I was tempted to buy an anniversary bumper that came on sale near me, but I ultimately chose to not just save money, but to also keep the spirit of my OEM+ build. Personally I think this adds a lot of definition to the front face.
Greddy lip cost me ~$180, and paint job costs me ~$300
I ended up doing some repairs and maintenance on my S2000, and took these shots yesterday morning after I did a canyon road run
I just got back home from a little road trip. I got the car washed upon returning so I took some shots of my S2000
I got my wheels powdercoated as someone came in to spray paint my wheels and it ruined the look. The silver is a bit bright but I did ceramic coat these, so I’ll take care of the finish. Other than that, I got a Greddy lip. I’ll discuss with my body shop on paint matching and proper fitment
Took this pic while filling up my S2000 because I really do be consuming a LOT of fuel, lol
I finally met other people with an S2000 and we convoyed to 2 car meets, also we branched off and did our own S2000 meet at a rooftop garage. Nice to meet other S2000 owners for once (in person)
I’m without my S2000 for around 3 weeks while I’m on a work trip. I left it with my mechanic to get a lot of work done while I’m gone. Here’s a pic I took before I left
I’ve been using my S2000 a few times a week, sometimes I take it to the office but usually I take it around on weekends to drive nice roads, hang around the city, and run my errands. I work for a “certain” EV company and I feel confident I made the right choice to enjoy the S2000 as a new grad and a new professional. Last pic is why I wanted an S2000 so badly
(this is like a preview to me finally posting a car related post on my personal instagram page lol)
BC Racing, no fenders rolled, ~1.5” drop. I have 245/40/17’s and my wheel specs are 17x9, +45 offset, square.
Very last photo is on the stock setup, a before-shot
I recently got these AP2 style headlights installed. My main goals was to upgrade my car to AP2 styling (gradually) and to find an option that isn’t known for water condensation. I drove this in the rain and accidentally left it outside in the rain, it held up well. The LED conversion makes it so much brighter as I live somewhere wity very few street lights until you reach my neighbourhood.
Someone around my city recently got Ohlins and rebuilt them. They switched from BC’s to Ohlins and they said it wasn’t worth it. I know for sure how their S2000 was driven and the BC’s weren’t used much. So I’m now installing these on my car as I’ve been riding too high
I got a little polaroid printed out, honestly where’s the best place to keep one? I’m not keeping it here longterm haha
I just moved to ATX after graduating in December 2025. I used to live in the Bay, NYC, and Columbus. Sure traffic here isn’t bad as it is in California. But for some reason it just feels agonizing. I’m glad this isn’t my everyday commute. Plus I almost got side swiped 3 times today… wtf
Currently I drive my CR-Z (Championship White, yes I repainted it) most days and my S2000 (GPW) 1-3 days a week. I’m gathering parts for the S2000 like coilovers, Billman TCT, painting the hardtop, etc… to finish my OEM+ build. As for the CR-Z, I will phase this out later this year. Thinking of taking back my Macan that I am renting out to my cousin or getting a new daily.
Anyways here’s two white Hondas for show! Let me know what you’d replace the CR-Z with!
(I prefer Wagons as a daily, only SUV’s I like are the 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Macan, or Cayenne)
I got a spare Mugen style hardtop, check second pic. I got it in time as I’m starting to have a tear in my soft top. I need user input on two things, the colour choice of the hardtop (it’s unpainted right now) and if I shoild remove the soft top entirely.
I got my S2000 late March. Now it’s been 2 months and I did a lot in terms of cosmetic restoration, paint correction, and maintenance / preventative repairs.
This is a grad gift to myself as I just graduated and got a great job, definitely beats buying a Rolex (right?)
I was talking / texting my girlfriend tonight and had a view of this beauty
Also side note I just moved to a new house. I’m not even 25 yet and my car insurance dropped from $450/ 6-months to $380/ 6-months…
I got side swiped by someone who illegally crossed the white line (where the exit lane diverges). Thankfully insurance did not deem myself totalled, especially with the complexity of having a Japanese vin number in the US.
Since then I found another S2000 (USDM) owner locally. While she did try to scam me out of our trade, I was able to contact her friends to get what I was promised and money back for work that was never done. But I did swap out my carbon bonnet and carbon intake (not pictured) to go back to stock. I also got her RPF1’s (which she stripped parts of the original finish). Now I just need coilovers and to swap exhaust with someone with a quieter, non-OEM dual exit setup.
(I put the AP2 V1’s back on my daily driver)
Car is getting detailed + paint corrected this weekend. I just need to lower her, order a Greddy Lip, subtle side skirt flare, and my OEM+ build is pretty much complete. Quick considering I got this S2000 mid-March and the accident happened early-April.
Insurance:
An actual adjuster came out. They estimated ~$3,000 of work is needed claiming the bumper and fender need replaced. I spent less than half that as a body shop repaired it, no filler was used. Rest of the payout is essentially going towards cosmetically restoring my S2000
I got my S2000 repaired after a sideswipe. I will go in for a paint correction shortly but this indoor facility is pretty sick to say the least.
Again my goal for my RHD S2000 is to use this for spirited driving, I don’t plan to track mine. I like an OEM+ car, which is why I went back to a stock bonnet and intake.
Other things I want done this summer is:
- Paint my Forbidden hardtop white (not pictured or installed)
- Coilovers w/ -1.0° (at most) front camber and minimal ro the rear
- Refinish the RPF1’s
- Ceramic Tint
- Replace TCT to a better one
- Valve adjustment + AP2 retainers
- Stainless Steel braided brake lines
