Re: My 03 S2K Build
Sadly, after that pic I never seen the turkey's again. =(
rears and fronts where rolled , front fender lining trimmed a tiny bit, and rear bumper tabs were relocated.
At the height that I had my car none of the front work was really needed tbh it was just extra precaution.

Re: My 03 S2K Build
stay tuned guys car goes into body shop next month for some changes ,new wheels will be finished in about 2 weeks and I sold my steering wheel and my new one should be coming in next week.
Btw need some opinions on what spoiler to run throw me some idea's
Atm im leaning more towards ap1 oem spoiler or asm duckbill witch is pretty similar. But I have given the voltex and apr spoiler a thought.

Nice build up! I see you bought allot of your parts new, props to you for being able to afford some of these modifications.
Glad to see you ditched that ricer BOV too...
As for a spoiler, I am a HUGE fan of the OEM AP2 wing.

Re: My 03 S2K Build
have you seen the voltex one? its extremely similar slightly less aggressive.
Neither can I lmfao, I can honestly say I've never been more anxious about stuff getting done.
Thank you, still alot more work to go though =(
as for meeting me ? are you around NJ?
the tamron is a nice spoiler im still in between on a sleek spoiler that will flow nice or something a bit more aggressive or as most would say "ricy"
Thanks, I wouldnt say buying new is the best bang for buck becuase i've spent so much and havent really got much to show for compared to how much i spent. But to me peace at mind with a brand new part and expecting it to be perfect is priceless.
Tbh I really loved that BOV lol. Yes it was ricy but if it would have kept working proper I wouldnt have sold it. Without custom modification that is the only aftermarket BOV that bolts directly to that after cooler. My tial one had to be custom welded and drilled and spaced and such to make it fit proper but now Im leak free and the sound is absolutely amazing !
Thanx for all the comments and opinions guys much appreciated

Re: My 03 S2K Build
ups man brought me my new steering wheel (finally matches unlike my old red one)
I got rid of my dslr cause I wanted to upgrade and figured I wouldnt use it in the winter cause its tooo dam cold out for me, I'll have a new camera when it gets warm out but for now here are some crappy iphone pix.
personal neo grinta along with some hubcentric rings for the new wheels.

steering wheel timeline
small timeline of my wheels from oem to now

Re: My 03 S2K Build
need opinions gonna be doing some body work and changing some stuff around
was thinking of doing a different rear bumper. I really hate all the s2000 rear bumper's so I kinda came up with an idea. I did the photo chop in a few minutes i know its not the best job but it gives you a decent idea.
Here's pix of the actual bumper
This was my idea pretty much the same deal just mold the two huge holes shut and the holes by the license plate shut as well. Yes i understand those holes are functional but they look ridiculous imo. (this is the rear bumper that is suppose to match my front)
my car with shaved tow hook cap
my car with that bumper no molding
Heres the bumper with holes molded

Re: My 03 S2K Build
Voltex Type 7 Rear wing. My friend just put it on his S, and it looks bad ***.
I would get the bumper and leave it the way it is.
What do you plan on doing with the car? Are you ever gonna track it or just a dd/show car? If a dd/show, I like the shaved tow hook look.

Re: My 03 S2K Build
have not updated in a long time figured Id just post whats going on
While my volks were getting powder coated I decided the 18x9.5 +22 weren't aggressive enough for me so, I put em up for sale and let the buyer choose what color they wanted. This is the pic before they got shipped out. Tom from trg did a fantastic job as always.
the car will be going into the body shop this week , and I will try and keep the thread updated with pix of all the work as its getting done. Ive decided against all the aftermarket bumpers and Im going to go with the ap2 rear and have them mold the 2nd hole shut so it only has single exit.
I should have my new volks here next week there matte black but I will most likely be changing the color as I planned on doing in the first place. Specs will be 18x10.5 +15 wrapped in 275/35/18 all the way around.

Re: My 03 S2K Build
