Is that the car you're getting on what you hope it will look like

I wouldn't bother colour coding the front splitter, mine scrapes on everything and although it's plastic aparantly about £400 for a replacement

I just sprayed it up myself and it looked fine - then when it got scuffed (almost every week) I could just buff it back and spray it again

ScoobyJawa, was your car advertised on pistonheads around September last year? I saw one just like it around that time and nearly brought it, but it disappeared a couple of days before I got the money together?

Mark,

I bought a torque split controller from Skylab (check out a guy called R32 combat on the GT-R register). Cost £150 and gets rave reviews on the forum. Not had chance to test it yet as I am scared of stuffing it!

Cheers,

George

So it just permanantly shifts a bit more load to the fron wheels under normal driving? I think that might be a good thing - the one im having has a bit of a slippy back end!

Chris - hoping! I think that one is stock apart from the wheels and front lip?

Just been for a long dive in the S, sun is out, nice evening - what a car the S2000 is! Totally amazing car.
