The Raw Heart Crew's HKS Supercharged S2000 (photos)
Form follows function with this performance-oriented S2000 that was spotted at Wekfest Japan recently.
1. Performance purist
What you see before you here is a car that walks the tightrope of being stylish, built for performance, and still giving an air of luxurious comfortability. The Raw Heart crew out of Osaka, Japan can definitely hold their heads up high with this car that belongs to a member. Everything on this car just fits together so nicely that it can serve as a template to other enthusiasts that wish to mod their S2000 into something that they will never forget.

2. ohhhhh shiny!
The centerpiece under the hood is an HKS Supercharger that has been mated to the high-strung F22 engine dialed in at 6.5psi of boost to make 330 horsepower. Other bits were made to look fancy courtesy of polishing every single aluminum component in the engine bay that can be seen by a passerby. Other parts got a color matching scheme that bounced between black and anodized purple bolts and spacers.

3. Sitting low
A heavy amount of cars present at this event were stanced out, but thankfully this particular car was spared the extreme camber treatment. Instead, the car has been damn near slammed on tuner favorite Volk TE37s. Keep in mind that the car does call Japan home and they have way smoother roads than we have to deal with in the states.

4. Go faster... stop quicker
The fueling system on the car has been upgraded thanks to a Radium fuel rail equipped with a Radium fuel pulse damper and a pressure gauge, all leading to larger capacity injectors. To go along with the extra power from the supercharger, the brakes have been beefed up with six-piston StopTech calipers in the front to bring the car back to legal speeds.

5. LED Tail lights
For the rear of the car, there is an APR carbon fiber GT wing to make a good amount of downforce for the car to help keep it planted at high speeds. For anyone wondering about those taillights, they come from Depo and add a really cool modern touch to the car. Finishing up the trunk, there is another bit of aero that comes in the form of a carbon fiber lip that enhances the lines of this more than capable car.
