Looked nice in the first pic's. What are all them holes for is it turbo'd? Does it have a frontmount intercooler?

No front mount im afraid the holes are purely just for aesthetics.

UPDATE - Fitted a set of eibach sportline lowering springs and D2 adjustable camber arms the other day, the springs lower 30mm, the car does now drive better and looks a whole lot more aggressive now only down side is the DC sport cat back does catch on some speed bumps and the steering rack isn't liking sitting at the new angel but im fitting the steering rack replacement bracket tomorrow and replacing the track rod ends as there was a little play in them before anyway.
The camber arms are only set to stock at the moment until the car gets it geo set up properly.
I'll get some new shots of the ride height up here tomorrow.

Looks good how have you stuck the number plate on? What size is the plate

Just used normal number plate screws and white caps and screwed it straight to the bumper, no bracket.
The plate is 12" long and 6" high, i think that's the standard U.S. plate size but I just went for that because I thought it was a good fit.

O ok cool. Ye looks good that size

Hi Yates,

I had a good hoon with you earlier in my S2000 on the A10. Loved the noise of your civic as you dropped it down a gear coming off the A10. It really screamed. My s2000 is pretty much standard at the moment and it will probably stay that way. I did look into getting a EP3 and supercharging it for the same price as i paid for the S2000 but fancy the change of a rear wheel drive car.

Had an integra type r previous to getting the S2000. Will give you a flash if i see you about again. I live down the road in cheshunt.

Hi mark that was awesome fun [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Looks like a nice s2000 you got there, thought about one myself but think I want to keep the civic and go down the supercharged route once funds allow me.

How did you find going from the integra to the s2000?

Excellent I'll keep a look out for you, im only in hoddesdon.

Integra type r to S2000 is a tough one. You can feel the extra weight of the S2000 compared to the tincan that was the integra.

I loved my integra and had it for 4 years but it was starting to show its age, especially as it was a 96 spec import. Mechanicals were always maintained regardless of cost but the body was getting tatty.

I had my heart set on a civic type r for ages but my bro had this s2000 up for sale at his work and after driving it i had to have it. I may well sell it in the future and pick up a cheap type r and get a JRSC on it. 300bhp in a civic would be pretty insane!

My S2000 is 06 plate so it has the more predictable rear suspension and its a lovely car to drive at speed. You really have to be driving like a prat to upset the balance of it. Currently ive got a KN intake on it and a invidia decat pipe. Makes a lovely noise at full chat!.

It was nice bumping into you the other day, its not often you get two petrol heads driving fast but not stupidly dangerous! I always get the boy racers who drive on the wrongside of the road to prove their fiesta is better than an S2000.

Will keep an eye out for you!
