Lovely bit of fabrication there I wish I had the time, the resourses, the space and the skill to do that stuff....can't wait to see it....

316 stainless eh.

No point in half measures.

Altered the boost pipe today and its at the powder coater's, this is how it looked once altered. Just had to fully weld it after this photo. Should hopefully get both back Monday to refit it all. Bloody tight now in the bay

Great work.

The S2000 looks great with the Mugen bumper and the Mugen roof also.

Yeah it looks good with the mugen roof but what's the point the car was designed as a soft top. If you want a coupe buy one.

Loving that!!! S2000s are mental - I imported one for my mum many years ago when they were quite new (2002) and I loved it. Mental drive as standard so that thing should be absolutely awesome. Always remember the car being v tail happy too so would imagine the blown one is uber fun. Look forward to seeing that car, nice one

The early ones pre 2004 were tail happy but after that they were less so. The car is extremely well planted with the power, not so much in the wet.

Anyway the pipe work and intercooler is back from the powder coater's and fitted to the car. Having driven the car home this evening and looking at the logs I think the car is producing about an extra 0.5-1psi of boost. (That's as long as I have read the logs correctly). Taking the car tomorrow to have AD08's fitted all round

Jeez mate, was just a comment.
Better in the winter with a hard top

The Supercharger in there fits a treat

Didn't mean it like that just don't like hard tops on any convertible. With the weather we have in this country it might as well be a coupe lol.

It a bloody tight fit with my mods but thanks for the comments I'm really happy with how it fits and looks in there.

Had ad08's fitted this morning and love them already. I think I'm pretty much decided on having the wheels powder coated red sand textured then lacquered for a shine. It might be a total fail.

H Tech styling are sorting my rear bumper next week from where the exhaust melted through
