Default My S2000 build thread

So I have been searching for a s2000 for a few months and came across this one in ATL



Only plans for right now are just suspension,brakes,and cosmetic upgrades.So far I have purchased a Whiteline lower brace(installed),cusco subframe connectros(on back order) and KW V3 coilovers(should arrive in a few weeks) for the suspension.Have also purchased an OEM front lip and hardtop which I have installed already.Also picked up a set of Bride Brix II from a friend and waiting on set rails at the moment to come in.

Plans for boost are next year and looking to be in the 700Hp club.So here are a few progress pics thus far.Thanks for looking.





So the molesting began







Took the soft top along with the frame out even though not necessay to install the hardtop.But since my softtop had a patch on it and the fact I wasnt going to use it anymore no need for the dead weight.

So after about 4hrs I ended up with this.I also pulled the windshield tape and emblems off the fenders.Windows get tinted this week.

^I agree. Nice to see that you have plans without posting a thread asking people to pick your parts for you. Can't wait to see the progress

The Brix's suck in the S2000 IMO. I installed mine for one day and promptly removed them. How tall are you? Did you order Bride rails, if so try and cancel the order and get some lower possession rails. Trust me on this one...

Can you take some inside shots of the hard top like the back section of the interior ? Curious to see what it looks like.
