Shigeru Uehara was the chief designer of the S2000.

Here's some pics of him at the biggest ever S2000 Meet "Homecoming" in Torrence California, earlier this year.

I'd love to know what he though of people ripping bits off and bolting stuff on something he must have spent years tweaking to perfection?

He loved it apparently I had a good old chat with Backcracker about the whole event - Mike (Backcracker) organised the whole thing

Well, Uehara-san's end-of-term project was the S2000CR, so he probably understands the tuner obsession!
