What's up Canibeat? Figured I'd post up some details for my winter/spring 2011 build. Been acquiring parts for a couple months now, things are beginning to pile up, and as soon as I can get the car out of storage it will be going under the knife.

First a little history I've owned the car since December '05, and since then it has been constantly evolving into what it is now. Here is a quick picture time line of the car since I have owned it.

I will update this thread as new parts arrive and are installed. Thanks for looking!

So now that you know what I'm starting off with this year, I'll show you what I have planned for this year.

First off, I have been a huge fan of the low lifestyle for a long time, even before my S2000, with my old '88 Honda Prelude Si 4WS.



So, after finally talking myself into selling my LE37T's I have decided to go flush. After doing much research, scouring many different sources, finding out what will "fit" and what won't, I've come up with my new wheels.

I am in the process of buying a set of the brand new TE37SL's in a non-staggered 18x10 et+40, and will be running 255 35 18's all around.






They should fit like this:



To go along with the wheels I will also be changing my lugs out for a set of S2Carbonworks Titanium lugs from GoTuning Unlimited.



Since I will be running a fair bit of camber to make these work, I picked up a set of T1R front and rear anti-bumpsteer kits. In the rear the toe arms will let me adjust my toe into spec so that I don't rape my tires.




While I am doing the additional bodywork to accomodate the new shoes, I will be shaving my side mirrors (selling the CraftSquares) in favor of a new set of MRacing Type I carbon fiber mirrors. This moves the mounting location off of the door and up onto the A-pillar.



Since the stoppers is really one area I've never modded on the car, I picked a set of Hawk HPS pads, Challenge SS Lines, and ATE super blue fluid and some Powerslot slotted rotors.





Picked up Infinity mids and tweets to replace my shitty stock door speakers.



Also picked up some red and black AP2 door panels and an Infinity component set. The door panels have built in tweeter pods for my Infinity tweets so I don't have to butcher the AP1 ones installing them.




That's it for parts for now, hope to start getting some of this installed this weekend, I'll post update pics as I get the parts installed.

Thanks for looking,
Tyler

[S2tripleO]

Thank for the love guys.

A little update, picked up a new wheel last night to compliment the rest of my interior.

350mm Personal Neo Grinta in leather with red stitching.







Any suggestions on a hub/quick release combo?

Oh, and some more stickers for the collection

[xxxKezSC3xxx]

OMG i hope s2k's are around when i want to buy one.....lol have the cash. good work the new feet are gonna look sick

[matt638]

sick ride man!

[S2tripleO]

More stickers lulz









I think I've narrowed it down to 3 maybe 4 stickers to be used on the actual car. The rest will just be in my collection.

[jsu1012]

can't wait for pics with the new wheels.

[S2tripleO]

Me either man, you have no idea.

I threw this together in photoshop quickly to see how the stickers will look together. I think this is close to what I'll end up running. I just can't decide between the purple/pink Canibeat or the Tokyo Splash one.



What do you guys think?

[Mustb18]

I like the sticker set up. Also thats a hella collection of stickers.

Also let me know what hub you get for the car i have been trying to figure out which one i need to run with the s2k for my Nardi wheel

[S2tripleO]

Haha yeah, been collecting for a while, still looking for a few hard to find ones though.

I will man, I'm thinking it's either going to be the Works Bell short hub with their RapFixII quick release or the Mugen steering boss with a FET quick release.

I'll update the thread when I decide which one I want.
