Write up on the S2000 from Stu I bought my S2000 about a year and a half ago after selling my modified Mk4 Golf TDi and absolutely love it! here is my story of how my car got to where she is today
I bought the car at the beginning of 2009 I told myself that I would not modify the car as I felt it was great as it was, but as usual the modifying bug caught hold of me again and since then has come along way. In Mid 2009 I first Started by looking at different screen types to replace my current headunit I wanted something that when fitted would not look a single bit out of place and looked factory fitted. I then knew this was going to be a little harder than first thought when became clear that due to the layout of the dash and heater vents etc could not go for a standard unit with either a flip out or double din unit as they just would not fit I looked at every flip out screens to double dins out there but nothing was going to fit. I then found a system that would work in to two parts first part is a simple double DIN touch screen unit and the second is a separate box that contains all the electronic gubbins. I could then place the box in the rear of my car and still control everything from the touch screen in the front Perfect! Was then time to fabricate screen in place!
After the headunit was fitted I then wanted to add some bass and better components due to the lack of space in the boot I had the problem of finding amps small enough to fit but powerful enough for my needs I decided to go all out on JL Audio Subs, HD Amps and Components the components were a straight replacement then did a full boot build on the boot.
once this was done I did a few little bits like painting the callipers red, changing lights to LEDs, adding silicone hoses, painting the Rocker box to the same colour as the car and a GReddy Twin exit Exhaust etc but nothing serious
In February 2010 I had done all I wanted I had I loved everything about car the way it handled and sound but there was just something missing and everything seemed now boring so in Mid February 2010 I thought about selling her and starting looking at different cars for a month or so but nothing tickled my fancy.Just after I gave up hope I was just browsing through YouTube as you do and come across a Title that caught my attention "Honda S2000 Supercharged" decided to take a look and the video got hold of me and then I decided thats what I wanted to do I looked at different manufactures of bolt on superchargers and then had the chance of being a passenger in one it was fantastic it had the Handling that I loved and the sound was unbelievable so it was time to do some more research on forums etc, I was then in the mind what I wanted until I saw a post from a member saying " have you looked into turboing it ?" No never really crossed my mind so back on the researching mainly through Forums and YouTube I must add watching videos. I then decided to bite the bullet and Turbocharge it! I decided to go for a GReddy Turbo kit, It could have been a simple bolt on kit but I decided to go all out and get things done properly first time! AEM standalone ECU, More GReddy parts such as Oil cooler, Catch can, Single Exit Exhaust, Spoon Engine Parts, Skunk2 Parts, BC Coilovers and much more went into the build
Finally 6 weeks later she was back on the road till this day I have not regretted doing this to the car and is even more fun to drive. The End.....
