Default Fatmandc2's Formula Red EJ1

Hey guys how's it going.

Names Ed, been around the community for a while now, and finally I get to contribute, but sadly not my vehicle not just yet.

Today went out for a nice wash here in Boston, and to my surprise I find drying up one of the cleanest '95 EJ1s I've seen. While the owner admires his car, I decide to walk up and give him props, in my hand I carry a jem to me, my camera, I have the inspiration of a Pro but needed resources and time, and here it is...Just trying to put myself in the community. Offered to take a couple of pics, and to my surprise this car has never been posted anywhere.

These are the Mods

S2000 Formula Red less than 4 months old!!

Mod list:
- Tanabe DF210 Springs
- Polyurethane front lip (Mugen)
- JDM fogs, Blackhousing head lamps, corners, smoked tails all courtesy of Ebay

Entertainment:
- 2 12" kicker subs, alpine head unit w/ ipod link, and infiniti interiors

Future mods:
- Cf hood, trunk
- full suspension lca's etc.
- still undecided on wheels
- KEEPIN IT SINGLE CAM, fully built and boosted

Props to Fatmandc2 for keepin' it clean and daily, and thanks for the colab.

Now for the car:



























Fatmandc2 will have a timeline for you guys later on...Hopefully we can get a better shoot going..considering this is my first, and it was on the spot.

Looks wonderful. You should Put a OEM lip on and it would look much better and it wont scratch up that new paint

I'm jealous, I wish my car weren't beat to ****, I see that and I'm like that what my car COULD have looked like. Some day I'll get some cash and start over with something that has a nice straight clean body like that

Awesome for a nice ride, rims look nice, paints is very nice, clean black lip and trim all looks great, black H, clean headlights even...

I agree. Lip, tails, and headlights need to go.

Paint is nice, engine bay is dirty as hell. It's getting there, but not there yet. Kill the wheel gap.

Not too shabby. Tail lights & lip looks weird.

I think the tails look great on the car, specially with the paint, but the lip is going soon, but next summer is a whole new set up.....

OP: do your own thing with the car.

personally i think people who try to look "JDM" are just retarded, its way over rated goto japan and actually look at how many ricers there are on the streets, its a lot of them.

I was just wondering, did you have fitment problems with the tails (were the screws lined up porperly to the holes)?

I mean, did you have to literally jam them in to get them in there, or did they go in easily like OEM tails?

Just wondering, I guess I got a bad set.

I have no problems with them now as I modified them so that they fit perfect now, but I was just wondering if all the smoked red/clear tails were ill fitting.

If you think tricking out your car ebay style is kool, then more power to you.

I don't think cheap tacky parts improve/enchance the appearance of your vehicle IMO.

And the shocker stickers man, c'mon?
How old are you?


Paint looks nice!
