A pretty interesting s2000 build:

After watching GT5 guru Kazunori Yamauchi talk about his incredible S2000 - built by Opera Performance....

That is mad cool. Looks like it took a long time to do that.

Also that car was really cool in GT4

well seeing as how it's a honda i'm gonna have to say it has to be the stickers. it's a well known fact that each one is capable of increasing hp by 20whp. well that and it was made about 200lbs heaver, idk i'm just guessing about the weight in added material for structural reenforcement.



ok i'm outta here.

ok so i was wrong about the weight. actually that was a bait. i figured you'd take it, i'm more interested in the connection between your screen name and the origin of those pics (bumnah.com).

i thought maybe you were in some way involved with the build. between your name and the fact that you're one of the honda supporters here i thought there was a connection.

hahaha. i wish!

the build was done in japan by Yasukichi Yamamoto the owner of Opera Performance. My friend James (who's site you go to when you click the link I provided) did the write up about it. He asked me to host the pictures for him. I'm just the space provider. I've had the pictures for years and have drooled over them. This car represents pretty much what I believe a car should be. I'm a huge fan.

Living vicariously through my friend James I'm gifted with high resolution pictures of some great car builds.

More to come.
