honestly, how does it feel in the flesh?

To be honest I was thinking the same when viewing pictures online But once you view it in person it really sets the car. Now I wouldn't touch a S2k without full red but I may be biased :P

By the way who are the Go to guys for S2000 parts ( looked at sumo but dont have the bremtech, TDI north only have stoptech)
The traders section is a good place to go
Si at Hendy has all the OEM stuff plus lots of aftermarket bits. Depends what you want, really.
I wouldn't worry too much about disc brands. Buy some cheap ones and be prepared to swap them out relatively regularly - they are as cheap as chips.

Like to give a huge thanks to @senninha1994 for the great recommendation (james @ auto tech) very nice guy and knows his stuff. Doesn't hurt that he's down the road :P

As for the car, Done a major service + tappet adjustment, gearbox, rear differential, brake and clutch oil change/fluid

Pre service: car was clunky during cold starts and had a knock effect when changing to 2/3rd (could be normal but felt a bit uneasy) brakes kept locking up.

After: gear changes are buttery smooth, brakes bite nice and firm, feels more responsive and handles a little better

anyways little update more to come ahead

James said car is in very good condition which is always nice to hear
