Well.......it's been a long time lol. Didn't move away from my Civic. Things have most certainly progressed.

Car now sits at 650bhp and I have an amazing s2k as my daily. I will update this in much more detail as soon as I can.

Here is a pic of the cars as they stand

The fastback hardtop totally transforms the car

The S2000 is a pretty car in standard form IMO but the coupe look takes it to another level

Can't stop looking at it

Supposed to be outside washing cars but sat here drinking coffee & admiring your S2K instead :lol:

That hard top is lush. I had a oem Honda one on mine (only ever had it off once). Much preferred the look of the car with it on. That top is the stuff of dreams. Wet dreams.

650bhp civic on a track!

... Think I'd be scared just to floor it in a straight line!

Amazing cars pal!

Civic is cool but that S2K!!!

RY4N · Nov 18, 2019

Thanks lads. Putting them both away for the winter now so I'll be updating with the past few years worth of work on those cold winter nights

Just had a flick through your thread, that gravel pic is cool, although the circumstances for the shot suck

That S2000........:smt055

I was having a browse of S2000s and decided to look into that roof of yours.

Jeezless they're not cheap are they :lol:

What manufacturer did you go with, how is it for wind noise and general weather ingress?.... And can you get in the boot? I imagine your spoiler stops it opening to allow boot access?

It's a genuine Spoon product. Bought it new from Spoon Europe (Taikyu)

The rear section of the hardtop separates from the main part. Quick release from inside the car. Lift that off and pop the boot as normal
Spoiler is attached to the boot so it lifts with it.

It is a pain in backside tbh. I tend not to go in the boot all that often haha

Wind noise is pretty low. The bodyshop I use put extra foam and seals where they thought it was going to let noise/water in so it's pretty tight.
With a high pressure hose water comes in at the top front of the windows though
