Can't wait to see more Rick

The NSX is stunning Nice build

s4play · 04-01-2013, 12:17 AM

Happy Easter guys!

snapped this shot of the M3 ~ desperately needs a BBK and a few other items in my opinion before it's show worthy.

s4play · 04-05-2013, 01:04 AM

I made a custom shroud for the V1 main unit so it's hidden from view:

s4play · 04-19-2013, 01:09 AM

Nothing new for now but wanted to share a fun picture! (this little guy takes up most of my time)

Nice! Cute kiddo.

Looks great bro

mdosu · 04-25-2013, 10:47 AM

what's that thing attached to the rear headrest? Is that the V1 shroud?

Rear Headrest is where we mounted the custom bracket for my V1 stealth setup. Yes it has a shroud to cover the unit but with my tinted windows I have not really used it much.

Just added a front/rear 2-channel dash camera that automatically records when car is started. I am debating how I should have it hardwired but it's pretty cool giving me a view of both the front and rear of the car. I have the rear camera aimed at my child's Recaro seat so I can see what they are doing through my screen. The dash cam would be handy for track usage and has GPS coordinate plotting through Google maps. I plan to use it more for recording problems with road rage people but hopefully that won't be too often. Will add some pictures shortly

Alan292 · 06-03-2013, 08:51 PM

looking good! i remember you from the s2k boards and i believe we have a common acquaintance (shawn chen isf guy). with any luck i will be leaving the s2k behind and will be jumping in a white e90 as well

as always your nsx is my absolute favorite!

Don't leave the s2000, you will regret it! The e90 m3 is a nice car but certainly no substitute for the s2000 ~ you need both man trust me

Thank you, my NSX is undergoing a major transformation for the Wekfest show coming up

s4play · 06-18-2013, 09:54 AM

My wifey gave me a new gift for Father's Day (APR wing) but haven't had time to install it yet....

For the M3, we spent some time lowering the car roughly another 3/4" in preparation for the new full exhaust system.

Since my wife driver's the car sometimes, we added a in-car surveillance camera system which doubles as a track cam. Handy 2-4 channel recording with full audio anytime the car is in motion or at the touch of a button

Also looking at Audio upgrade options since this is the only car we own that has stock audio as of right now. Looking at Audison Bit.1 and some JL subwoofers plus Focal speakers.

Has anyone here integrated an iPad mini into the M3 seamlessly?

0-60Motorsports · 06-18-2013, 10:30 AM

Awesome purchase. Congrats.

mkPOTO · 06-18-2013, 01:04 PM

very nice, which exhaust will you be running?

Alen E90 · 06-19-2013, 03:01 AM

cant wait to see that APR wing installed!

Grail05 · 06-21-2013, 07:47 AM

S4play didnt you have a black s2k? havent been on S2Ki for a while but dang... your collections are pretty darn good... thought you sold your NSx a while back.. glad you didnt... still loving that car to this day.

cant wait for the m3... you always have some sick build.

The s2000 will always hold a special place in my garage. I've owned over 12 s2000's over the past 10 years and right now we have 3 in our garage. Red one belongs to my wife

These were my first two s2000's that started it all:

As for my new M3, I have a bunch of parts planned to get this car up to the level I want. This will not be a show car so nothing crazy as it's meant to transport my kids on weekends but I do want to change out a few things.

Look for some new pictures of the car and mods next week!

cnofar · 06-21-2013, 09:51 AM

Disgusting garage (in a good way). I'm a long time Honda fan. Had two S2000s and always wanted an NSX. I have an E46 M3 now and debate all the time to move up to an E90/E92 or try to find an NSX. Your garage makes my decision that much harder!

Jay-K · 06-21-2013, 11:59 AM

Great choice there! I've got a set of SSR type F wheels for your S2K bnib laying around if you should want some more wheels. Probably the last thing you need lol! Back on topic now..

Very nice cars, and well done!
