My friend's S2000. It's wild.

My friend is building this s2000 and I feel like sharing it here. He started earlier in the spring and has said a couple of times that the car is no where near where he plans on taking it. It's going to be something to watch unfold. I can't wait to see what it ends up looking like.



























He has asked me to accompany him to his first track day with it at VIR on Monday. It should be interesting.

horry shet!

I'm normally not a fan of cars done up that much, but it actually works really well IMO. He probably likes his open air motoring, but a hardtop would really complete the look.

That is a nice looking car. I think the Invo tires are one of the best looking tires with a slight stretch due to the sidewall. Tell him he needs to do a J35/37 swap

Looks great besides the wing and wheel color.

Nice work.

If it were mine, I may change the wheel color...really nit picking though, it looks fantastic. I don't mind wings like that on cars that look like they can rip pavement up.

How much farther can he take that, it looks awesome right now!

Although I'm not a fan of the green/red combo, it still looks sic.

Crazy aero for his first track day.
Definately well put together, but I hope he has a ton of experience on track.

Beauty.

Very well built so far. I honestly can say I would have bought the same parts. The AMUSE kit, and the VOLTEX spoiler and the same color and the wheel color... except the TE37. I'm not a fan of those wheels at all personally.

The only other kit I would pick over this is the full VOLTEX kit. Absolutely beautiful.

Yeah, Honda S 2000 is absolutely one of the finest cars that Honda ever manufactured.

A really fun car and a great value for an awesome roadster. They will eventually become a collectible and be worth every dollar for pure sports driving pleasure.

Not the way I'd do up my S2000, but it looks well executed.

His instructor was impressed with his s2000 and told him he should be proud of it. He also bumped Jeremy up from the green group to blue. Jeremy said he has a new respect for the s2000 after driving it on the track.
