Vacation
This past weekend I had the luxury of taking a short 3 day cruise to the Bahamas with the family.. After returning we met up with some family in Coral Springs, Florida.. I then get a message from Sheldon saying he lives 10 minutes away.. This lead to us meeting up and me snapping a few photos of his nicely put together AP1… Enjoy!

Follow Your Heart
“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” - Steve Jobs

Vyets S2000 from Felix A. Lim and Simon Nguyen
Went Pro. Video
Having seen all the hype surrounding the Go-Pro HD Hero I bit the bullet and picked up a motorsports kit, naturally. Unfortunately, in 2 days this gismo has already managed to fail. O well, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Go-Pro’s warranty program. Winning…

also note the exhaust tone. I recently picked up the Fujitsubo RM01A dual and mated it to a Megan test pipe preceded by the J’s racing header. bawseeeee
Ferio’cious: Track Civic Sedan
Having previously owned a Civic sedan when I was in high school , that was, as you could already imagine, stolen, this street/ track Civic (JDM sland- Ferio) evokes strong nostalgic emotions :sigh:.

Something about this Evo 9 going into this trailer resonated with me. Perhaps it’s the excessive amounts of snow everywhere. Yeah, that must be it.

Got Make It Right Baby, S2000
The select choice of aftermarket aero parts comes together beautifully on this “mint berry crunch” Ap2 S2000. More than often the Spoon hardtop appears out of place but the clearly this is not one of those particular occasions. “SHABLAGOO!!”

I’m Saying…
I saw it coming. After recognizing drifters utilizing different front and rear wheels as drift spares and such it only seemed like a matter of time before this trend was going to be adopted amongst the show and street tuners as a style. That being so check out what might be the best show or street? (undefined) S2000 to date, arguably of course.

See that TE37s in the rear, CE28s in the front.
and in the spirit of the holiday season
I Need Another!!!
I’m back on my S2000 phase again. And looking all over S2ki, I can’t help but to go into the classifides section and look for a new one..

Do Right
We tend to roll our eyes at the Tuesday night meets because of the amount of nonsense that usually goes down but being that the Summer is nearing completion we made exception to the expected antics this evening. Being an ambassador of our community I made sure to grab the Canon for your viewing pleasure.

“Function is the fashion”
“Function is the fashion”
That was a quote from the Pursuit of Function. A film that I posted up sometime last week. The point that one of the interviewees was trying to make was that no matter how you build your car, if you built it to perform well on the track, with the quality parts that were made to be used on the track, then that function is the fashion.
Nobody can rag on you if your car performs the way you built it. This S2000 is NOT hellaflush, it is NOT stanced, and it is NOT on bags. Whether or not this car is tracked, this car is IN fashion because it can perform.

Blowin’ It
After a weekend full of Rota Grids I’m making an effort this week to share strictly authentic builds . No, I do not have a problem with Rota Wheels. It’s just exhausting seeing the same style wheel over and over again on different cars.
This TSX would come off as a hopeless performer given the autotradic transmission and the 3200 lbs curb weight but it is quickly remedied by a few diet supplements(CFRP) and a performance enhancer (supercharger). Touching upon the owners wild side, he* adds a little spice to the lightweight CE28s by powder coating the mags purply-pink which is accented by blue lugs. It’s an interesting color palette to say the least but the amount of genuine parts would compete with the most fiendish JDM hoarder.

Heads Up
Just a reminder about the Weekly Westbury Home Depot Meet this evening.

Gauging by the amount S2000s I post, one can conclude that I’m fanatical about Honda’s RWD convertible. A particular example I was most animated about was one of the Special Agency blogger’s silverstone AP1. Yet with time and or other responsibilities, the conservative masterpiece was sold to a new owner, who has kept the car relatively unchanged, fortunately (Although the car went AWOL from the digital realm in the hands of its successor…) Recently, the OG owner introduced his second attempt at the S2000 in the shade of red at the East Coast Honda Meet. Returning to the scene in the finest of fashions, he properly fitted the car with a set of Enkei NT03′s. Returning right where he left off, I for one am satisfied with his current arrangement. “When One Window Closes, Another One Opens.”

Some Light* Spooning
French and I were both impressed to have finally seen someone take pictures of their Spoon fogs actually LIT UP !!. And the pictures came out amazing. AP_One’s car displays both style and function, which is basically what you get when you invest in J’s Racing and Spoon parts. The Ontario backdrops and landscapes never cease to amaze me as well. I approve my friend.

The Chronicles: PG+K
If you are following Joe over at The Chronicles then you’ve probably seen these pictures before but for those aren’t here they are.
Brief: Premium Garage Krew made their way across the country again for the annual Eibach Meet (This time shipping the cars). Making waves last time, they’ve evidently become friendly with the humorous Joe@The Chronicles, which is good for us because the car looks epic. I eagerly await his coverage of the meet because he adds an unusual, entertaining twist via his commentary (and all the of the food he eats looks amazing).

My Spoon is Too Ill
I’ve recently heard people claiming the death of some automotive trends which included the death of murdered out. If that is the case this JDM’d S2000 must have died and went to heaven. Recently adorned with a Mugen hardtop, the blacked out S2000 looks like it means business. For those of you in doubt of this S2000′s credibility the owner frequently tracks the vehicle yet increasing track costs have become an issue.

J’s Racing Wide Body
J’s Racing known for their all motor s2000 touge beast released a wide body kit in 2009, but it wasn’t well received stateside until recently. Maybe the fire dragon vinyl on their press vehicle at the Tokyo Auto Salon was the culprit haha? Since the debut J’s racing released some photo’s of the wide body kit in a cleaner application.
