headlight bar and headlights




i have also bolted the headlight bar to the top chassis rail with 6mm riv-nuts and long m6 bolts. i then bolted the new 4" headlights to the bar and positioned them roughly in the right direction!

rear view and wing mirrors




i have fitted a longacre racing rear veiw mirror to the roll cage and also some suzuki gsxr e-marked wing mirrors.
the lonacre mirror just bolted straight to the cage via its own mounting brackets but the wing mirrors needed tapping to the cage and bolting with m6 bolts.i also added some tigerseal between the mirror mounting brackets and the cage to stop the metals rubbing and adding some extra strength

remote oil filter fitment




as the original oil filter fouled the steering shaft, i had to buy a mocal remote filter kit, i made a bracket from 3mm alloy and bolted it to a pannel which was welded to the chassis. i fit the take off plate to the original filter outlet and connected the aeroquip hoses as per instructions. these are very good hoses and are a very tight fit. first you have to put the hose ends into boiling water to slightly slacken the hose ends. then quickly push the hose ends onto the outlets. once they cool down they seal very tight so i will be anxiously awaiting the results once the oil systam is pressurised!

i have also upgraded the oil lines to hel performance braided with adonised fittings

wiring diagrams for the s2000 engine
















the wiring was one of the next things i had to work on so i found these on the s2000 forums. my ecu will control ignition and fuelling so loads of the orignal harness can be stripped of all un necessaary wires. and believe me there is thousands to remove as the loom is extremely complex! a big thanks must go to MB from the honda forum for finding these for me.

lower harness mount fitting

i purchased some lower harness mounting plates and some eyebolts to fasten to the mounting plates which are welded to the chassis. i had to slightly trim the mounting plates to fit the mnr plates. once in place i had to drill holes through the mnr plates so the eye bolts could pass through and tighten up to the plates via there pre welded on bolts.these are a great solution for a strong lower harness mount!

another trial fit of bodywork section











i decided to make bonnet cut out for exhaust headers to fit under and also fit the carbonmods nose cone vent. i then placed them in position and they fit really well. am quite pleased with the way things are going so i thought i would share a few pics of how it looks at the moment!
