Perhaps you'd like this Honda VFR800 powered 1959 Berkeley

You could buy a "new" S2000 Type R from Evasive.

@NSXavier posted a great video showing the entire process in great detail, but was forced by his employer to remove it. Maybe you can PM him to get it. Here is the master mechanic at work.

They were called NSX & S2000.

They prefer to use their glowing descriptions as opposed to actual specs because many of them are not that different from stock, or their competitors. @Savagegeese said FL5 and DE5 use the same springs, but who knows, they could be mistaken. Many of the aftermarket spring packages use slightly...

@Zygrene said it was 4.5K / 4.5K at 0:31 into his Ohlins shock review video, but I don't know where he got that info. Best I could find was this on FK8 OEM springs: OEM: Spring Rate Front: - 4.7 kgf/mm Spring Rate Rear: - 4.2 kgf/mm

Thanks for your report - I'm glad to hear everything went well. Is your load cover raised up at the front or the back? Initially mine was at the back until I put a 1.5" spacer (scrap of 2x2) under the tire at the front (see last photo in Post #1). That made the plane of the wheel and tire...

When you start torqueing down lug nuts the holes will get smaller, so you will need to open them back up or they will collapse around the studs and the wheel will be stuck on the hub (this almost happened to me). So proceed with torqueing the nuts slowly and progressively and remove and inspect...

Here's a video: and another with more info:

How about asking @NSXavier

Don't forget installation cost unless you DIY. Zygrene also didn't mention that with the Ohlins kit you can adjust your ride height any time you want. But because of that, you may want to corner balance your car after setting that. I bought my Ohlins from SakeBomb Garage because they gave me...

Yes, interesting video. It appears that the CTR is just way overdamped. The comparison is slightly muddied because there are three differences between the two cars tested - Spring Rates, Shocks & Tires. Increasing the spring rates from 4.5K/4.5K to 6K/10K is a huge change, especially in F/R...

Don't do that with this steel wheel - You will smash the hell out of the lug nut seats and distort the wheel. 94 ft-lbs is fine for aluminum wheels because the lug nut is compressing solid aluminum against the wheel hub behind it. The photo below is of the back of the recommended steel wheel...

I'm ashamed to admit right now it's just being squeezed down by the tire which is held down by the Mounting Screw. I'll probably just use some double-stick foam tape.

OK, now I remember about the silicone sealant to seal the holes in the floor of the spare tire well - sorry. Yes, I think the one you referenced should work fine. I used some I had left over from a roofing job - the exact formulation is not that critical. If you are ultra worried about water...

You're welcome! 1. I drilled first from the outward facing side, but also from the other side as well to ensure that I had a clean hole all the way through (the step in the drill isn't very deep). In the end it really doesn't matter. 2. In Post #47 I said: " I've flip-flopped on my preference...

These hub centric rings are very nicely machined and fit great. It friction fit into the center of the spare tire's wheel, so it can stay there and not get lost when stored away. It has just enough clearance to fit easily over the hub of the car but still accurately locate the wheel. With the...

I watched these two videos: & in addition to reading the accessories installation guides. It was fairly straightforward. I jacked the front of the car up so I could support the bottom of the bumper on a 5 gallon bucket while removing the button fasteners along the hood line. It's helpful to...

I did something similar, but just the lower portion with this grill material and used these black epoxy-coated stainless steel tie wraps to secure it Here's what it looks like from the inside so yes, I had to remove the bumper. It's not too bad if you have a helper.

Yes, 9/16" (0.562" or 14.3 mm). 19/32" (0.594") would be OK too, but the step drill's next size up (for the one @Nickp15 bought) is 5/8" (0.625") which I think is a little too big. A few more tips: 1. Put some masking tape (or marker pen) on the next step above 9/16" on the step drill so you...
