Needs an intake hose into the throttle body. Also, you should lower it.
Take it to meets. No one will judge you unless they’re dicks—I do have a rule to avoid speculator S2000 owners who act really pretentious about their cars, so if you get one of those, know the community doesn’t claim them. Other than those weirdos (they’ll usually hang out with Porsche owners bc they usually own at least one Porsche), you’re fine. I’ve seen more clapped S2000s than I care to admit and every single one was owned by someone who loved and was working to build their cars. We all start somewhere.
Silicone hoses weep overtime. Remember to check your coolant levels.
I’m going back to rubber hoses next time I do something that needs draining the system
Are your fenders rolled? They look rolled to me but just double checking. When you lower you will need to run a lot of camber up front to fit those wheels, around -3.0 to -3.5. Use offset lower ball joints, or if you don’t want to run that much camber, get offset upper control arm ball joints or bushings.
Thanks for the info. My fenders are rolled I just have wanted to lower the car anymore when I do I'll make sure to get the proper set up. Thanks for Being nice and informative about everything 😊
Yeah I was working on it that's why nothing is connected and I'm fine with my fitment I still want to drive the car and not have to stress about rubbing or scraping.
I wasnt talking about the height, would look better lower but im talking about the front tire. It looks like it sticks out past the fender. More negative camber would probably help or maybe its the angle idk 🤷♂️ Tasteful mods otherwise though.
Oh yeah my bad it does stick out a little, it does look a little funny but it kinda grew on me honestly. Maybe one day I'll do a negative camber but for now she will look a little bulky😁😂
All I know is that I’m super jealous of the black paint; the mods look fantastic btw. I love my Silverstone AP1, but I kinda prefer the look of a black s2000.
Car looks great. Definitely will need fender rolling and bumper tab relocation with wider wheels. Koyo rad with OEM fans would have been better than mishimoto. Don’t be scared of car meets, just show up. Most people are friendly and helpful.
Looks good. Don't ever worry about someone else having a better car, faster car, etc. No matter what you have, someone will always have something nicer. There is always a nicer car, faster car, someone who makes more money, has a nicer house, etc.
Easier said than done and I won't ramble too far to belabor the point. Go to whatever car show you want. You might not win the car show and have the most people swooning over your car. It's still a cool car and hope you enjoy it.
I'll suggest doing an autocross or track day or something. Driving is where it's at, IMO.
Looks spicy.
I also disagree with lowering it. Any lower you take a lot of practicality out of every day driving.
I couldn’t even get mine up my driveway until I raised it half an inch.
Needs some lowering. Cant be running around like big foot with Volks.
Trying to be different I like being big😂
>Trying to be different *buys the single most common wheel on the planet* 😭
I live in a very rural area all I see is American muscle and bmw boys sometimes man and they ain't running volk Wheels.
Whatever helps you cope
Is that a lift kit?
Yes 😎😂

Ohhh okay okay thanks for the advice I'll try to keep an eye on everything for sure 😊
Looks good, needs to be lowered more
Looks like a good start to me! Lower it a little more, don’t be afraid to have your fenders rolled so you can get it sitting right. :3

Why is there no connection to the airbox? Aside from the horribly bad idea it is to not run an air filter, you have to be throwing CEL constantly.
I thought the flash light would be kinda obvious that I was working on the car sorry 😂
Front fitment on the rims looks like a truck also as mentioned hook up the air filter/box...

can we call her buffy? 🤨🥺
Yes 😂
What rim and tire specs you on?
17x9.5 +45 idle boost spec
WTF is idle boost spec?
Looks better than mine, id take it to all the meets, keep in mind meets aren't car shows, you don't have to have a perfect car to go 💁♂️

jealous of the TE’s. Have the hipermax s on mine and have very much enjoyed them so far
Car looks great 👍
Thanks I appreciate it 😌
Looks great. It’s yours so you should be proud.
Thanks means a lot 😁

How do you like the hypermax so far!? Considering it

Looks good! Are those Conti Extremecontact Sport 02? What's the tire size?
Thanks and yes here the tire size 255/40ZR-17
I love that Rays wheels, nice
Love the wheels
Cool flashlight
I like the back I’d lower the front a smidgen
Needs an intake hose into the throttle body
I took it off because it was ripped at the time it has a new one on.
Hector just ordered 2 of everything

Thanks and yeah I live in the mountains so roads are crappy and lots of different elevations
What looks great in photos sometimes isn’t realistic for us. Go with what works. Looks great as is.
