Just playing - I kinda like how you're keeping it simple for the time being. It still looks like a blast to drive. :) Trust me, coils will happen eventually. I've always done small stuff at first and worked up to the bigger stuff. Plus, the smaller stuff is easier to get approval from the wife :rofl:

Your front bumper looks like it's already in spectacular shape. Want to trade? Mine isn't so great since it has hit my driveway a handful of times going up/down. Even though I'd love to have one, adding a front lip is out of the question for me.

1- Turbo 2- Everything that goes with a turbo :biggrin: TintS look great and can't wait to see the lip installed.

Also, here's a friendly reminder to replace your in-cabin air filter :what: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1446/...6a0bd0d6_b.jpg I also received something in the mail today :ninja: (inb4 coilovers yet?) |

Mine certainly has its flaws. Mostly rock chips and the idiot before me cut out the passenger side vent thing and it drives me crazy :rant: |
What got cut out?
|
the fake vent on his bumper
|
the one where you put the led fogs?
|
yep
|
Hmmm...you're covering yours up with honeycomb?
|
Yep, trying to make it look more modern. If I fail, I'll just stick the fogs back in. Also have a new "modern" mod :ninja:
|
I look forward to your updates.
|
Fog lights in the S? Trying to make it a luxury car?
|
i think the car came with it.

I might have a fix for that :) I cut mine out last week and the honeycomb grill came in the mail today. I'll install once I get my bumper back from the body shop.
My rear lip spoiler arrived yesterday! I'm typically against replica parts but J spoke very highly about this product and I'm very impressed. The colormatch is perfect! It's not mounted yet...but soon. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1709/...f9a21171_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1654/...65e4e8c6_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1688/...643eb72a_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1686/...4e424da1_b.jpg |
:drool:
now that I've seen silverstone in person...that's my jam! Nice, T...appreciate the shoutout and glad you went with it! I love mine. |

Well, the time finally came to install the front lip. Before install, I had a clear bra installed since it seems that the lower part of my bumper is a magnet for rocks. You can barely tell it's on there!
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1568/...a09f7f27_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1578/...6580b64d_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1703/...c739cb5c_b.jpg Next, Chip (The Machine) assisted me in getting a powdercoated valve cover since he was having one done as well. I've always loved teal, even back when I had the TL, and I wanted to add it somehow. The wrinkle red never did much for me so this was the perfect item! He took these pictures for me before shipping. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1476/...aa220731_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1690/...5698f938_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1501/...0b001160_b.jpg And here are both items installed! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1665/...7e5e826f_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1645/...7f4f30cb_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1444/...2c0b238b_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1465/...3b6752a0_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1634/...239c0108_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1707/...586f01ff_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1706/...2919b2be_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1608/...32ebbcdc_b.jpg I went ahead and did a new valve cover gasket, tubes, and spark plugs while the cover was off. Sadly, I haven't driven my S2000 in over two weeks. I returned home from my honeymoon last Sunday and severely sprained my right ankle doing yard work, resulting me in wearing a boot and not being allowed to drive. I'm returning next week for more x-rays since it's not feeling any better. A good friend that happens to be a co-worker has been kind enough to drive me to and from work, and we took the S2000 today to knock out these installs. http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/z...zeRender_1.jpg So what's next? I need to mount the rear lip spoiler, have a paint correction done, and save my pennies for coilovers. Technically I can afford the coilovers, but my wife controls the money and she's mean :rofl: Truthfully, I've done enough to the car for now and would rather put some money into the house we bought last year. I'm at 105,565 miles, which puts me at around 10,500 miles since purchase last year. I'm still in love with the car...I just wish I could drive it :sad: |
Looks fantastic, Tyler!
Sorry about your ankle though.... |
"Yard work"
After the honeymoon... We're not fools..:rolleyes: you can be real with us: you guys got a little frisky with the dominatrix stuff and went too hard.:pervert: |
I drove my car within 3 days of knee surgery...I don't follow no damn dr orders!
Should have seen me getting out of the S with crutches and the top up...:tomato: Looks awesome, Tyler...VERY nice! Amazing how such simple additions really start transforming the look of the car. |
Coils and spacers then you can do house projects :wish:
|
Sorry to hear about your ankle bruh! I too haven't driven my S since March 31st and it's getting to the point where I'm DREAMING about driving it :rofl: (my GF thinks it's ridiculous :rofl:)
Hope you feel better man! Car looks absolutely tits right now, super clean. PS, I know SamDoe is creamin' his jeans looking at your car :precious: |
mmm...SamDoe Cream. :yum:

