Same! i've always wanted them
I was devo when i saw the price of them brand new but im glad i found these

It's about that time for little progress update,

Not much has been done since the wheels were put on...

I was on the way to getting my guards rolled when this happened after turning into a shopping centre driveway, the tyres pressed into the guard and pushed the inner lip out, the guard roller ended up getting it back in and it's not too bad now, that guard is a little munted but oh well it was bound to happen lol



After rolling the guard i took it for an alignment, I got the front camber maxed out to what they told me is 3.2 degrees, I have doubts about the stock camber adjusters reaching that degree, but i trust the garage 88 machine is telling me the truth lol, and the rear i got set to 2.5 degrees.
Heres how she sits now..







really need to get some good pics on a good camera very soon!

anyways, i got onto removing the air pump now that I have the Haltech ECU I am able to delete the cel from removing it.



And now for the beginning of something i have always wanted to do to this car. I have picked up part 1 of my rotrex supercharger build, TTS low mount rotrex charger bracket and all the pulleys i will need.



I will be running a rotrex C38-92, walbro 400 fuel pump and 1000cc injectors, possibly on e85 but i haven't made the decision yet, I'm looking to net 260-280kw atw on 98 pump on 16psi and just over 300kw on e85.

Till next time

Awesome, looking forward to the supercharger update. I'm surprised that you got -3.2 degrees on stock adjusters. That's a lot of power you're making already! Good stuff.

[felixR]

Oh wow.

[Beatz]

Wow, this thing will fly!

[Flippit]

I'll be right behind you with that supercharger next year bro

2 x SSM supercharged S2000's through bossley hahah love it!

Yeah i didn't think i could get that much camber on the stock adjusters, and i still don't think it's at 3.2 degree's but we'll see when i take the car for the next alignment somewhere else if the garage 88 machine was lying lol.

Badly, they lack low end power

Circuit Club next month July 19th im going you better come with

[steve d]

I'm definitely down for that!

Update time before I head to wakefield park on Saturday...

since buying the car it has really needed brakes due to the stock rotors being warped causing shuddering when braking from high speeds, it got really bad after the first track day. I contemplated doing a BBK but i think i'll leave that for when the car has power.

I purchased some Dixcel FR type slotted rotors and Hawk racing pads, only for the front for now.



While i was there i installed some Goodridge braided brake lines front and back





After all that was installed i flushed out the OEM brake fluid for new Castrol react dot 4 brake fluid.



I took the car for a run to bed the brakes in and it felt awesome, it should be more than enough for the track.

During a facebook and forum search i came across some genuine Bride zeta 3's advertised by a fellow aus s2k member, they were up for a good price but i ended up getting them down to a great price with genuine Bride s2k rails.



They're a very tight fit, slightly rubbing on the door cards and it takes a bit of effort to get the centre console door to open but it does still open. Overall i cant complain they're a great seat, the seating position is perfect for me, nice and low.



I'm really looking forward to seeing what the car can do on the track with the mods that i've done.
The last track day I achieved a 1:14.3 completely stock with a full interior/boot etc and 205 f and 225 r conventional Falken tyres and no real set alignment.

This time around I will be going out with the following mods...
BC BR coilovers
Invidia q300 cat-back + HFC
Haltech platinum pro tuned 154kwatw (previously 140kw)
S90 throttle body
Dixcel brake rotors + hawk pads + braided brake lines
Bride Zeta's
Volk RE30 215/45/17 F 235/45/17 R Dunlop Direzza's

I'm hoping to crack 1:12's obviously still being restricted by weak tyre specs. However I will be hitting the track again on September the 9th with either ad08r's or hankook r-s3's in much stronger specs.

I'll keep the thread updated on the track progress, video's and a wrap up to come after saturday the 9th

Unexpected update:

Didn't expect these things to arrive today...

I have taken big inspiration from Japanese S2000 and Lotus tuning company "Arvou" and after seeing their silverstone NA S2000 with the green windscreen banner I had to have it, it was a huge mission to get but it was worth it, I also decided to purchase an Arvou weighted gear knob while i was there.



Not a fan of the 'H' pattern stickers so i left them off.

The banner, pre-cut to fit the s2000 windscreen
