Before the S2000 I had a 98 Spec JDM DC2, unfortunately back in December it was written off due to hitting black ice and the rear quarter hitting a tree. Here's it in its former glory! haha

After breaking the Teg and a few months of getting the bus I was sick of it and decided it was time to get a new project. A JDM S2000 came up for sale near me and a deal was soon made and it was brought back to the Isle.

Although being a good base there were a few things I wasn't keen on, the centre caps had to go along with the chrome wheel nuts, stickers had to be removed and it had to be raised and suspension setup properly. The same day it ended looking like this, I had also fitted my Spoon titanium gearknob, Personal steering wheel and NRG removable hub which improved the driving position 100% where I'm lanky haha!

The next weekend the messy job of undersealing the car started, along with some coilover socks fitted to protect the roads from ruining them. A pheasant also decided to have a fight with my front bumper so new number plates were purchased

It originally had a single exit Spoon N1 on it but it just didn't sound quite right to me, luckily a J's Racing 60RS Ti came up for sale. Having always wanted one for the Teg it had to be done!

It sounds amazing and is definitely one of my favourite mods done so far!
A Password JDM cold air feed was then purchased, I never understood why the air was sucked in over the radiator?! Made a huge difference along with an oil change, transmission fluid change, spark plug change and painting the brake calipers black.
It was then finally given a machine polish ready for the first Mimms of the year. Was lucky enough to have fast car take a couple of pics of it as well!

When driving the S2000 I always felt like I was about to fall out of the door. After having a Bride in my DC2 I decided to get another with a Buddy Club low rail.

I was never keen on the white fighters and they weren't a staggered set. A staggered set of black Regamasters came up for sale and I took the plunge.

They looked great but the offsets weren't ideal so it was decided to try and flare my arches out.
