Random Hot Cars

Just some really nice cars we ran across on the Web

Random Hot Cars

I admit I spend a lot of time lurking on forums and blogs just looking for nice cars to look at.  It probably goes back to the days where I had to scour everywhere looking for potential feature cars for Modified Magazine.  So maybe it's habit, or maybe I just like looking at nice, modified cars.  So here's just a random collection of cars I ran across on the Web today - plenty more after the jump.  Feel free to leave a comment with a link to something you think should deserve the spotlight!

Honda S2000: Carbon Fiber Wrap

A new trend? Style? Fad? Fashion?

Honda S2000: Carbon Fiber Wrap

It seems the matte black craze is slowly subsiding, or perhaps it's just evolving.  Originally many opted to just wrap their cars in matte black vinyl, then some stepped up by painting their entire car that way.  There seems to be a new big player on the block however, as this S2000 owner opted to have parts of his car wrapped with carbon fiber vinyl.  Rumor on the street is that this track car will get a full treatment, but here's some work in progress photos.

Flush Honda S2000

Seems like Flush S2000 are the rage now, spotted this sweet green S2k on Alex Zhao's Flickr Photostream.  Alex was able to capture this s2000 sitting nice and flush on some Work Meister S1 Wheels.  More photos from the ride after the break.

Voltex S2000

Evasive Motorsports has released renderings of the upcoming kit from Voltex

Voltex S2000

Voltex has become one of the premiere JDM brands for body kit tuning and accessories.  Most popular amongst the Mitsubishi Evolution crowd, I would guess that Voltex will now become a popular brand with Honda S2000 owners.  Evasive Motorsports has recently posted up photos of the Voltex body kit renderings for the Honda S2000 and I must say that I'm a fan.  I'm always weary about body kit styling and how gaudy or "loud" they can be, but this one is very clean and true to Voltex form - functional.  Rear shot after the break.

A New Style? Fad? Hoax? Huh?

A curiously creative S2000 owner makes his own new hood

A New Style?  Fad?  Hoax?  Huh?

Well it's natural that we see wood grain interiors trim or carbon fiber interior trim... it's also natural to see carbon fiber hoods.  We've seen trunk interiors laid with wood-finish pieces - but this is something entirely new.  This creative S2000 owner made his own hood out of wood.  Will this catch on?  Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Sean Klingelhoefer: John Nguyen's S2000

Sean captures this beautiful S2000 brilliantly

Sean Klingelhoefer: John Nguyen's S2000

Our good friend, John Nguyen, has recently had his J's Racing S2000 featured in the July 2009 issue of Super Street Magazine.  John Nguyen's S2000 is one of the nicest built S2000s in the nation, sporting a full J's Racing widebody, Spoon Sports brake setups and an immaculate set of Volk Racing CE28Ns.  There's tons of go-fast goods under the hood to go with plenty of to-die-for JDM products.  But the most respectable thing with Nguyen's car is the fact that not only does he take him his healthy fair of trophies at shows across the nation, he's a die-hard automotive enthusiast that hits the track on a regular basis with this S2000.  Much respect to Nguyen, his car and his passion for the sport.  More photos by Sean Klingelhoefer after the break.

S2-Owned?

What a way to not start off the day

S2-Owned?

There's some people that have bad days, and some people that have really awful days.  Some lady left her tailgate open in her SUV and this is the result.  House paint decided that it no longer wanted to be inside the lady's SUV and ended up not only choosing the S2000 as a canvas for artwork, but littered the interior and the street.  I can't say I'd be too happy about this and sadly it is just pure entertainment for us Internet readers.

F20C Powered Mazda Miata

Honda-powered Mazda hits the dyno and puts out 291whp

F20C Powered Mazda Miata

Back in the early 90s, enthusiasts began swapping in different motors from Acuras to Hondas and other Honda chassis to other Honda chassis.  The term hybrid (not the hybrid we know today as the eco-friendly kind) was born and evolved into a culture.  Hybrid Hondas took the industry by storm, B-series into Civics and more recently, K-series into Civics.  There was always a dream of seeing a F20C RWD-powered Civic, but the reality for that still has not become commonplace.  I was browsing through S2Ki.com and ran across this Miata powered with a Honda S2000 powerplant.  But the owner didn't stop there, he equipped the F20C with a Vortech supercharger.  This dyno session on low boost put down 291whp - that has to be one extremely fun, high revv'ing Miata.  Few more pics after the jump.

2JZ Show Winnin' Drag Racin' S2000

This is by far one of the cleanest street cars we've seen on the drag strip

2JZ Show Winnin' Drag Racin' S2000

We've been involved in the industry for over 15 years now and through that time we've had the opportunity to watch Hondas completely evolve from Honda CRXs battling for 10s to Supra taillight conversions to JDM-themed vehicles to shaved bays and K-series swaps.  In all of our years and events we've attended, it's sad to say that someone like myself has become jaded and it takes an awful lot to impress me.  But this S2000 really does the job.  Its as clean as can be, widebody, beautiful pearl white paint and even its drag wheel and tire setup is aggressive to the point that its functional.  The engine bay sports a Toyota Supra 2JZ in there, getting rid of the traditional Honda power and the bay is shaved to an immaculate condition.  This is straight up a true HIN show car winner out there on the track launching as hard as imaginable is tearing up the track.  We're hoping to catch up with Charles Walker and get a more formal and thorough shoot of the car, but check out a few more shots of it after the jump.  It's currently campaigning in the NSCRA season.

Inline Pro Honda S2000 Wheel Stand

Now this you've got to see!

Inline Pro Honda S2000 Wheel Stand

InlinePRO has always been at the forefront of developing some of the fastest Hondas out there.  They've worked with the B-series, the K-series and the F-series extensively.  We spotted this video of their Honda S2000 doing a wheel stand - this has got to be one of the first for us to see.  Honda's popular and now discontinued roadster is popping it up on twos!

Honda S2000: Fitment is Everything

Aggressive offset or perfect fitment?

Honda S2000: Fitment is Everything

People have been pushing the envelope on wheel fitments ever since we can remember.  But in the more recent years, terms such as "offset is everything" and "hellaflush" has become more and more commonplace.  The importance of wheel fitment makes or breaks a car build and the more aggressive it is, the more well respected it is to many.  We first saw this S2000 at Hot Import Nights in Anaheim, but it looks like he changed up his wheel setup some more since then.  We ran across this shoot by FatKidPhoto and had to post it up.  We are loving this S2000 from the color to the wheel fitment to its aggressive stance.  More photos after the jump.
