Have driven one of my European friends S with ITBs fitted.......ballistic!! Savage throttle response, and a bit of added aural sensation too. As good as a Password intake with well adjusted throttle cable and an ETD can be over a stock set up, ITBs just blow the doors off.

I think one of the S2000 specialist tuning shops in the States has a DBW version available. Serious $$$ especially with import duties.

You can easily work around that or convert Tim. If going to that level there's a way. Also I'm sure Omex do a conversion aswell. Get it done!!!

@Tim Long no room for a turbo with that intake.

My s is off getting a full respray. Would love to turbo it later in year, not sure who do to it though.
Who's doing the respray man? What colour? Turbo would be insane 😮 but not something I could run with my current setup 😆 my tyres would blow off haha. Maybe if I change my setup in the future, you never know.

It’s a guy outside ballynahinch. I’m so boring I went with the existing red! Na I love the red on it, so thought why change it.
They look really well in red. Good choice! And as Sam has already said, won't devalue the car.

I seen this at AG’s a few months ago. It truly dumbfounded me. The boys were walking me round it explaining custom this & custom that.. the amount of thought, creativity & work gone into it is unbelievable. You never see cars in the scene with this much done to them and it was great to see a man going all out to create what he fully believed in.
It’s still incomprehensible, good effort!

Of course he did.

Although I should imagine it was an easy enough job for him given the paint is so new. You couldn't have put too many microscratches in it in that short space of time. :p


Thats a really unique looking S2000 you have made yourself, no chance of seeing something else like that on the road. :cool:

Yeah he just did a very minor correction detail.
Thank you. Finally all starting to come together just as I had imagined!
I have been even contemplating meaty tyres on the meisters and removing spacers but I'm still very much in two minds lol.

I also thought about a cheap and cheerful set of jr5 wheels in anodized bronze and throwing meaty tyres on.
It's mainly just for winter and mot so not sure meistersw even be best for that lol.

Looks immense - are you going to drive this? It actually looks to good for the roads now !!
Thanks man! It will certainly be driven, just not as a daily anymore but it hasn't been a daily for some time.
