Kicking myself for not taking any pictures at C&C, but I did get a few others this weekend.
All wiped down:
S2000 finally got a bath:
Visited my mother an hour north and decided to take a long detour.
Highway 101 ftw!![Drool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/drool.gif)

Looks awesome, Tyler! After washing, I can never decide whether or not to leave the car in or take it out. Ultimately, driving trumps hate - er cleanliness, or whatever.

It's the kind of cruising where you don't need to go too fast .. just enjoying the scenery with the music up / windows down.

Ah I remember taking the old K03's out of mine. Those oil lines are a pain in my A$$!
If I were to do it again I would have just cut them to remove them and replace them with new braided lines.

Cheers to a B5 owner! Do you still have it?
I have stainless steel oil feed & wastegate lines on my list. I have a friend who's battling a torn wastegate line right now (dry rotted to hell), I'm helping him replace it tomorrow night

Now ... THIS is how you pack turbos.
Turbos were packed into separate boxes and nicely padded - no damaged from shipping. Jason / Taco - you guys were right .. SRM packed them like shit.
One thing I really like about the B5 community is most owners you talk to is knowledgeable, resourceful, and offers a helping hand. Couple beers & bullshitting aside, we managed to replace a torn wastegate line on his Stage 3 car and it boosts normally now ... car is bonkers fast. Powerband feels violent compared to mine.![Drool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/drool.gif)

Looking nice dude, that color never gets old.

Still quite a few eventuallys on my list
.
Prospective upgrades:
- New & higher output headlights, possible retrofit.
- 6 piston Porsche 18Z calipers, stainless steel brakelines, new pads, new front & rear rotors
- JHM drivetrain stabilizer & upgraded transmission mounts
- New flat bottom B5 / B8 steering wheel
- Amp & small 8 / 10 inch subwoofer
At this point, I'm saving pennies for a clutch & downpipes and all preparatory items for the motor pull.
Chipping away at my list .. I purchased an intake w/ an 85mm MAF this morning.

well you see.. if you accept a headlight retrofit as a wedding gift, then the wife would probably annul the wedding, kick you out of the house, and then she'd have the bed all to herself, thus making it 2x more comfortable

At $50, if they have your size, these may be a good temporary upgrade. It was 100% a massive improvement in the F150, and no issues to date.
