I think I was trying to justify selling the top, it does look great. I still do love the mugen rep though, you can paint the window section the same color if that's the part you despise.

One day, this car with the hardtop option and painfully low miles will sell for a fortune. (most likely the CR)

mark my words.

 

what do you mean by "mostly the CR"?
Or did you mean MORE than a CR?

 

Man, I want an s2k as a summer car. Debating still... :/

 

Don't debate, do it!

 

I mean a CR will be the mostly likely to fetch a large sum one day. if anybody manages to keep one in a time capsule.

 

Pay off college loans
Buy new apt or house
Pay off TL .................. or.............. Buy S2K
Upgrade TL
Invest

 

Gotcha, other RS...Yeah, they do fetch a pretty penny!
Joniell...you already know, the most responsible one will be the suckiest! YOLO, buy one!

 

you'll pay off the TL eventually.

you're young man.. no ragrets. do it.

 

...not even one letter, huh?

actually...being rich later in life will be directly impacted by the decisions made now. pay off TL, use that $400/month to start a retirement fund. Buy S2000 cash along with traveling the world and drinking only the finest cognac at retirement time. Easy.

 

lol

 

I wish I had taken that advice 15 years ago...not too late, but the earlier the better!

 

I have 401k, but whats left over is for spending... I might get hit by a fossilized poo clump from a 747 tomorrow.. and I don't wanna die from that poo clump without knowing I did what I could, when I could.

 

Yeah, true...there's a balance, obviously.
Well, if it's any indication, the only reason the S is gone was to pay back a loan on my 401K we took for the house. House, worth it...keeping the S and taking another 2 years to pay off the loan when $600 were being taken out of my check a month didn't make much sense to me. I loved the S very much but if I change how I looked at that...I wouldn't be willing have a $600/month payment on it. Make sense?

 

Yolo!

 

Yo, Low! How you doing, Dennis?

 

I'm doing good man. House projects keeping me busy. Might pull the trigger on some ce28 for the S. Ready to let my TL go but not sure if it's worth it

 

Funny, a month prior to selling the S, I was saying S stays, TL goes...get truck for house projects.

I'm so full of shit.

I also miss my S very much.

 

This thread is being pushed to the bottom thanks to the picture whore who sold his S2000



No real updates since swapping over my door - not thrilled about the paint matching but hey, looks better than a colossal sized dent in your driverside door.

Rocker panel repair will be done eventually, in the meantime a bandaid will do it:



I changed my oil last weekend - no real crazy oil consumption .. really haven't been pushing the car very hard because I feel the clutch is getting weak. I'm thinking of just going OEM, should be about a $900 job w/ the flywheel being resurfaced.

Stop smiling so much.

 

Who?

Tyler, looks great...don't sweat the door, they can fan out and blend it into fenders when you do the rocker panel...!

 

Some times you just have to do a pull.

Nothing like fall air & a fresh oil change

 

Man...that looks great

 

Your S2K is looking good, Tyler!

The bandaid looks cute. Just keep it like that.

 

Thanks guys!

A couple people have laughed at the bandaid "fix" so far, so it'll work til I have to do a $1000+ rocker panel repair

 

I think it looks great!
For a thousand bucks buy a bolt on kit!

 

Met with a guy that had 17x9 +45 rpf1 all around.

He even had 25mm spacers up front.

And on that note. I'm changing to rpf1s
17x9 squared.

In sbc if I can find a set. Otherwise silver.

 

That fitment plus 25mm spacer is nuts!

 

I was surprised. When I walked up I figured it was just the 17x9. And I said "that's why I didn't go with these wheels.

Then he told me how he was running 25mm up front and that when he first mounted the wheels alone he just needed a slight roll. Same with the rear.

They'll fit fine. I can change height and tires to fit safely. Can't wait.

His tires weren't really stretched either.

 

What size front tire? I can't see a +20 9" wheel fitting with such modest modification.

 

215 in front. i'll get a picture. I found him through meet pictures on IG later that day.

 

I couldn't find any "fitment" pics on his IG.

the last pic is the only one I have with his car in it from sunday.
his front and rears were rolled.

 

I'll only give you one piece of advice in reference to front S2000 fenders.

Once you fk them, you'll feel like a real fkng idiot and wish you'd have kept things reasonable.

+45 9" up front, fine...an extra 20MM but only a 215 tire just to be hella flush seems like the wrong direction to go in.

 

Im not gonna run the spacer lol

I was using that as a reference that the +45 will fit fine.

 

Oh, I know that...

as low as I was, I had no issues with that set up. My RS are actually for sale on CL and S2KI.

and that was sitting pretty low. Seemed like a good fitment setup...the old owner tracks his car and he was encouraging me to raise the car and go 245 all around.

were yours 45 sidewalls up front or 40?

 

OEM size.
215/45
245/40

 

Over the weekend...

 

I'm assuming local aholes tag up those gorgeous arches, hence the white paint?

Gorgeous, Ken...really. Gonna have to put away for the winter soon, huh?

 

Yeah, I moved this summer back to Portland which has 6 months of drizzle and grey skies. That's the one and only thing I miss about southern Oregon, it has about 10 months of sun. Even January was high 50's and sunny there.

 

Probably a stupid question, but what wheels are these?
