Owned this S2000 a year tomorrow!

It's been a painful and expensive ownership, with all the turbo hassle. I should never have sold my last S, but the lure of 450bhp and the nice body parts the car had was strong The car itsels is spot on, not hit 30k yet, but the dodgy turbo install cast a shadow on it.

But it's nearly where I want it, just in time for the end of track season 1 track day this year is a bit of a failure, given all the work, but i've not been home much to use it tbh. Hopefully that will change soon

Plans are to soften the springs a little, so Dixon is sorting this, and some nice wheels to go on next week hopefully

Also not installed the 4.44 gears yet, which I might get fitted this coming week.

And to sort this effing EPS issue!!!

That's all.

Well there's 4 on each fin, so 16, but probably only half of that are visible. I'd take 16 though. If not I will just buy a can of black metal spray.

On another note, I think I will feed back to Dixon / PWJDM that the fins need modifying a fair bit for a lowered car. I will have to get mine sanded right down to stop them getting damaged. At the moment i've just taken them off and will drive like that.

Ok no probs. Will just spray mine if not. Another bit of feedback to pwjdm.

The fit and quality of the kit is impressive though. Not even a hint of a rattle. You do have to take the panels off to get to the geo adjustment bolts which I found out recently. 10 minute job if its up in the air though.

I havent finalised what I am doing with mine yet,I am changing the engine,I was going to go for a forged 2.4 but the price with a few other bits was $7000 more than we agreed.but having said that I may just buy there race engine,which is very high spec and was running around 800hp,but I might possibly just upgrade the supercharger to a full race with water/methanol injection.I was caught out in the wrong gear today and nearly got blown off by a diesel Passat Any experience with w/m injection?
A friend who went down to Silverstone with us in an Impreza posted the fastest 0-60 4.55 and beat Ben Collins in a Ferrari
