Are you running spacers on that? Looks like the wheels are closer to the arch edges than mine.
I like the car overall but man, why did you replace the OE lip with the CR style one? The OE one just looks so much nicer.

Is it even legal as looks like he's lost his headlight washes in swapping the front end?
Would take two hours to change the wheels and seats so you can change them when you buy it

Didn't notice the lack of washers. Not technically legal but I like the look.

seats are gone funny enough, I didn't fit in them but to be real with you, with me turning it into a proper "full time" toy and wanting to spend more time on track it made sense to :
upgrade wheels to wider with a bigger choice of semi slicks, hence the drop to 17s and 245 all around.
upgrade seats to buckets - found in bedford that I spent too much time pushing my knee against the transmission tunnel to keep my self in the seat which takes away from driving
the wing is 50/50, can I tell the difference at high speed stability wise? absolutely. But I could get away without it.
no spacers but wheels are aggresive, the pre time attack look it was on 18s, 18x7.5 et47 with a 215 tyre and 18x8.5 et47 with a 245 tyre.
current is 17x8.5 et51 with a 245/40 semi slicks all around.
couple reasons, the OEM lip was a replica and didn't fit quite right, couldn't find a genuine oem replacement anywhere so settled for a CR style bumper - this is a single piece bumper with grill, lip etc integrated and headlight washers removed. Re the legality, it's a grey area. The issue is with an MOT and it would be an issue if they were present and didn't work but since they're not there, there's nothing to test essentially and it goes through ok, plus they look awful!

ha! exactly
all in, I've been thinking about ditching the wing and going back to OEM lip with a carbon splitter under it. Problem is my bumper had a hit before me and had a rubbish "spot" repair so needs a respray, the lip is a replica installed by previous owner and doesn't quite fit right around the edges, found a new oem lip but it's £700 for a bit of plastic! insane.

Even though its a legal requirement on Grudas's car, if you remove the headlight washers then its only an MOT advisory and still a pass. Would have to be down to an "anal" policeman to pull him up for that (along with the lack of front plate
)

I don't drive without a plate lol! I recently designed some mounts with magnets that slide in and lock the plate in place, can then be removed at shows/track/meets etc. But on road it's always on, I'm not rich enough to pay £100 every time a local policeman is bored
All I remember about s2000s and headlight washers was every time I cleaned the car I'd knock the bloody switch with my knee and ruin the bonnet
that too.. I had my fuse for the headlight washers out a long time ago.

Before it looked like every other S2000, cool, shiny, bit boring, now it looks cool and purposeful.
Noooo, what are you getting old or something? First you remove the decals, now this. Whats next, going back to stock wheels, suspension, and brakes?

Wanted a cheap track car so picked this up on Friday and did an evening at Donington on Monday.

The old bus just passed its M.O.T today. Turned 20 on the 8th and not far off 200k. There is something satsifying about keeping an old turd going. I even got a compliment from an elderly couple outside Lidl last month!
