Ciao everyone, here it's Marchettino and the S2000 is back on the channel with new upgrades!
The S2K Project keeps going, here we are in a new episode
new episode means new upgrades, as you can see I'm not in the usual workshop that works on my car
I'm gonna explain you shortly and today we're about to make an upgrade many of you asked since the first day you saw the car..
..maybe you have understood what we're talking about!
I hear your feedbacks and along side the many ideas, you told me to repaint or replace the logo,
I've ordered a new one and in the next episode you'll see more upgrades I did with your feedbacks.
As you see it's a rainy day, winter is behind the corner and today we're gonna change the tires but for the occasion
you may see my new winter tires and underneath the new wheels.
What do you think, do we lift the cover?
Since the first day you saw the S2000, many of you have criticized the MAK wheels because basically
they were terrible and ruined also.
Not to mention this one that is squadred.
I know you can't wait to see 'em but let's have a look at my new tires. Rear ones are 245 Pilot Alpin 4
whereas in the front we have 215 Alpin 4 tires.
and doing this project in collaboration of Ebay, I've used their new service concerning the purchase of the tires.
With this service, it's possible to buy directly on the advert the tires, their arrival and fitment straight in one of the +500 tire shops of the newtork.
This service in Italy ain't offered in any other marketplaces and it's easy to use,
once chosen the amount of tires, select the purchase of their fitment and with the ZIè code you find the tire shops of the area.
Once placed the order, you receive via email the contact of the tire shop to fix the appointment.
But that's not all! From the 22nd of October 'till the 3rd of November, with this code you have a 5% discount!
If you try this service, let me know what you think!
And after having explained the service introduced by Ebay, here's the new wheels!
What you see are original S2000 wheels,
these have been fit on the 2004-2005 series.
As you see, originally these weren't black as the previous owner repainted 'em from silver to black which ain't bad,
as you see they have some sidewalk scratches but it doesn't matter because later on I'm gonna repaint 'em
I don't know whether repaint 'em black or silver because I still don't know the wrap colour
so I want to make a good match with the car and the wheels.
Basically i've been looking at the wheels since the day I bought the car
and I didn't know whether to go for new or used ones, original or aftermarket
and I've been very lucky because with a little expense, 350€, I bought an original set of Honda wheels.. better than this!
What am I going to do with these? Honestly I don't know because that one is squared
I can fix 'em all but given the conditions these wheels are so unworthy I don't think it's worth it to repair them, thoughts?
And now that we have everything, let's start the change of tires and wheels!
I'm very satisfied about the result, let's have a look!
First impressions, I'm very happy of the change because all black, the S2000 has gone stealth mode!
Just the tinted windows are missing and then it's truly menacing, I have to say
with this current spec I like the wing, I wanted to get rid off it but if I had to keep the spec, the wing might stay!
They look good and with also the wheel cups with red logo
Also the brake calipers need to be repainted but we get back to what I said,
before to repaint wheels and brake calipers I need to find out the right wrap to match everything in the best possible way.
I like it, I like the current spec, stealth like the M3 even though it ain't black but a very dark blue, still with black wheels, what a duo!
Currently I'm satisfied about the look because I found an original set of wheels and I like 'em,
you have no idea how much time I've spent to look for a set of wheels, I found these wheels and I bought 'em immediately!
What do you think of this spec and also, what colour are we gonna make it?
Only 1 out 4 wheels is ok, the others are scratched but I don't care because they will be repainted,
the most important thing is that all wheels are fine.
And you know, with the potholes and the terrible roads, in Italy it's not easy to keep the wheels safe.
I'm also happy to have fitted winter tires because with the winter incoming, I can't wait for the snow to go to the mountain to do.. you know what!
Here we terminate this episode of the S2K Project, I can't wait to start filming and working on the next upgrades
we're gonna focus on the body so we'll repaint the bumpers, detailing and more works behind the corner.
As always, I thank Ebay for the support of the project
