And hirofkd: No, it's not expensive compared to the work it would have taken me to build myself, I agree. But in my world, where I barely make rent between buying books for class, eating, buying racing parts for my real car, and flying up to Boston to see my recently moved girlfriend, money is scarce for models (though, looking at my models, it doesn't seem it...) I've only recently gotten to the point where I can sink $75 or so into a model without batting an eye, and this S2000 has about $100 in it already. That, too me, is expensive, no matter how much of a deal I got on parts. Parts = deal = still expensive.
Here are a few more progress pics. The body still wears some rough Milliput around the SAS parts, and I've since opened the intake a little more and smoothed it out.
