[Reichy]

i love s2000's
looking forward to following this build.
keep us updated man

[psiglx]

nice work ryan

[tivs31]

looks good ryan, hope to check out a bit more soon :)

[Mike_6kv]

sweet, liking these more and more :)

[EMU]

i wanna see it completed! looks like it could use a small spacer in front!

[OSSHWA]

Looks like its coming along nicely.

It reminds me of miswesta's brother's S2K (the yellow one w/ the silver Enkei's) that was on hellaflush not too long ago (Stretch vs. Meat) that can be seen here: http://fatlace.com/hellaflush/theflushness/stretch-vs-meat-s2k-battle.html

[Flavourless]

pictures don't work bummer....the car def needs 25mm spacers all the way around. I have new pics from today that I will upload in a bit :)

[Flavourless]

ok so really bummed quite a few pictures got deleted on my camera (my fault) but here are a few updates from today. Pretty much finished up all the body work. One last final sand on the rear quarters and off to primer

yes needs some serious spacing but still its a 9.5 and I think you could easily fit an 11 in there

[JSanders]

I'm impressed. I **** doing body work.

[Stolzy]

this is on a path to greatness. im excited to wee where it goes

[Flavourless]

Thanks guys. there are some more goodies coming in for the car as well next week. I wanted to put the custom shaved ap1 bumper on it, but customer didn't wanna pony up for it so they stuck with the ap2 bumper which still looks good.

[BreakMyWallet]

looks great. you guys look like you do nice work

[Royal_T]

Lookn good, I def agree with you on the spacers..needs them big time.

[SeanDub]

In for the finished product

[BoostedE21]

Wow, thats a great looking car, good job!

[Flavourless]

Hopefully start priming the car tomorrow and get it blocked out in the next day or so. Paint soon :)

[SeanDub]

Staying yellow?

[Flavourless]

yes but not oem..forgot my camera today will have new pics tomorrow all primed

[schroedin]

yes but not oem..forgot my camera today will have new pics tomorrow all primed

Not OEM you say? :shifty

[Oxer]

this is on a path to greatness. im excited to wee where it goes

Im not going to piss myself, But am deffinately keen to see the end result! looks awesome so far!

s2 Honda

[Flavourless]

Not OEM you say? :shifty


yes not spa yellow. the factory yellow is hidious on s2k's. Now if it was py then it would probably stay factory color. This color will be a custom mixed yellow that no one else will have.

on a side not...just got a brand new factory lip for the car so the car has been updated to have ap2 headlights, front bumper, factory lip and ap2 taillights. front wheels should be back together wed and possibly some paint laid down too. Owner has a set of 25mm spacers and I am going to have him pick up another set as well.

[Tuck&Poke]

this has so much potential if he doesnt skimp on the wheels and sizing

[lespaulman16]

can't wait to see this thing finished!

[Flavourless]

We have color! Pictures when I get home ;)

[lespaulman16]

score!

[Flavourless]

Wheels will look good. Racing heart c2 3 piece...I have a feeling they will be temparary. They are 18x8 and 18x9.5 rears with 225/40 with 25mm spacers all around...eventually car will prob get 18x9/10.5 or somewhere around there to compltely fill out the arches

assembly comes tomorrow :)

[Oxer]

Awesome! :D Cant wait to see it assembled and finished!

[EMU]

i know its ur car...but why yellow again?!

[slocar]

Orange would have been so hot.

[Flavourless]

Its actually a customers car, not mine. The customer didn't want to pull the motor and completley gut the car to do a full color change correctly. We won't just do an exterior color change as its not the correct way to do it and the car has our name on it for life. We(JMI) have worked hard to get where we are at today and we don't do anything half assed. The car is his daily driver and yellow was ok for him. We wanted to do a brighter color but after playing with many different colors it just didn't look right with how orange the underhood color. We ended up going with Phoenix Yellow from the type r and it looks amazing.

[Flavourless]

Personally I think the car would have looked horrible orange but then again I **** orange cars and I think the only car that can pull off orange is gt3rs

[Royal_T]

Lookn good man, I say put some 11" in the rear and you will have money

[Zic]

Any updates? love this project, looks good!

[Flavourless]

my camera died but haven't been able to get any good pictures of it painted and assembled because of the car being sanded down ready to be buffed and the weather hasn't been the greatest either haha...next week will get good pics with the wheels on too ;)

[southpaw]

i flucking love AP1s. I cant wait to see the final result.

[Jay Z.]

Nice progress, looks sick!

[Digitalwave]

Man that looks fantastic. I can't wait to see the finished product with the spacers added.

then we had to take spacers out until the car gets aligned as the 25mm wouldn't work right now

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb19/shaeffer_ryan/JMI/IMG_2045.jpg

i know the car needs spacers bad, once its aligned and the customer gets some miles on it i can play with spacers and get it dialed.

p.s. here are some preview pics of the next project to come

[schroedin]

Next project FTW.

[AccordKnight]

Dam ur next project looks sick, hey sry to be off topic but is a good way to measure how much of a spacer you could use? Thanks

[Flavourless]

Next project will be all sorts of win :devil

Its hard to say with out seing a picture but u could measure from your sidewall to the inside lip of your fender or quarter. Depends on so many variables. How low are u? Are u tucking tire? If so how much? Do u have wheel gap? Are u planning on lowering your car more? are going to roll the fenders? u going to be stretching a tire? If so how much? How much negative camber are you or are you going to be running. All of these effect what size spacer u can run. There is no definative answer as u can tell.

For my bmw I measured what the maximum amount of room I had and then came in like 8mm less so I had enough clearance to turn (as I am tucking tire) and then the rear I measured max and did 5mm less cause I don't have to worry about turning.

[AccordKnight]

Thanks man, once I get my new wheels and have them on I'll try and get some pics and more specs so I can give you some info. Guess I'll just have to do some testing probly. Dont know if you can tell us but what are the plans for the rsx?

[Flavourless]

Can't say quite yet as the details haven't full been nailed down.

[Oxer]

Finish one badass car, and now this? I dont know what to say?

[WhiteStripes]

Looks sick man. Really needs to get that missing centercap replaced though.

[SeanDub]

Man, you guys do really good work, thanks for posting the builds here!

[Flavourless]

Thanks sean! I figure why just post the finished project when I can tak a few extra min and take some pictures and let everyone follow along. Its cooler to see it from start to finish imho.

The center cap has be put on I just couldn't find it and forgot to swap the other one over for the pics lol

[Flavourless]

I am really excited for the rsx. Hopefully we can nail down the details on that car soon and get started in the next few weeks...we have a couple airplanes to finish up first and hopefully finish the audi and veilside rx7 projects first then on to the rsx.

[BreakMyWallet]

very nice!

[CAPiTA]

looks dope Ryan!

[psiglx]

looks great ryan
