bOoStEd042dr 05-23-2006 08:02 PM

wow..that's a beautiful car...so you sold the turbo vic? or trade

CASPER087 05-23-2006 08:45 PM

paint the car a grey to match the cf the red looks gay with a whole cf front. and i hope you have a warranty or money saved up when the tranny blows on you if you plan to race it. s2000 trannys suck and always break

blackBDMcivicLX 05-23-2006 08:56 PM

Looks good. I'm assuming your friend had it at the car show at the fairgrounds a month or so ago. If so here is a better pic of it.

yes sir thanks

CiViCPrAnInG2k1 05-23-2006 10:38 PM

the car is nice, but the it's CF overkill. half of the car has 3 tones of CF and half red paint. it's not flowing at all. change that ugly duckling to a hot bitch! :D

FALKEN 05-23-2006 10:44 PM

what a mess...it would look better in its stock form

ajhdragon 05-23-2006 11:15 PM

honestly i dont; think i would want to drive with taht much CF, atleats around here the clear coat would crack extremly fast

yourinmyw0rld 05-23-2006 11:41 PM

Looks nice just paint the CF

OCNja 05-23-2006 11:44 PM

pretty nice, but a little too much cf for me :)

ragingSPAM 05-24-2006 01:27 AM

i think its because the parts are cheaper in cf than oem after an accident so yea

*paging s2000man01 to the thread, s2000man01 to the thread please. thank you*

hotdogpilot 05-24-2006 03:09 AM

man, i love s2ks, esp in red. cf front end is definitely unique.

diskreet 05-24-2006 04:44 AM

The only thing I have ever head of S2000 trannies is that they shift PERFECTLY.

Its the rear differiential that is know to break, but thats only if you launch it all the time, and race it all the time.

Slawek 05-24-2006 08:15 AM

Why does half the car look like a car, and the other half look like shit?

familycar 05-24-2006 10:59 AM

you guys are the biggest ball busters. this guy is stoked on his new car and all you can do is tear it down. i like it. i don think it looks that bad at all. i think its a bummer that you just spent a bunch of money on a lot of mods and then traded the car in. you could have saved up tht cash and had money to invest into another car. now let me get this straight as well. you bought it through the dealer and paid $8500 total or $8500 after your trade in. if it was after then you got jacked if it was before then good deal. and how much did you get for your car??

diskreet 05-24-2006 11:03 AM

He purchased it from his friend, who works at the dealership, THROUGH the dealership.
And $8500 after a trade in is not bad at all!

CenZ 05-24-2006 11:11 AM

congrats on a great car. i love the car, one of the best cars i ever drove. but the cf is killing it. paint the cf red. or the rest of the car black.

dp_yz713 05-24-2006 11:17 AM

at least paint the fenders and bumper. bumper looks purple.

car looks sweet thouggh

he has an easy $9k car with about $10k in mods total and then he paid an additional $8500. that is not a good deal if you ask me. i would have tried to sell the car for more privately so i wouldnt have lost so much on the parts he had invested. they probably would give him the same amount for the car boosted or not. so he could have easily sold all the turbo parts for around $3-4k seperated and saved that much more. if this is the case. so paying $27k for a car that should sell for much less isnt a good deal if you ask me. i know you cant get the same for a car after its been modded but same goes for the s2k i would have gone mostly back to stock to sell and get a better trade in value and still sell everything to make more money back.

you sir, are a complete idiot

diskreet 05-24-2006 01:28 PM

Putting 10K in mods does not mean the car is worth 10k more. It means the car is either worth a few thousand more, or maybe even less.
And the S2000 is woth a good amount of money. CF bodywork is nearly indestructable, although mods shouldnt add to the final cost of the car.

Maybe I am wrong. :shrug:

2k1civic01 05-24-2006 02:01 PM

aw man thats too much CF...LOL when I had my s2k i had cf hardtop, hood and trunk and i thought that was alot...hahaha

prototype 05-24-2006 03:18 PM

dud it looks liek shit....im sorry the front looks pink bc whoever did the cf overlay was too lazy to spray the bumper black and the red is showing thru, the cf fenders are overkill. the hood is nice.....the car would look better if the fenders and bumer were painted....im sorry that bumper kilss it for me

clrumivier4life 05-24-2006 03:58 PM

Paint the bumper and fenders red and leave the hood as carbon fiber.

Eeeeeeh 05-24-2006 04:06 PM

Too much CF.... Great car none the less :tup:
