My Berlina Black S2K...
i figured id post up my little "build thread" tho its not much of a build... im new to the S2000 world but ive wanted one for quit some time... ALWAYS been a Honda fan just new to the S2k! I sold my beloved Integra to get one so... first off here what i had before
Now the S2000, this a bunch of pics since ive had it, Since september 2011-now
2000 Honda S2000 AP1

Berlina Black
Cosmetic Issues....
1. Interior radio frame door was busted
2. Interior center counsol has a crack
3. Shift boot was ripped so PO used a part of jeans to fix (IDK WHY)
4. small crack in front bumper
i got started right away fixing it up, heres the radio door
Before: no frame at all
Radio frame: PO tried useing Bonda to fix, missing vent
New radio frame and door:

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
Bought some wheels shortly after, long story short i got scammed a little, dude saud rims were PC'd.. they werent (they were spray painted) tires were good condition, they werent... and he charged me $200 more for shipping then they really cost to be shipped
Unwrapped
in this pic u can see the shitty paint job
EVERY rim is like this all over
painted over valve stems
Just to show he didnt even try to paint the inside so its all over spray
so i got the tires off and ready to be stripped and redone

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
then i oredered a new exhaust, i couldnt stand the loud *** Megan Exhaust (which is FOR SALE)
Invidia Q300 dual exhaust
Me and my buddy finished up the roll bar
Just all the **** in the garage
this is how she sat most of winter... waiting for new parts
Driveshaft spacers came in today

Roll bar and Center counsel put in
The rest of the interior

Coilover

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
then i ordered a jsracing replica diffusser... the peeps i got from has TON of rep but i VERY DISAPPOINTED with it... another long story short, hardware looked like a 5 year old made it and the fitment was horrible, i ended up sending it back and getting a refund
and of course i had to buy some "look pretty" parts
Blox lug nuts, Rad stays and PWJDM fender washers
and the OEM wing

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
bumper getting painted
bumper almost finished
Before: cant see the bumper as good but trust me it did NOT look pretty
After:
No more crack:
my guy couldnt get my rims done due to shop relocation but this is them sandblasted
finally on the ground

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
another long story short... dude ****ed up my fender rolling, had to pay hundreds to get them fixed
these are the fenders after the fender rolling job, they dont look bad in the ics but they were in person... i dont have pics of the rears but they didnt look pretty either
front passenger
front driver-chipping
Front driver fixed
rear fixed
when he fixed the fenders/quarters body work was done and the whole fenders/quarters got repainted, this is how it sat for automotion

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
for my daily driving and the price the coilovers are just fine, i dislike the the harddog roll bar from my understanding you cannot have the stock roll hoops and i dont like the way that looks and it had a single exhaust but i disliked the look of that also as the dual exhaust fills the bumper nicely instead of having it look like youre missing something, i know they make caps for that reason but the ap2 rear bumper cap looks dumb and i love the way the invidia dual exhuast looks

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
So glad you got rid of the blue wheels....
and pad your rollbar. Even though it's a horribly designed rollbar, least put some proper padding so your head/limbs are safe.

Re: My Berlina Black S2K...
Seems like you have a lot of bad luck with the car but you kept on going!!
The car looks great and everything looks much better. Wish you wouldve chosen a prettier color for the wheels but they look sleek. :D
