 Oh, man. If only I was smart enough to just write a damn letter to Tamiya, I'd have one in a couple of weeks...Pretty nice kit, though, for a curbside... I'll finish mine... eventually  What color's yours going to be? BTW, I lost the windshield some time after I cut off the side windows. (They're molded as one piece) Apparently that makes the windshield angry and it runs away. Be careful if you do this. |

Colour is a tuff one, as it looks great in quite a few. I am quite keen New Formula Red or Monte Carlo Blue Pearl, but they would both have a black interior! It would be a shame to miss out on the red! So I may go for Silverstone Metallic and Red seats! I quite fancy an S2000 after the Prelude, so I may ring my dealer and book a test drive. That will really get me in the mood to do the kit!!! Maybe I'll model the car I end up driving!! THAT would be cool! |

I was going to suggest making one to fit, but having looked at the kit, it is a major part huh! Only way to get round it is buy another kit???  |

Hey Guiddy, are you going to make those little black thingies that go in front of the headlights on the european model? What are those things, anyway? Washers?
And slightly off-topic; I was on the UK Honda site... why do they quote speeds in mph? I thought you guys were all metric and stuff.  |

No, I won't be adding them to mine! They look crap and will probably be a pain in the ass! It goes against me new 'get it done a bit quicker' philosophy too! We use MPH still because France use KPH, and we do the opposite to whatever France do! |

Updates on this kit.
Suspension was completed tonight, just some weathering to add to the exhaust. All was Ok here, just a bit fidly getting the shocks to line up when the subframes were added. Nice tight tolerances, though allowing for just enough paint! Try to keep the paint thin on all chassis parts. |

Top view.
Suspension rides quite high, though all is as it should be! Note the wheels have been sprayed, the Tamiya chrome finish proving too bright for my liking! S2000s don't come with chromed or polished wheels, so mine won't either! BMW Artic silver was used for the wheels. The body is waiting for a coat of laquer now before black lining and light fitting, followed by another 2 coats of laquer. |
