Yep nice and stealthy Jim, but feels a long way from a standard S2000 now.
If the OEM wheels were lighter, i'd like them on there too
I'd quite like some J's / Downforce sideskirts though.

Although i'm not a bodykit fan, I have to say I absolutely love Rambos S2000 with that J's bodykit...

After my flashing CEL light (AEM says it's too hot!) I thought an oil cooler would be a wise investment. I got chatting to Dixon (DMS) about coolers, and I went for the Setrab 18 row cooler in the end. Popped over to DMS today and he got it fitted for me 
Dixon and nice to meet you and the team.
(yes my engine bay needs a clean
)
(and yep that's not a UK spec Honda filter, it's Honda Japan... )
All ready to get punished at Spa next week
Although there was an NSX there today which is making me think about not spending any more on the S

How much did the parts/labour add to the spreadsheet if you don't mind me asking.
Should one expect the oil to overheat with a heavily modded NA car? I did'nt think it would be an issue with a daily driver. I can understand it being a potential issue when the car is caned on a track.
Tyres look cool - I suspect much of that tread will be gone after Spa.

Skinny front and rear, Chris. I will get some pics, but looking today and takling with Dixon, I could have happily gone for 225 / 255.
Loon, not sure if Dixon wants his prices posting but will drop you a PM. The issue I had was coolant temp, and effectively the oil is boiling the coolant. So the oil cooler treats the source. It has in internal rhermostatic valve so it opens abou 75 deg c I think. Not needed for a road car.
Yep those tyres will be shot soon! Expensive
