First a little history I've owned the car since December '05, and since then it has been constantly evolving into what it is now. Here is a quick picture time line of the car since I have owned it.

I will update this thread as new parts arrive and are installed. Thanks for looking!

So now that you know what I'm starting off with this year, I'll show you what I have planned for this year.

First off, I have been a huge fan of the low lifestyle for a long time, even before my S2000, with my old '88 Honda Prelude Si 4WS.



So, after finally talking myself into selling my LE37T's I have decided to go flush. After doing much research, scouring many different sources, finding out what will "fit" and what won't, I've come up with my new wheels.

I am in the process of buying a set of the brand new TE37SL's in a non-staggered 18x10 et+40, and will be running 255 35 18's all around.






They should fit like this:



To go along with the wheels I will also be changing my lugs out for a set of S2Carbonworks Titanium lugs from GoTuning Unlimited.



Since I will be running a fair bit of camber to make these work, I picked up a set of T1R front and rear anti-bumpsteer kits. In the rear the toe arms will let me adjust my toe into spec so that I don't rape my tires.




While I am doing the additional bodywork to accomodate the new shoes, I will be shaving my side mirrors (selling the CraftSquares) in favor of a new set of MRacing Type I carbon fiber mirrors. This moves the mounting location off of the door and up onto the A-pillar.



That's it for now, but I'll update it as I get into it. Let me know what you think so far!

[98z24ragtop]

Wow! I love it as is, even though it's not flush. I can't wait to see those new TEs on there, that will be outrageous! Keep it up!

[S2tripleO]

Thanks homies, yeah those are the brand new Super Lap version of the TE37's. In the size I got, they are supposed to be 400g's lighter than normal TE's! I just picked up a couple more parts last night, got a set of Hawk HPS pads, Challenge SS Lines, and ATE super blue fluid.
