Default A Christmas Eve Drive - (Alpine White + Voltex Content) Update 1/11

Update 3/20: New Pic page 3 - Wheels and Brakes have been upgraded

Hey guys,

So after I sold my 2nd 350z I ended up getting an Evo X and then a short (7 days) stint with a G37S. But the Evo was a lot more power than I need (412 awhp) and the G37S was too refined for my liking as a sports car. So, I went to look for my 3rd S2000 (previous 2 were daily drivers). In any case, I eventually found my unicorn (white) S2k. Had her in the shop for a little makeover and now she's back!

I went for a morning drive on Christmas Eve and had my camera with me so I figured why not - but I'll have a different properly planned shoot coming soon. I just wanted to drive her after being in the shop for 2 months. I live in Santa Monica so I cruised up to Zuma Beach in Malibu for some pics.

85k Miles - not bad for an 04 - it's in pretty much mint condition.

As for the mod list, it's below. I'm keeping her all motor and working on dialing in the suspension more for street / weekend warrior / canyon duties. This car isn't going to be fast like my 9 MR or my X - I got all my power fix on the Evos. With the S I just want it to be the best handling / looking car I can have while cruising Malibu canyons.

All authentic parts (of course!) including the Hardtop

Exterior
Voltex Street Front Bumper
Voltex Race Sideskirts
Voltex Rear Diffuser
Voltex Type 7 GT Wing (275mm stands)
Mugen Hardtop (No. 0578)
Downforce +30mm Front Fenders
Ferrari F458 Side Markers
Craftsquare Carbon Fiber GT Mirrors

Performance / Suspension
Advan RS Wheels (PC to Volk Gloss Black)
Bridgestone RE970AS Pole Position
CR Suspension / Swift Spec R Springs
Cusco / Gold Wrapped Intake
Custom Coast F1 Exhaust
Berk HFC

Interior
Clazzio Red/Black Leather Seat Wraps
Moddiction 425g Anvil 2 Shift ****
Alpine x305s
Eclipse Speakers

Thanks bro. Yeah the wing isn't for everyone but it's functional and I think it adds to the aggressiveness of the kit.

Haha thanks bro! Yeah I didn't want to get a replica. The fitment on the authentic piece is flawless.

I dig your s2k Alvin! hard top ftw. you always have cleanly built cars.

I cross shopped one when I first picked up my Z way back when .. wife nixxed the idea due to the size (wtf?! why did I listen anyways?). nowadays I'd need a little more grunt to enjoy one, but it's a good platform to boost..
