copy just for that article! :thumbup:
