I have a thread going in the Interiors section of the forum. It isn't going 100% as planned because red is a pain to match. I sent in a piece of door card leather to have matched but it still looks off although I am not all of the way done with the finish coat and lotion. I think I will have to entirely dye both seats to get the consistent color I seek but that is worst case scenario. I have plenty of dye to do that.

After doing this in red, I now envy people with black seats in need of repair.

And if you're feeling really spicy you get the matching door inserts too. Redlinegoods has a deal if you buy both. Install is pretty easy.
thanks for the compliment! I may get the alcantara arm rest in future, not really cause my build is winding down. I’ve looked into redoing the visors as well...no need for door inserts as I have cr door inserts prob just hard to see in the pic

had local shop fix everything that was wrong with the car and then took it to get detailed the next weekend. Car drives like it just came off the lot and looks the same. Its a little hard to believe that she's 14 years old, she certainly doesnt handle or look like it at all.

Performed the rear axle nut torque increase. Found the driver side surprisingly loose!

It was raining so much here it Southern Cal so I stayed indoors and worked on my phone mount. I could not find any good way of mounting on the Modifry mount and I wanted the option of rotating phone whenever I need to. So I drew up and printed. Of course I could not take pictures of my phone mounted on it cuz its what I was using to take those shot. The printed material should have been black but I have none at the moment, it is made of TPU (semi rigid flexable filament). The phone holder is a $10 mount from Amazon. I absolutely love the heavy duty 3M outdoor mounting tape.

Got the bung for the oil return line welded in to my oil pan today. Tomorrow we put the pan back on, install the oil filter relocator and oil lines for the turbo, hook up the downpipe, finish the wiring on the Walbro 450 and install it, put everything else back together, and then it's on to tuning!

I don't have an s2000 but I just started my job at a muffler/ tires/ brakes service shop anyways.. I learned how to use a tire changer, observed some welding, and changed quite a few worn out brake pads and rotors. Pretty excited to learn more stuff as I go... I'm graduating this June and i'm hoping to buy my uncle's s2k around that time (with help) but for the meantime I'm working haha.
