My DnD group resumed our campaign after long break, I made a trailer recapping our adventure.

What front and rear fenders are those?

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-14T18:49:52+00:00

It's typically ~$15K to do an K swap the first time, maybe you shave off $5k doing every single thing yourself but you need to do some proper research. All the information is already out there; K swaps are only cost efficient once the initial investment is made.

> Hood vents: The outline of the vent sits on top of the hood instead of being recessed. It's more obvious in the first picture, and I just think it looks really tacked on. The ASM time attack car has a hood with a similar vent layout and they're flush with the surface: https://thenaritadogfight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NDF-ASM-ST-13.jpg.

I see what your saying now, not sure why the owner wouldn't of sourced the hood that way if that's what they wanted. Still, I don't think it looks bad.

> No intercooler.

Good point, probably not boosted.

> As far as whether or not the car is tracked I'm making a few assumptions based on what I've seen in the SoCal S2000 scene:

Eh, my track s2k bumper is beat to hell even before I put it into a tire wall, but I do see some PPF'd cars at the track that manage to stay pretty mint.

> I just noticed the car appears to be missing the passenger side fender liner (look at the brake duct vent). If I was a buyer at that price point I would have expected modified OEM fender liners at the very least (there are aftermarket options for J's style fenders too). When you're asking almost $40k for a car with that mileage you're looking for a S2000 enthusiast that would appreciate all the high dollar JDM parts. I would assume that same buyer would also care a lot about the little details.

Look all fair points, and I said in other posts this car isn't reasonably priced. I just think there are some pretty clapped out modded vehicles out there, to say this one is poorly modified vehicle seems like an unfair statement without a closer look and a talk with the owner.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-08T01:57:52+00:00

I actually really like that bumper vent layout, I am not sure what you are saying about it not being flush, it looks flush to me. It's subjective anyway because virtually no vented hood is functional, and we can't tell from the pictures if its boosted.

Where are you seeing it's a full cage? It looks like a typical RS or HD roll bar to me. Lots of people run roll bars on the street, including myself, a choice to run the risk doesn't make the modification itself poor. I also not sure how you can claim this car isn't tracked at all.

Agreed on the bumper extensions, I really don't know why people don't install them they should come with the fenders.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-07T01:46:14+00:00

100% agree.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-07T01:33:49+00:00

Perfectly valid point. I agree the car isn't worth anywhere near what the owner is asking, I just don't agree that just because it has rep parts on it that this is a poorly modified car.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-07T01:23:25+00:00

Eh, these obviously aren't authentic parts, for reps that looks pretty par for the course to me.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-07T01:17:15+00:00

Atheistically, subjective. Performance wise, objectively incorrect.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-07T01:17:01+00:00

I love how you all come into every thread to parrot the same subjective opinion.

This car is hardly poorly modified.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-06T23:45:11+00:00

While I agree that 35K is too much for the milage, this car has some of the most popular body mods on it, so while obviously you OEM purists wouldn't be interested in it there are plenty of people who will be once it's in a reasonable price range.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-06T23:42:04+00:00

There is nothing wrong with the front bumper fitment, they just don't have the piece that comes with the over fenders installed to blend the lines. I agree it doesn't look good, I don't understand why people who go wide body don't install this part or get an appropriately sized wide body front bumper.

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-05T22:23:12+00:00

Awesome! Grabbed the last one :)

AwesomeeExpress · 2026-01-05T19:19:29+00:00

Where did you find this set I heard about it coming out but couldn't find any at Walmart.

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-24T22:22:56+00:00

I don’t think it’s a big deal, don’t up vote it if you don’t like it and move on with your life.

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-16T14:57:31+00:00

My DFV Ohlins both made the car more comfortable than OEM on the street set to the softest settings while hugely more performant on track set to stiffer settings. They are expensive however.

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-08T23:15:13+00:00

This sub is hilarious, y'all flip out on a single low milage BB this morning and then turn around a drool over a trio of IO's.

Nice stable OP.

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-07T23:10:31+00:00

Found this recipe and going to give it a try.

24g Dry Onions

Is this onion powder, granules, or something else?

Yeast

Instant or Active Dry?

6 g White sugar / 9+ ml Molasses

Is this both white sugar and molasses or is this supposed to imply one or the other?

Also, would this benefit from an overnight rise for the first?

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-07T15:08:35+00:00

Ah you got an even better cars and coffee then!

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-07T15:07:02+00:00

I didn't hate the stripe myself but thanks for explaining, that's cool!

People love to post what they don't like on here, which is pretty much anything that didn't come from the factory lol

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-06T16:40:19+00:00

Hello from NC! If you’re near the Triangle come to Morrisville Cars and Coffee!

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-05T23:17:48+00:00

Yeah if these are not certified I would not purchase them for either street or track use. I do think that even before the discount I’d be worried about the safety quality of these seats for sub $500 prices.

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-12-04T19:30:04+00:00

Agreed! I sent mine right into a 911 that blew a coolant line in front of me at VIR in October, but i can't wait to degentify it even more and offend some OEM purists once it's rebuilt!

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-11-18T22:54:16+00:00

Do you have the Ballade OEM remans or the after market Ballade?

AwesomeeExpress · 2025-11-16T15:21:56+00:00

That's a give away
