# Macaron_Moon : AC in winter wtf? Anyways, congrats on the S2000 bro

Yeahhh I tried it out and my skin started to feel numb after a while, probably not a good idea. Thanks btw!

# Niatross : inb4 i challeng the S2000 with my Supra sometime later and get gapped by miles
because JESSE DONT DO IT HE'S GOT OVER A HUNDRED GRAND UNDER THE HOOD

Jokes aside, LOVELY purchase my man! Was about time you got yourself one of Hondas Pinnacles, that too one in such good condition!
Can't wait to see it all dialed in the AJ-STYLE

Finna get gapped in stock form, but not if I go F O R C E D . I N D U C T I O N . HMMMMMMMM

Thanks you mah dud! If I hadn't jumped on the purchase I would probably have regretted it in the future haha

# BigSmoke : Well in case AJ wants to be E X T R A C H I L L ~ :))

Man I really dig that S2K,lovely stuff!
What are your plans with it? Considering the S2K is tail-happy even in stock form, I could predict this'll become either a track car or a drfit car :D

Also, gutted to see Strawberry going out from action for a while :(
And uh, just want to point out that the way you do the stickers on it reminds me of Nob Taniguchi's personal S15, which is a nice thing:

Thank you! It'll probably be a street car I'll be tracking because I have the Strawberry to thrash at drift events

OHHHH NOB's S15 is my inspo <3 Will probably get a Vertex Lang Kit down the line

# Lagano : I was wondering who had shown up with that S2000 when we met with our drift cars at the docks! Nice new ride, wasn't cheap (as most of S2000's) but this one looks like new! Keep it clean yo. Also i hope you will get the S15 running again soon! :)

YAP Rifky and I pulled a S N E A K Y on you haha. Hoping to keep this car as clean as possible! And yeah I wanna get it running already!

# Sleepin mOnkey : thats a clean s2k congrats man

Thanks man

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE


Borrowed my friend's Work Emotion XT7s that he had on his S13 and threw them on the daily FC1, not bad at all but I might change back to the TC3s.





As soon as I got off work I went straight to WestKyo because I got a call saying MY PARTS HAVE ARRIVED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA





Another productive week YEET. Got the VTC Sprocket and the respective parts that come with it installed. Apart from that, I threw in the 8 new Rocker Arms in place of the ones I YEETED, got the Tomei Rocker Arm Stoppers in to prevent breaking those damn rocker arms, and Tomei .256 and 11.50mm PonCams.



Then I threw the valve cover back on



Finished!





Initial Impressions: Idle is raspier than usual, but nothing over the top wild. No more VTC tick, and revs smoothly. Steering feels more tactile then when it had the WiseFab.



I decided to a little shakedown of the car at my nearby touge.

HERE WE GO, ATTACK!




Let's G O !



Angle is perfect, and the knuckles provide more road feedback over all. PERFECT FOR THE STREETS. <3

SLIDE TIME




Not as much lock as the previous setup but YAP ish GEWD.



Power is MUCH smoother. The engine feels lighter and angrier thanks to the refreshed valvetrain and camtrain. LOVE IT.



YEAP, HUGE improvement.





And yeah, I was out one afternoon for gym and when I came back, a friendly young fella approached me, an avid Honda lover. I told him about the car, its mods and its histroy, and long story short he offered me 1,300,000 yen (V$13,000). Still not sure if I'm ready to sell it but anything can happen. What do you guys think?

Finances:
V$60,474.91 + V$3,500 (Law Services Payment Received) + V$940 (Weekly Paycheck x1) = V$64,914,91
