Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm glad that you all enjoyed it. There's alot more work in the car than a 30 minute episode can convey. First off, the project was built in conjunction with PASMAG (Performance Auto & Sound Magazine). Tuner Transformation jumped on board the our Drift Project soon after we started it. I'm glad they were able to showoff what we're doing here at the mag to the SPEED viewers. The car is undergoing some work right now and you'll find it at the next big event. We plan to dive head-first into the drift scene with this car by taking it to some of the drift events this year. Let me know if you have any questions.

Check out www.versusmotorsport.com and look for the Chargespeed kit. The colour is based off the Suzuka Blue found on the S2000.

Too much money...I've spent close to $12k CDN (incl. the car) on this project and I'm not even close to being done. Alot of cash was put into the suspension (which wasn't really touched upon in the show). Basically I bought every suspension piece that Cusco makes for the S13 chassis for the project. I feel jipped about them not really talking about that part.

I had a good idea of what it would look like. I suggested the paint colour, but they wouldn't tell me if they were going to do it or not.

First of all, nice car, I really like what they done to it.

Question: where did they get the SR from, i.e. where did they buy it?

Thanks

Well, they didn't really do much other than install and paint the bodykit. I sourced everything myself and they just "played it off" like the did the whole project themselves. If you want to see how the car was REALLY built, it'll be featured in upcoming issues of Performance Auto & Sound Magazine.

Oh yeah...I sourced the front clip from LS Automotive in CA. Check their site at www.lsauto.com. Thanks.
