Random photos of my car

I don't have 2 sets of rims. I had the rims custom powder coated. I went with gold on the driver's side and white on the passenger side. Almost everyone thinks I'm crazy for having different color wheels on each side of my car but I love it.

My car was not looking good. I had a broken Amuse bumper. I had to go back to stock suspension because my KW coils were leaking. My painted stock rims were permanently stained from break dust because I took them off my car after the track day and did not clean them, they sat for years like that. I decided I wanted to bring the car back to life. I sold my broken Amuse bumper along with the leaking coil overs and my Greddy SE exhaust. I put the stock bumper back on and I detailed the car. I compounded the paint and coated it with Ammo Reflex. The paint had never looked better.

After getting the paint looking amazing and fitting the OEM front bumper back on the car I lowered it on Tein springs. I also got a set of 17x9+45 Enkei RPF1.

After getting my car looking good again I went with a friend to Joshua Tree National Park to take some images of my car. The full photoshoot is here.

I wanted a seat with more aggressive bolstering so I picked up a Bride Gias and I sold the Recaro Pole Position. I did not have a daily driver at the time so I removed the passenger seat from my car and drove to Go Tuning to pick up my new seat. I installed the Gias in the parking lot and then moved the Recaro to the passenger side for the drive home, I reinstalled the OEM passenger seat. The Bride Gias seat is very comfortable and supportive. It has very aggressive bolsters, making getting in and out tricky but provides excellent grip in the turns. This seat sits a little lower than stock with the Bide low max rails and has the ability to adjust the incline of the seatback. The Gias weights about the same as the OEM seat. This seat does not rub on the door panel or the center console. There is a mounting point on the seat rail for your stock seat belt latch so you don't have to use a harness system

This is when my car was at it's best. The Amuse bumper looks so good. I ended up selling it many years later because someone with a tow hitch backed into it while I was parked and put a hole right in the middle. I can't believe someone bought my broken bumper, they even restored it.

After the track day my legs were sore and bruised from sliding around in my seat so I picked up a Recaro Pole Position. I also changed out the center console leather from black to red. Go Tuning supplied the alcantar sun visors and E-brake and shift boot. The ARC shift knob is a titanium countersunk ball style shift knob that is weighted and provides smoother shorter shifts. Recaro pole Position on Bride RO rails with Recaro side mounts. This is a wide comfortable seat for the street. It sits at about the same height as the OEM seat. This seat is almost half the weight as the OEM seat. The leg bolsters are not too aggressive and makes getting in and out of the car easy. This seat does not rub the glove box or the door panel unlike the Recaro SPG. The problem with the Pole Position in the S2000 is that the seat belt latch gets smashed in between the seat and center console and you can't fit your finger in between the seat and the center console to release the seat belt. You must use your key to release the seat belt. Also some may find this seat sit too up right, I prefer a more reclined driving position.

I took the car to the Streets of Willow to see what she can do. I painted the OEM wheels white and stuck blue painter tape on the front end to prevent rock chips. It was freezing cold at the track but I had a great time racing with all of my S2ki friends. I would like to thank S200Patrick for this great panning photo.

9.5+47 gold CE28's props to E-Auto for the rims. 255/40/17 RE050 pole position thanks to Tireguy aka Arnel at America's Tire Torrance front fenders flared at Atech in El Monte, CA. rear fenders rolled, pulled, bumper trimmed and bumper bolt relocated at E-Auto. lowered on KWV3's. Not sure how low i am. The aliment is -2.5 front and -3.5 rear.

Right after getting the fenders flared I carefully drove down the street to get an alignment.

I love the way the fenders came out.

Here is my car at the body shop getting the front fenders flared so they will clearance the 9.5" front wheels. Luckily the shop stuck to their word and finished my project on time. I picked up the car the day before Homecoming and was able to show it off at the biggest S2000 gathering.

I think I waited 6 months for these rims to arrive. While waiting I bought 2 more sets of rims. I never mounted these TE37's. There were standard stock fitment. I ended up selling them to Nick from San Diego and we became friends after. I went down to San Diego many times to meet up with him for S2000 meets.

After lowering the car on the KW's I ordered a set of gold Volk TE37's but the wait was killing me so I picked up a set of Blitz Type 01's. The lips of the wheels were polished and the faces were powder coated white. The bolts where also polished before rebuilding the rims. The fronts are 17x8+45 and the rears are 17x9+45. I also added a replica Mugen lip but it was too low to the ground and it was not long before it became too damaged so I took it off and picked up a Amuse R1 front bumper.

It did not take long before I started modifying my ride. Before the motor was even broken in I installed Kwv3 coil overs, removed the side badges and replaced the “H” badges with authentic JDM red “H” badges.
