The Official Honda S2000 Thread

My sister & brother in-law picked up an early 90s Wrangler for $1500 3 years ago. First thing they did was paint it with heavy-duty lime green bedliner, and quite literally beat the shit out of it on tight trails & rock crawling for 3 years.
No rocker guards? No problem.
Solution? Four car garage.
I had to sell that offroad/rally civic, unfortunately. I really enjoy driving on dirt. My friend was going through an "off the grid" phase and renting a farm house at the time and had 10 acres to set up a dirt track on...so I got convinced into building that civic.
By convinced (key word CON), I bought a perfectly good type R swapped and modded civic from a friend who lost the title. I wanted to give him a few days to find the title so I could sell the car for respectable coin. None of my friends liked this plan...so they kicked in all the fenders while it was parked and one of them drew a giant cock and balls on it with a screwdriver.

So....I showed back up to the shop and noticed "something is different about this car". But I couldn't put my finger on it. So I decided to put some tall shocks and snow tires on it, remove anything that weighed anything...transform...and roll out. Best decision ever.
I promptly blew the engine a few weeks (and 10 million jumps, rev limiter bangs, and over revs later). Threw in a mint ass D15B. And then had to sell it because my buddy moved out of the farm house. Or it collapsed. Whichever came first.

The running costs were 0, though. It burned oil...which would usually become bothersome. But I had a BUNCH of used oil and gear oil left over. ZERO problems.
JK. It blew up. I would not recommend my practices.

I went into college trying to decide whether I wanted to be a billionaire astronaut...or a hollywood celebrity race car driver. Shoulda been the latter. All it would have taken is one more women's study class.
But back then, I was all "yo baby, to me you're an object fuggedaboudit".

I woke up from a dream today of a random friend having a Grand Pricks white AND a Laguna Blue Pearl S2K parked at my house because they were off to vacation or something.. Popped the hood to LBP and wow what a mess... Rusted all over, dirty engine bay, and the worst part for me was HIDExtra ballasts hanging by a thread with improperly terminated OEM wires just shoved into the ballast.. I was so disappointed ...
the baby deserved a better home.
In hindsight, I guess that's more a nightmare than a dream..

I might not be installing the window rollup module. Trade for some type s heads? 
once I have the window visors and leave windows cracked for heat reasons, I will pretty much never be able to use the rollup again...plus, I don't like to leave the sunroof shade pulled back, so I have to do that manually anyway.
