To start off here's MY04 S2000 shortly after I picked the car up, bone stock with 20K miles on the odometer:

And here is how the car is currently sitting 4 years later... Rather depressing but never forgotten


Here's how the car got to that point...
Traditionally I was all into the low and slow style, staying out of trouble and bombing around with friends great right? Then I picked up a s2000 and was face with the difficult decision of stretch the tires or barrel them over and get some grip with a meaty stance and enjoy the bag out of the car. The last car was a cut up scion tC that was on air ride and a set of BBS RS and when I picked this up I quickly decided to go polar opposite.
So what do I do first? Pick up wheels and coilovers, a K&N intake and a invidia N1 exhaust
So I tracked down a set of traditional japanese wheels and had a goal in mind so I found these 17x9 17x8 Advan SA3Rs



But they were rather hideos so I quicly powdercoated them black and bought a set of APR carbon mirrors... Why? I have no clue as with a lot of parts on this car they will get replaced down the road anyways




This was all fine and good but the GF/soon to be X ***** the sound of the invidia exhaust so I ditched it and picked up a berk high flow cat and greddy ti-c exhaust.
Right on but then this happened...
I stumbled upon this video of the Js Racing touge s2000 and fell in love with the world of high end Honda builds
So I picked up a Js racing carbon intake
Js racing SPL header
Js racing 70rr in titanium
All the same components on the touge car and also slapped on an APR splitter around the same time.
Coming with these I snagged a greddy emanage ultimate and got a tune picking up 30WHP and 27 FT-LBS of torque, dropping vtec to 4K RPMs and getting a lot of responsiveness out of the car.

Awesome, now the car feels great but I wanted more responsiveness so it was time to ditch the HEAVY SA3Rs for some cheaper functional cheap wheels so what does every JDM kid do... Pick up RPF1s 17x9 +45 with 255/40/r17 Nitto NT05s


And I grabbed an OEM hardtop that is still sitting in storage...

Around this time to my surprise Js racing aero parts started hitting the market... So I jumped on what I could...
Js Full carbon hood:


And a picture of the project S2000 with my old daily AP1

Then a Js racing AP1 lip showed up, same as off the touge car with the dry carbon canards ( still never installed ), I also picked up an ASM dry carbon trunk and a pair of craftsquare mirrors


At this point the car needed more power and I wanted to more rubber under the car...
So I tracked down a Comptech v1 supercharger good for about 300WHP running a paxton1000 and a pair of carbon +30MM fenders and decided to do some supporting modifications to get me to my goal.
- ID1000
- Hondata KPRO
-Oversized heat exchanger
-Oil Cooler


And then one day i show up and my mechanic knowing I love titanium surprised me with a titanium intake he fabricated to replace the POS comptech one


At this point the Paxton1000 died on the dyno so we ordered up a Paxton1200 (flows better than the 1220) and the goal is responsive power not just numbers. We also opted to replace the clutch with a ACT HDSS good for 370 FT-LBS CRANK
Awesome, good to go? Nope hit the dyno:

Made 440WHP/330 FT-LBS and then after the car has been in the shop for 8+ months I get the call that ends a 18 month relationship... Dan the motor blew, coolant dropped in the cylinders and 2&3 are dead. I was a bit beat up but understood these things happen the car came stock with 240HP and we are now at +200 HP at the wheels, god knows how much at the crank after factoring in the supercharger and drivetrain loss... 600 range?
The KICKER? They hadn't even added more than the base timing so here is where we are now:

The car sitting with my current daily ('14 BRZ) DON'T BUY ONE... most boring car on Fn Earth!
Picked up a new sleeved block that's getting punched out to 2.4L, all new internals, set of cams, roll bar, blah blah blah blah... Why not right? I'm single now after all
All and all the car should be a monster, I'll be up front and state I've lost a lot of interest in the car as I haven't sat in it for over a year, I am completely disconnected with the motor build and merely write a check once a month to continue funding it because I know the car will be a blast when it's done.
My only requirement right now for the shop? Build me a motor capable of handling 900HP and start pricing out a differential and transmission and go through the details when it's done. I basically gave Scotty S2K Ballistic free rains with what's left to be done and that is what he is doing.