Also, sprained ankle doing yard work right after honeymoon? Not buying it. What did she do to you? This is a safe place, you can tell us. Pics help. Where'd you go for the trip?

Looking good Tyler. :thumbsup:
That teal looks very similar to the J's Racing valve cover teal. Either that or my monitor is just playing tricks on me. Not that you want to hear this but a few years back I severly rolled and sprained my ankle while running on a wet pool deck. Yeah pretty stupid idea I know but I was going for more beer :doh:. It took probably 2 months for most of the pain to go away and was probably 6-9 months before I didn't have any more occasional pain to it. Ankle injuries suck. On the bright side at least it isn't your clutch foot or it might take a lot longer to get back in the S. |
i'd rather clutch than gas!

A part of me was concerned with the color of the cover clashing poorly with the car but I think it looks great!

That looks awesome bro! I actually really like the new valve cover, it's really unique looking and fits well with the rest of the car.
Also, sprained ankle doing yard work right after honeymoon? Not buying it. What did she do to you? This is a safe place, you can tell us. Pics help. Where'd you go for the trip? We did a 7-day cruise visiting the Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and Grand Turk. It was great!

When I got in my car versus road bike accident, i was in an air boot for a month. Orthopedic surgeon did xray and MRI and said: Partial torn tibial tendon.
It'll be two years a week from today and my ankle still not 100% :sad: It'll never be the same again. The ankle has so many damn tendons and ligaments and small muscles... Good luck on the heal sir! |
Yay! New parts!:tomato:
|
I will repeat what I said in the recent photos thread. The valve cover looks amazing. Nice work young man! Now heal up (pun intended) so you can drive the S.
|
same here...I rolled my ankle playing bball a year ago...I still feel it. :sad:
|
I really like the updates!

Yours may heal faster cause I am stuburn and just stayed off it for like 4 days and then just wore a pair of boots I had that went above my ankle. I never actually got a brace like you have.

Today was the first time I had driven the S2k in over 3 weeks. While my ankle certainly isn't great, I couldn't resist the urge to take the car for a quick spin. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1567/...51e57a2b_b.jpg I missed driving this car SO much. I like the Tacoma, but I LOVE this damn S2k. Hell, I'll take a RCF or GSF to Cars and Coffee and still get excited about driving the S2k home :rofl: Also, don't browse Amazon when you're bored at work. I ended up ordering this oil cap for $25-ish since the OEM one looked out of place. I think it matches the silver on the spark plug cover quite nicely! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1503/...ae28ce3c_b.jpg It came with a CF decal that I'm not sure I'm sold on. While I do use Mobil 1, I don't need to be reminded of it :tomato: Plus there's no other CF for it to match with. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1714/...2329ca87_b.jpg Now you're probably wondering how I got those super-awesome pictures of my valve cover without any shadows. If you weren't...now you are. My hood went hella-JDM style, allowing me full access :mizouse: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1702/...7b02c52b_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1624/...93c54f9d_b.jpg This is what the cool Honda kids do nowadays, isn't it? :rofl: I'll be back to driving the truck this week while the S2k waits in the garage. It's a shitty feeling but I don't want to rush the recovery. Also, during the hibernation, there's a strong possibility that new parts will be coming from another Acurazine member within the next week or so :ninja: |
