2001 Honda S2000 in silverstone colour, witg black/red interior. Brought in salvaged state, with blown motor due to Inline Pro turbo kit and the wrecklessness of a 17yr old high school punk whose parents throw money at him. Any way here is she now after 3 months of working on it after my regular job and school:

Looks good, glad to see it didn't get sent to the scrap yard!

Evo8kid · 10-27-2008, 06:06 PM

nice work! but why didnt you keep the turbo kit and have it tuned safely?

garrettej8 · 10-27-2008, 07:40 PM

how much did you pay for the car?

sillyeye · 10-27-2008, 08:11 PM

I guessing he payed about $5000

HKSdrift3r · 10-27-2008, 08:51 PM

The turbo kit was removed to pay for some of the repairs. It was missing the AEM EMS which I couldn't afford at the time, plus it turned out that the motor was shot. I bought another wrecked ap1 for the motor and trans, currently parting that out. Both cars were bought an Insurance Auctions, you need a dealers license for those.

If I break even on the parts car, which I will in time, my total cost for the car will be $6,500. About less than half of book value. Plus you cant put a price on working late nights at the shop, cursing and kicking when stuff doesnt go right. The project took some time due to school and a regular job, This was all done at night at a machine shop, not even an auto body or performance shop. I did all the work besides the actual spraying of the paint. I had a friend do that for me, but still, a grass roots type re build of an amazing car. The car is so awesome, Im loving every minute of it.
