Default S2000 Mugen - Finished?

After the torment of getting most of waiting for a US Mugen car to be stripped, boxed and shipped over to the UK without any major transit damage I have finished bolting it all together.

So no banks robbed at all - just a lucky break (keep checking the Marketplace!) and a very understanding shipper who helped arrange the whole thing for me. For anyone interested, it was BAX Global who run a personal import service - they were very fast and relatively economical.

So this is what it looks like - will be at Box Hill in July and at Goodwood on the Friday. Getting dark when I pulled it out of the garage....



Not much left to do now......

Interesting - but a little to Max Power for my taste. What is it packing under the bonnet ?

All you need is the carbon fibre Mugen Hardtop to seal the deal.

Cedric,
I agree, the wheels were an experiment and they came out a lot 'brighter' than I had hoped. They look better when covered in brake dust - an anthracite gold. The wheels are the next thing to change - but that will take some time to save up for the Mugen items!

I can just imagine what that is going to look like in a Boxster driver's rear view mirror... Intimidating or what!

LOL.. Hey, tell me about the saving up thing, I find a huge problem reconciling my 'I want it NOW list' at any given time.... with available moola!

Whoa ! Looks incredible !
Not so sure about the wheels, but the rest is very nice indeed.

What kind of performance figures does she have ?
