I've cut the vent holes in them now,pics tomorrow once the Tiger Seal fixing the mesh down has gone off. A row of round holes didn't look right,so went for Marks suggestion of one big cut out and mesh behind it

20 years has come to an end. I have built her, looked after her, polished and preened her, lavished her with presents including tyres, engine upgrades, many holidays in Wales, the Isle of Man and Scotland. Babe has driven off into the sunset with Kevin. Yes, the end of an era and I did shed a tear. But now I have a V8. Whoopee. Let the fun begin again.

Cracking run out today, sunshine and shower and getting stuck behind four horse's and trap's for about two mile Jeff

Dave, your build is serving as my bible for now lol. I was actually put onto you by an ex owner who knows you. I cant wait to see your S2000 in the flesh as it were.

You don't often see a 2CV outrunning MGB's. And it's orange. Respect, well done.

If you can hang on until Stoneleigh there should be a few available from the various stalls.

Cheers Mark! Mate that car is absolute joy to drive. Amazing amount of grip, and I'm still trying to find those limits.

Pembrey is a proper challenge and definitely not one to miss. Organisation has been a struggle a few times over the years due to oversubscription, but it would seem that the entry system has been improved this year and there are a few more people involved.

Just a word of caution, if the stud on inner panel is too far rearward it will catch the seat if the seat is slid forward. Usually resulting in a torn side to the seat vinyl. The builder of mine did just that, have subsequently moved the stud on inner panel forward and had new seats! (Had to plug the redundant hole in the door too!) Andy

Very modest Dave, your build, attention to detail and advice inspire and help us all, thanks

Not too bad then.

Great morning run out with 5 Westfield’s, 1 Caterham and a 4WD Dax Rush with a Cosworth Turbo engine! Great car. Great to meet @Jimmerog @Chrishubbs And @b16gnr With more Westfield’s still to come it looks like a great summer of blatting ahead.

Welcome @Si.Dalziel, I followed Dave's excellent build thread whilst building mine. He builds to a top standard too! We'll look forward to seeing you at one of our local meets. We had 3 x S2000 at the last meet, though this pic was taken before the 3rd one arrived (we suspect @lloydox was busy driving through fields prior to arriving, given the state of his car). We nearly had 4 on the night too. @westyjord87 let the side down and, rocked up in a tin top instead!

I wish I knew myself. The ease of a duratec is appealing but then so is the noise and power of the v6. If I fitted a duratec I think I may regret not doing the v6. I'm not sure if after fitting the v6 I'd regret not using a duratec tho.....

No it's ok Dave. The duplicates of pics are of things that are still available. I was just getting enquiries about parts that were sold but the pic was still up so just wanted to clear any confusion.

I don’t think random lines of holes ever do; it looks like the sort of in the pits quick fix you’d possibly make on a track car to get back out into the race. So fine on a race car, or race replica. On a road/track day car, I think your way is much better.

Hi there and welcome from sunny Scotland there is a lot of great information on here, first and foremost decide on what you want to use the car for as this will influence some of your choices upon ordering it can be frustrating at times but it’s a great journey, good luck

I’ve had worse days at the office.

For a very long time (before politicians were invented) Britain was ruled by Kings and Queens. Centuries ago Britain's sailors found other countries with common people and took their wealth. These countries became known as The Commonwealth. Once politicians had been invented they needed somewhere to meet and debate issues affecting common people. That place was called Commons House. Commons House had 650 MPs (Multiple Personalities) and almost all had no qualifications, except the ability to stand and talk for hours. Many MPs had a variety of jobs such as Journalist, Company Director, Lawyer as well as Politician, and concentrated on none. To ruin a wealthy country like Britain would not be an easy job. The job of ruining Britain was always given to someone called Prime Minister (PM). PM is backwards MP. The PM was so backward they could only do one job (ruining the country) unlike multiple job MPs. Throats could become very dry with all the talking MPs had to do, so Commons House had 9 subsidised bars. Sometimes squiffy MPs would pass unusual laws, like making it illegal to set off nuclear explosions in Britain. This allowed people to sleep soundly in their beds, knowing that if they were vapourised then someone would have to explain to a man wearing a wig; as long as he had not been vapourised too. UK Main Political Parties--- CONSERVATORY---Party for people who had large houses with glass extensions at the rear. LABOUR---Party for people who are labourers. NEW LABOUR---Party for workers in a greater range of jobs. LIBERAL UN-DEMOCRATS---Party for those who reject democracy because they know what's best. 45 years ago Britain joined 6 countries already in EU (European Union) which was a club to trade goods. Over many years EU expanded to absorb many other countries even if they were destitute and had no roads. The ultimate aim was to get New Zealand to join and EU to encircle the world. N.Z. had been discovered and named by the Dutch who were keen to get it back. MAJOR POLITICAL FIGURES.... 1st Female PM---MARGATE THATCHER (CONSERVATORY) ---MARGATE was so caring she wanted to protect workers from dirty, dangerous jobs like coal mining and steelworks so closed these down. Because she could only sleep for 4 hours a night, tiredness meant she forgot to make new jobs. While some were happy to stay home penniless and play ZX81 games others were unhappy. 1st NEW LABOUR PM---Y NOT B LIAR ---Y NOT was a lawyer and that is someone who can have different meanings for words. Y NOT said Tie-Rack's leader, (MADASS INSANE) could launch big weapons called WMD at Britain in 45 minutes. WMD meant anything from a nuclear bomb to a box of matches. As America had lots of bombs reaching their best before date an alliance attacked Tie-Rack. No WMD were found and the Dictator was otherthrown. 1st PM possibly of African descent---DAVID of CAMEROON (CONSERVATORY)--DAVID became PM when Britain voted that he could eat a bacon sandwich much daintier than his rival. Aware of EU plan to control NZ, DC had an EU NEVERENDUM to Remain or Leave and warned if Leave then likely next thing would be War 3. Majority voted Leave so DC resigned as could not risk starting a war. DC was voted Britain's third worst PM, pushing Brown Gordon down to fourth. BG complained about unfair voting system. Then TIM FARGONE (LIBERAL UN-DEMOCRAT) wanted another EU NEVERENDUM (ad infinitum) just to be sure the result was correct. 2ND Female PM---MOTHER THERESA (CONSERVATORY)---She was so saintly the worst thing she ever did was run thru a wheat field when very young. MOTHER told EU that Britain would leave on 29 March 2019. As we're about half way thru leaving I guess that puts us about mid English Channel, desperately trying to avoid drowning. Politics never ends but the story stops here (FTTB).

Not required for a fat knacker like me. I could have them daft old car wings at 200 mph and the only lift I would have is flatulence..............
