The Shopping List

Current state of Mayham


I am not generally fond of large wheels or super low cars, however Jackie's car has always had my attention. He is always had an interesting set of wheels from size, color or both on his car at the same time. I have been fond of his aero setup with the ASM front to the Spoon Diffuser and J's Racing Wing. One thing not to be overlooked is the Mugen license plate bolts located on top of the Craft Square side mirrors which is a very nice touch, I may have to steel that idea from you. I thought it was pretty cool that the Cusco cage happened to match the wheels quite well when he had the TE-37's that looked pretty cool, and while Im on the interior let me fill you in on the coveted Spoon kevlar bucket seats and Personnel suede red stitched steering wheel, someday I can only dream of such. I have always been very fond of the Spoon seats but, have never been able to source a set of these comfy and rare seats (Maybe my wife will get these for her car. I hope you are reading this!) Under the hood lies a J's Racing intake, that happens to be my favorite intake with the chamber and the large scoop in the front bumper. I also found that he has the T1R 4 piston brake calipers on the front of his car, I happen to be running the T1R 6 pots (I believe the only set made?) they are identical to the Endless and shortly afterwords the 4 pots were released, I would like to get some info on this setup being Im sure its similar to the AP 4 pot kit that happens to be superb brakes. (I like T1R products.) One thing about this car is that it wasn't built over night and it constantly has evolved, to a better setup it seems more love is put into a car built over time that changes. Also keep in mind the car is not shy from the track either I have seen him post about damage caused from this as well. The latest change would be the Advan RG's this is cool that this wheel, that has kind of slipped from popularity has found its way back on to this S2000. I like when the "old" cool stuff finds its way back to current setups. It goes without saying I think a Mugen hardtop needs to find its way there too, Ive seen pictures of this car with an OEM top but I think the Mugen would do it more Justice. This is just another car I have followed for a long time and has been one of my favorites.

Here is a Video to enjoy as well very cool!
