What's up SW? Figured I'd post up some details for my upcoming winter/spring build. I'm starting to acquire parts now, things are beginning to pile up, and as soon as I can get the car out of storage it will be going under the knife.

First a little history I've owned the car since December '05, and since then it has been constantly evolving into what it is now. Here is a quick picture time line of the car since I have owned it.

I will update this thread as new parts arrive and are installed. Thanks for looking!

So now that you know what I'm starting off with this year, I'll show you what I have planned for this year.

First off, I have been a huge fan of the low lifestyle for a long time, even before my S2000, with my old '88 Honda Prelude Si 4WS.



So, after finally talking myself into selling my LE37T's I have decided to go flush. After doing much research, scouring many different sources, finding out what will "fit" and what won't, I've come up with my new wheels.

I am in the process of buying a set of the brand new TE37SL's in a non-staggered 18x10 et+40, and will be running 255 35 18's all around.






They should fit like this:



To go along with the wheels I will also be changing my lugs out for a set of S2Carbonworks Titanium lugs from GoTuning Unlimited.



Since I will be running a fair bit of camber to make these work, I picked up a set of T1R front and rear anti-bumpsteer kits. In the rear the toe arms will let me adjust my toe into spec so that I don't rape my tires.




While I am doing the additional bodywork to accomodate the new shoes, I will be shaving my side mirrors (selling the CraftSquares) in favor of a new set of MRacing Type I carbon fiber mirrors. This moves the mounting location off of the door and up onto the A-pillar.



That's it for now, but I'll update it as I get into it. Let me know what you think so far!

I like it, I liked the stock front bumper with the lip more and the carbon hood is a lil overkill...

[fivefourzero]

lose the hood, other than that it looks like its been evolving nicely. the sl's should look mean on the black/red theme

[brat]

very good!

[MadMax]

I somehow love S2K´s but this one could be above the average

[AccordKnight]

Nice this looks like it should be a great build. Sub'd

[S2tripleO]

Thanks for the love guys...I've been working on my sticker collection, gonna be repping SW





















Still want a few more...would like to get a static one of some sort, any other essentials you guys recommend?

[Petis]

There isn't enough glass room on an S to support that many stickers.

^I had to fight through that statement, because what I really wanted to say was, don't ruin, what could be, a cool car with a shit-load of stickers.

[S2tripleO]

Haha, I probably won't run them all, and if I do, it'll likely be on the rear window of an OEM hardtop.

[Rusty62]

Looks good dude. Love the stickers!

[S2tripleO]

Ok, mini update here. Ordered my complete new brake setup, Hawk HPS pads, Centric (Stoptech) slotted rotors, Challenge SS Lines, and ATE super blue fluid.




Sold the LE's, here is how the car is sitting at present waiting for it's new shoes.



Also picked up a sick rare Illest and a red fatlace stciker, to add to my collection.





Stay tuned... rolling & pulling the rear fenders this weekend.

Also, if anyone has the "Bags are for 40's" sticker from Stance Design, I will buy it, I want one badly.

Shoot me a PM, I'm pretty sure I have one or two left over even though we're not making stickers anymore.
