Hi guys I've been a long time jdmst user so I'm familiar with a few of you and I'm sure a few of you are familiar with my old eg civic build
http://forum.jdmstyletuning.com/show...in-progress%29
Anyone who follows over on jdmst will know at the end of last year I lost my license and parted it out and started looking for a new car.
This is where this build thread begins
since parting it out ive been saving and searching for my replacement car. with the prospect of open license soon and turbo cars becoming a possibility the spectrum of what i could buy was limitless (well almost haha)
with all these options though i somehow I kept coming back to a car id always loved and always wanted to own. With this in the mind the decision became easy. I was going to buy a s2000. Now for the not so easy part, finding one that wasn't a piece of shit. A tough task but not impossible!
The search began and straight away it seemed like a doomed cause. Shitty bodywork to thrashed engines to repairable write offs and everything in between. Months of searching seemed to have been wasted until along came a bloke who was buying parts off my civic who turned out to be looking to sell his s2k. I kept in contact and about a month later I owned this baby.
2001 ap1 model
Silverstone silver
64,500 genuine kms
No accident/repair history nothing!
Full log book history
Clean as a whistle
Completely stock minus head unit, alarm and a carbing front strut brace
Now the car isn't perfect it's got a couple little body marks and the rear tow hook cover was stolen recently but I was happy. A price was agreed on and I was now the owner of the car I'd always wanted
A few little surprises came with it in the way of a car cover, torneau cover and stock head unit and cd stacker.
I kept a few little parts from the civic which will make their way onto the s2k
-spoon reservoir socks
-spoon oil cap
-takata harness
-spoon/type one decals
Of course me being me I began buying parts for the car even before a purchase was made. The list currently stands at
-itr red stitching shift boot
-Mugen ball type shift knob
-js racing cooling plate
-js racing tsuchinoko intake
-hood damper struts
-oem ap2 radio cover
-oem rear tow hook cover
-black leather s2000 seats
-eBay rep ap1 front lip
-bride zeta 3 type L bucket seats
I plan on having this car for a while so every modification will be done to get the car to a stage that I like. So far all the parts that have arrived/are in the mail are touch up or visual parts (debatable with the intake).
At the moment the parts I add to the car will be purely aesthetic as I want to drive the car stock for a while and learn it and experience it stock and see what it is capable of and then Start upgrading engine parts and suspension and bracing and see how it improves etc. This is something I never did with the civic. I'd also love to get it to the track early next year to see what it has got as a stock car and use this as something to compare back to.
That's basically it at the moment as I've owned the car since Monday night. I'll be at the jdmyard meet on Saturday hanging with friends and showing off my stock car Come say hi. I'm the guy with a shitload of tattoos haha
peace!
