Default New parts this week, and first car show

I have owned my S2000 for 9 years now. My build progress has been slow given the years of ownership (for some reason I am always buying tires and brakes LOL) However I made huge progress this week in reaching my goals. I got a Toda Torquie-kun exhaust manifold, Toda oil pan, and Toda clutch and flywheel. I decided to take it to my friend's shop for the work due to the Japan motorsport "experiences" he has given my family and I (I.e. VIP passes at Super GT, Super GT driver teaching me what my car can do on track etc.) He topped off the part install with a fresh Motul oil change and off I went, relearning how to drive my car after nearly 10 years of OEM clutch/flywheel. The next day we had a local car show, and for the first time I put my S2k in and took 2nd, but walked away with a craftsman tool kit not a bad weekend. Here are some pics...

Also, you can go to the shops FB or web page if you'd like:

Toda, awesome! What are your impressions so far? I've dreamed of shipping my car to Japan, it looks like you're living the dream!

Splitter is a Wasp Composites Splitter.

Living in Japan with my S is a dream come true. Money can be tight, but I try to take advantage of the opportunities I get.

Really cool car. What wheels are they?
