Default Refined Elegance S2000

Posted my car up in the hellaflush thread and people asked me to make a thread, so I figured why not as I'm getting more stuff done to the car. A little background, I'm in a car club call Refined Elegance base in TX. Here is our FB page: http://www.facebook.com/RefinedElegance
Some cars you probably seen over the internet and some is probably not your cup of tea. It's fine though, can't please everyone

Anywho I just bought my S2000 in bad exterior shape with in mind to spend the money save to fix it up to how I like the car. When I first bought it. Looked better in pics than the actual condition in person.





First couple things I did was get the BC coilovers, ap2 headlights and tail lights, apexi dual exhaust, and clear sidemarkers.

Anywho coming from the VIP scene, where stance and fitment is a big key in the car build, i wanted my S to have great fitment as I will just be driving it on the streets and not the track. I'm not trying to VIP the S but just build it to what I like visually. I first got Work Euroline SL, but I couldn't take off my eyes of my current wheels VIP Modulars VRS08 so I sold the Work wheels. I recently just got it fitted and put on. I bought some SPC camber kits too, knowing I'll have to run some crazy camber to fit them. The VIP Modulars are 18x9.5/10 +15 on 215/35 and 225/40 tires.

Here are the results:





And a video of my friend recording me: http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=10150482482276058

Right now the camber in the front are -6 and in the rear is -8.5. I'm about to do some bodywork to have it at -6 all around.

Here is the photos from today with more goodies







More goodies coming soon, and bodywork with new custom paint

And yes it's my daily, so it's meant to be driven. When I have to drive somewhere where I can't take the S, i have a truck.

In, to see what its going to look like when its done. Definitely not my taste, but you at least sound/look like you know what you are doing unlike a few other hellaflush fanboys

Btw, what is the weight, and specs on those wheels? And monoblock or separate pieces.

Good luck with the build ,

If you wanted refined elegance with your s2000 you have failed, if you just wanted a harsh ride with no traction and lots of power I'd consider this to be a success.

The wheels are very light (don't know the actual weight) and yes they are 3 piece forged. Specs is listed in the 1st post. Thanks

why not? I'm doing the bodywork to be able to drive low. The kit I got was super cheap, and supercharger is reliable on the stock boost I'll be running.

Refined Elegance is the name of my car club. The avatar is my Lexus LS430. This is just my fun daily.
