  1. Guys, if anyone is bored tonight or over the weekend, would you mind doing me a quick photoshop of the wheels please.

     

    The 3 colours I'm after are either

     

    White

    Satin black

    Gun metal

     

    No polished lip, just all one colour

     

    If anyone fancies trying something "out there" aswell then knock your selfs out. Orange, pink :) keyser green, I'm open to ideas.

    Cheers guys

  2. makes me miss my black 02 S2000, one of the best cars i've owned. best has been the XKR but for completely different reasons. the S2K was the best drivers car i've had, and i reckon i'll go back at some point and have another.

     

    I've got all my detailing stuff at mine if you fancy a visit, i used it all on mine to correct the black paint. got DA polisher and everything.

     

    I will probably take you up on that offer rich, always fancied having a go on a DA polisher. I will let you know, cheers mate.

     

    Very nice car there mate, I loved mine when I had it. Have you had the geometry set up since you lowered it - don't want another expensive 'incident' after the engine scenario

     

    Geo is going to be done soon. I don't drive it all that much so it's ok for now. Although to be honest I can't say it feels like it needs doing, it all seems quite planted and doesn't feel like it wants to let go at any point.

     

    Cheers for the positive feedback guys.

  3. Tarmac, no worries mate. They aren't the best quality pictures though as they were taken on my phone. I'm sure I can get dan to bring his camera to the essex meet in May we can get you some better ones.

    Re the brace, my engine bay as you can see is not the nicest cosmetically and if I'm honest I'll probably be going green with the rocker cover and calipers so red won't go. Thanks for the offer though.

    Will the j's spoiler be the single blade one or the one with the smaller second blade at the rear? If it's the smaller ill happily accept a deal on one of those.

     

    I'm hoping it's this one

    In regards to the comparison to the 350. The power delivery is completely different. It's all 5800 up on the honda. Whereas the 350 as you all know has this big lump of power readily available most of the time. You need to drive the s2000 properly to get the best out of it, dropping gears etc whereas you could be lazy with the 350.

     

    The vtec is addictive. I'm like a child if I'm coming up to a tunnel with no cameras in.

  4. as some of you know I sold my 350z last year in order to buy an s2000 and put some money aside.

     

    Well it didn't quite work out as planned and the engine blew up in the s2000 on my way home from collecting it. (I'm not wanting the thread to go along the lines of go round with a bat etc. it's being sorted legally and civilly) Believed fault with the oil system. Nothing I could have done to prevent it. Was a ticking time bomb but you live and learn.

     

    Anyways, after a new engine i finally got it home

     

    Here is how it stood

    I fitted a k&n induction kit and new pads and discs

    Picked up some new wheels, not sure on the colour and polished lip at the time, still not sure now

    Desperatly in need of lowering I got myself some springs and down she went

    En fitted some tarmac side diffusers and an apr splitter (these aren't fitted as such so I had to drill holes etc and have custom brackets fabricated)

    So as it stands now

    Now, I'm happy with where it is now. Thinking a BGW or a low level OEM spoiler. And refurb ing the wheels satin black, or going the complete other way and going for white?

  5. Potentially ignorant post here but is the control while drifting not mainly down to the throttle control and steering more than grip provided by the tyres. Ie controlled skidding
