Hi all...I haven't posted here in a long time. I used to be on here as "jdmintegra1994" a few years ago when I had my DC2. After that got stolen, I dropped out of the import scene for a while and just drove "normal" cars haha. Well last year in March, I picked up a brand new 2007 Honda S2000. This is definitely the most amazing car I've ever owned. In the last year and few months, I've done quite a bit to the car. As with my integra, I have a hard time making up my mind which direction I want to go. I think now I have a good idea where I want to take it.

Below are some pics of what my S looked like leading up to it's current form:

Picked up from the Honda lot



Within the 1st month, i added a CF hood, wheels, coilovers, and CAI:




Before long, i changed everything up:






I tracked the car after only having the car for 4 or 5 weeks. I found that it was something that I really liked to do...and before I knew it, I was doing everything I could to turn the car into a track beast:








Now, TE-37's have ALWAYS been my favorite wheel. It was my goal to put a set on my integra before it got stolen. Now that I had the S2000, I still had that desire. I had already put on a set of TE's as you can see in the previous pictures. However, I wanted more. The TE's I was previously running were standard offset. I have always wanted CONCAVE TE's. That gave birth to the next setup featuring 17x9 +22 Concave TE's in the rear:








I thought I was done at this point. But then I realized that my build was going towards a "wilder" look than I had intended. That's when my current build started. I was determined to clean up the car and get it back to what I had originally intended it on being. The ASM theme has always been my first choice because of it's quality and the way all the parts flow with the car. This build is still in progress, but here's what i have so far:














I will post more as my build nears it's completion. Thanks for checking out the thread!

Great looking build. How is the fitment on that C-Wings hard top?

 

Excellent...as you can see in the pictures

It rattles a bit more than I'd like tho...although I hear this is a problem even on the authentic Mugen hardtop.

 

Orgasm!

 

damn i didnt know u were on here!

 

Wow, I really really liked your car ALLOT more the way it was before with the stock front bumper and carbon accents. I don't like the new wheels at all! I really like the ASM bumper by itself but am not a fan of that lip. Is it actually ASM as well? Does not look like the one I am used to...


The lip just looks out of place on your car IMO. It might just be because of your stock rear bumper, sides and hood.

Weren't you trying to sell those fenders?

 

i want those fenders... either those or the seibon ones. how much more clearance did those asm ones give you?

The new wheels are temporary. I'm waiting for my special order wheels to come in. Yes, the front lip is ASM...the same one that is in the picture you posted. As for the fenders, these are ASM fenders...I sold my Seibons a couple months ago. That might be what you're thinking of.

Most respectable s2k & owner on HT no doubt.

 

When is the modifying going to stop? Shoot, talk about a hobby.

Thanks for sharing with us the timeline of your s2000, sure is nice to see it on the track. Put the wing back on.

It's the Chargespeed CF lip kit minus the front lip...I just had the sideskirts and the rear pieces.

The front piece is a CF APR Splitter.
