my project Honda S-2000
 

I am starting a s-2000 body mod. it looks ok for now except for the fact that i keep breaking the front. i have not painted it yet and it has neons!!:D they dont show up in the pics, but they ar somewhat bright. with the alum. foil it does not sine through the body at all. with the alum. foil it is a press fit, but without it fits on with velcro. i am going to paint this and my Flamig Skiline at the same time.(hope to be this weekend:p ) well, here is the first pic...

more...

the tape on the ouside front is there so i dont totaly ruin the car. couple more...

that is not a laser pointer by the way it is a led setup that my freind made for me it changes to a lot of different colors. more...

last one. tell me what you think...

when ur done that is definetly gonna look sick. hope to see it painted soon. is the foil supposed to be there to act as windows??? pretty creative :D , but i dont think it will look that good in the end.

no the foil is there to reflect the light from the LEDs to the ground. i am going to put windos in it.

Hey, good idea using the aluminum foil to reflect the light for some "underglow" What color is the underglow gonna be? And, just my opinion, is it too safe to be putting the foil all around the car like that? i mean, couldn't it interfere w/ the reception or hurt some electronics, or allow them to overheat by keeping the hot air in and not letting in any cool air? Just my "2 cents", i would leave it on the body, but not on the actual car.

That looks really cool. Where did you get the body? It sorta looks like you may need to shorten the body alittle bit.

yes it is about 1/4 inch longer than it should be. i have taken the foil off the car but left it on the body, just to be safe. i read the idea of puting reflective tape on the body for neons, but i thought alum. foil was just a good, so this is not my idea. i have absolutly no idea where i got the body. it is a model body i got from my lhs and i will look into it more soon. the underglow can be almost any color, like i said the LED setup has many color combinations. it has three leds, a red, a blue, and a green. i can have any combo of these for the underglow. i can even have it constantly change colors!!:D btw, how do i shorten the body? can i just move the wheel well forward?(i know haw to do that.)

Good idea takin the foil off the car. That LED thing is TIGHT, you need to find where we can get one. And this mod should look pretty tight, keep us posted!

looks pretty good
cant wait to see it when its done:)

looking good there! are you gonna keep the top removable like in the real s2000?

yes i am. i am going to paint the windows black. i can just take the top off. it wont have any thing but the chassie under it though. you can probley get an LED thing like that for around $20 min. my friend made it for me so he just charged me $10 for the parts. he said they were selling them for $50 at rs. i dont know if you can buy them there though, but i know you can buy the parts. the chip in it has to be programed and he knows how to do that. i dont though, sorry. i will ask him tommarow and tell you guys. it would be nice if i had two because one is not as powerfull as i thought. it is just because it is on the top of the car and not on the sides. it would be possible to make a tube that has reflective material inside it and have the "guide" the light down the sides. i will try to do this. ill tell you how it turnes out.

Im srry no offence but i dont think its gonna end up good. what color r u gonnaa paint it? i hope everything works out ok. i hope to see it when its done. very creative tho.

they sell those lights near my house for $3.00 im gettin them 2morrow after school to try this out.

Well, this is just the primary stages and i will probley paint it silver. lets see if i can prove you wrong(more likes lets hope:D)

they really sell those lights for $3!!:eek:
do they have the three LEDs??
i bet not but if they do and they change color like mine good find.

Silver that should make it look pretty good, nice color to choose. Honestly i really do want u to prove me wrong because it was a good idea. so good luck on everything again. :D

where did u get the s 2000 cover. my uncle wants a s2000 xmod but they dont have one . he has a s2000

i hope so too!!

like i said i got in a model kit and i am converting it over to my xmod. i think it was a tamiya. Ahhhhh...here it is... http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/pla...ies/24245.html the exact one i have. except i dont know where those rims went?

can someone tell me how much faster the stage 10 motor is. and if its worth the money u pay for it?

Alot tougher (and more expensive) to convert the model over than to just use the AutoScale body. But I'm sure it will look good either way. For color, I like the yellow that the S2000 comes in. It's kind of a pearl yellow. Or you could always put on a hardtop and go for the Spoon paint scheme. That'd be unique... :)

this is just a body that i had and the wheel wells happened to be close, so i decied to try it.

where did u buy it tho? i dont see any option to buy directly from Tamiya

Hey man that looks great, cant wait to see the finished product

Although if i might add, the rear wheels seem a lil too much tucked into the fender well. Maybe its just me. but otherwise it looks pretty good

thanks. i bought it through my lhs.(called Hobby Time) is there a way to easly lenghthen the chassie? or do i have to chnage the body. i have the chassie at the stock setting.

if your chassis is off the skyline, its out as far as the XMOD chassis can go. sorry.

Is that body on the Tamiya model diecast? Or am I just seeing things.

Ermm, Viper are you feeling alright? That model looks more plastic than Brittney Spears. LOL correct me if im wrong. Nice job on the body BTW.

the removable hardtop is cool...

LOL! Actually I wasn't feeling too good. I had a cold.:(

intencestyle, damn is that an xmod, i can't believe how tight that is, and where or how didi get that spaoiler

That is fantastic! I love it!

Re: mods2k
 

DAMN! If that's an XMod, I'm Snoop Dogg!


EDIT: is that really a hardtop or is it a convertable with a roof off of a different model? (kick-ass S2K, by the way!)

looking very nice:)
could you take more pictures so we can see?

what up snoop?

lets see a pic of ur S2K with the top off. and the body next to it O_o.. sup snoopy dizzle fo shizzle?

even if it's a model...DAMN! it's nice as helll, where'chu get that???

yeah thats my question/!\
!

ok i have woeked on mine some more. i went kinda ricy. it is not done by far.:p i still have to sand more and paint.but i think it looks good for a costom job. dont mind the paint it is just there, not the finnal color(havent decied yet)...
