Damn, I guess it time switch speedo from AP2 to AP1, sneaky 1k more than limited. xddd

My friend saw my AP2 S2000, he said he could swap my AP2 S2000 for his AP1 S2000 for free, his was bone-stock like mine but better condition, plus bonus is AP1 have recent engine rebuild done bottom to top. Not sure that good deal. My AP2 need some loves.

Dr_Zoom

I do not accepted my friend trade deal, so I kept AP2 for myself. I order new wheels they will arrive tomorrow, I paid 1,880 V$. While, my friend have Amuse Radiator lying around his garage, they box and unopen and he want given me for free because he not fan of modding. I paid 300 V$ for service plus extra fluids (They are Honda genius part and some aftermarket).

She have serviced and refreshed fluid:

Fuel filter replaced.
HKS air filter panel.
Oil filter replaced.
Spark plugs replaced.
Oil, Coolant, Transmission, and Brake fluid are refresh.
Cabin filter replaced.
After all them listed shown was done, she has improved idle and driving smoothness and sound much better plus the brake felt more sharper. I think that sorted! I know we got metal lay around, I thought I could make teeth look and attach on my front bumper...

Service - 300 V$
Wheels - 1,880 V$
Total - 12,970 V$

I saw it.

Added 38 minutes later:

My dashboard plus vent system, wiring, etc are stripped out, so I can I re-location fuse box, modified wiring that better fit for new engine. I saw Mackey selling 2JZ and I'm emailed to him, hopeful it good engine. I need research different between SR20DE and 2JZ-GTE, I believed redline is different.

After dashboard work is completed, I being painting and making them look like brand new, I'm quite impression wheel colour that I chosen it, it gold!!! It look pops with red paintwork and near-perfect matched my steering wheel.

Next, I'm going to suspension works, also brake system. My sub-frame on rear have corrosion, they are savable, I could restore sub-frame back like new but stronger than came from factory.

They look good with the red.

Yea, most people using sliver or white is common but I never seen any red car with gold rim anywhere...
Finding gold colour on R/G/B mixture is pain in arse, I end of RED 166, GREEN 117, and BLUE 25, that look like gold paint. 😃
