Hi & welcome to our s2000 project – <U>which some lucky person will be taking home!</U>

This project has been in the planning stages for a long time and is finally ready to go!

Just a bit of background info to get you guys up to date, I will give more detailed information as we go along.

A bit about myself: My name is Ralph Bossino and I am the creator of BosStylists. Some of you may have been following my orange s2000 build process. I have always wanted to do something in the tuning industry and whilst building my car this idea came to me. I have decided to go ahead with it and use my car as a show car for the company. I hope you all like the idea and play for your chance to win what will be an absolutely crazy s2000! Thank you!

The Car: 2003 AP1 s2000 with 22,359 miles.

The Company: BosStylists is based on creating high end tuner cars and offering the public the chance to win them. We begin by searching around and choosing some of the highest quality parts for the car (3 for each category – e.g. body kit, rims etc). A virtual image then gets created with each part and a voting process is opened on the website, whereby the public can log on and vote for their ‘favourite’ car. The voting process lasts one month, and at the end the most ‘popular’ car will be built. There is then an interim period where the parts arrive from Japan and the car gets built. The build process will be followed on various forums as well as my personal blog. Once the car is complete there will be a 1 month period set aside as a last minute period for people to buy tickets. The competition is a worldwide competition with shipping to the winner for free worldwide.* We are aiming to close the competition on the 31st December, but obviously the delivery of the parts is out of our hands so this cannot be guaranteed.

Company Sponsors: We would like to thank all our sponsors:
- Ben @ Bulletproof Automotive
- Mike @ South Florida Collision
- Richie & Andres @ RAW Racing


Here is an image of the final car to be built:

Great .. get yourself a maxed out one then

 

The fortunate "donor" car ready to begin a whole new life is a 2003 AP1 with 22,359 miles.

The car is in very good condition throughout, except for the front bumper which has minor damage due to scraping underneath. The block is being replaced with a brand new block as well (info to come) as well as many other parts, resulting in what will be an excellent final product.









I am really looking forward to seeing this project finished

 

Being the first project I wanted to make it extra special so it would remain in the minds of those who follow it. Originally under the turbo option the car was to run 450whp. Seeing as the turbo option was so far ahead of the supercharger option, in terms of votes, I decided I would work on a power increase

We purchased a brand new Laskey Racing block (capable of 700+hp or 45psi of boost). We are aiming for a power output of 700whp for this build, with a ’street’ setting of a measly 500 - 550whp.

Having my car at 414whp I can tell you that this car will be absolutely insane I want my company to excel in its field, being the only one to my knowledge doing this kind of thing, but either way I want my cars to be the best. Hopefully the added purchase and as a result performance hike of the Laskey Racing block will reiterate this point.

More to come soon

Enjoy

 

Here is a bit more:

 

First off there are updates and pics which is always good

I want to apologise for being away from the forum for so long but as some of you will know I have had a big problem with my car, the company show car, for the last week. The car was being shipped from the US by container and arrived in Cadiz, Spain on the 24th October. I was contacted by the shipping agent in Spain on Monday but they informed me they didn't have any documentation so couldn't release the container. To cut a very long story short I got in touch with the shipping company and they told me the shipping agents in the USA (Bridgemons LLC) had not paid for the shipment, even though my payment to them cleared on the 14th October, thus no documents had been released, and stated they wouldn't be releasing the documents until they were paid in full. I read on the internet that the CEO of the company had fled the US for London because he was being chased for fraud, so for a second I thought I was going to loose the money I paid them for the shipment. Eventually after numerous phone calls and lots of shouting at different people they paid the shipping company and the container was released. The agents in Cadiz then wanted to charge me for the transport and extra documentation to have the car delivered to Gibraltar, as Bridgemons had made a complete mess of the documentation, even though I paid them CIF Gibraltar. Fortunately they eventually paid for everything and the car was delivered on Friday 31st. I spent the whole week from 8.30am until 11pm trying to get it sorted, hence my lack of action on the forum.

Now back to the car. It has been fully stripped (the whole interior, the soft top and the engine dropped out) and delivered to the paint shop for the fitting of the body kit and then obviously the spray. For now pictures of the car stripped:
