Parted it out and the body is cut up into pieces in my back garden waiting to go to the scraper...

Lame



Why not buy a better example of an S2000 than spend all of this time and money fixing a clunker?

Why cut up a good car? When you can cut up a beater for cheaper?

Props to him for saving a s2000 from a rough life.

I have no idea why quoting my talon being cut up leads to getting a better S2k... but like Hedtrip said, I planned on cutting it up from the start so why spend lots of money on an expensive car when you can save a little and spend lots of money on a cheap car and still have the same outcome.

thankyou.

Nice build. Why not go with overfenders in the rear? I agree with you about the S2K being underpowered stock. It's a great track car, but on the street a little boring. I ended up making just under 4xx whp with mine and it was pretty fun.

`

onto widening the front fenders.... again was going to make them out of carbon fiber but time constraints forced me to do something quicker so metal it was.
I started by cutting about 1/4" to 1/2" from the OEM radius so i could keep that perfect flow from horizontal to vertical flanges, aligned it to where i wanted it (approx .75" from edge of tyre to edge of fender and tacked some positioning pieces in.

Then came the cardboard cutout template

then once i was happy, steel.

once both sides were done I removed them and cleaned the undersides up.

then sprayed some primer and rubberized undercoat on them.

layed a thin layer of bondo over it so i could smooth out the transition.

then some Goodies turned up, a 2x2 carbon fiber hardtop.

Liking this build so far. Perfect template to go extreme like you are.

Decent savings in the weight department as well.

That is a lot of custom work, can't wait to see it finished.

What?

Your DSM was nice, you just called it fully built with a stock transmission, blew it up, and then trashed a decent shell. Minus the shitty rolled fenders you had some moron do for you. Then you asked ridiculous prices for it and its parts.

Then you buy a POS S2k when you could have bought a non POS and saved yourself time and money.

Stop pretending that you know what you are doing.

Sounds like someone is butt hurt for no reason...

 

[bsholt21]

Nice work! Keep up the butt hurting.

Nice, Impressed with the Fab work. We need more of these kind of threads.

I never said that the car was fully built... i said the engine was fully built, which it was since i had 8k in the longblock alone.

The DSM was a nice car........ to me, nobody else thought that it was worth as much as it was to me therefore parted it out and scrapped it.

Parts/shell were on forums and CL for about 10 months Cheap!.... you could have bought some if you wanted.

 

[Jankenshank]

I widened the front bumper to match the fenders using foam board and fiberglass...

decided to give plastidip a go on my wheels

by this time i had only 5 days before I needed to be in Wisconsin, so i threw some rear flares on it and bondo'd the dent in the door.

gave it a sand down with 600 grit sandpaper

and me and a friend who dabbles in Vinyl graphics wrapped the car in Arlon Performance plus gloss white wrap
