Hey all,

I am still alive…. Life has been busy, my daughter, new job in a new field, house stuff, etc…. adulting really takes a toll on you.  It’s funny when I tell my friends from highschool/college and mention I still have my s2k(partially) and I’m still into it, going to meets, writing blog posts, etc, they look at me like I’m a 30 year old going on 18.

I can’t shake this car thing, especially Honda S2000s, even though the scene is drastically different than when I first started.  Before I couldn’t fathom why the OG S2ks guys sold their cars and went on to different things, I would think why would you leave the greatest car god has ever created (JK not JK), but now as a fully grown man guy (I think), I finally understand, life changes and sometimes you don’t got time to drink boba and smoke cigarettes till 2am in the morning.  This younger crowd does make me think about the s2k as a platform….but I am in this for the long run…. we’ll see if this turns into 911 and the Ant.

Sorry for the long tangent…. I finally had time and approval from my boss, aka wife, to make it down to the Chronicles year 10 meet. In fact we just got off a cruise from Mexico that morning, I even made my wife, daughter, mother-in-law rush off the boat at 7am with all our luggage instead of having it delivered to the dock for us so I could make this meet. Which means our continuously screaming child was under her care for the day, while I bare the heat of beautiful Corona California…..  It was a hot one for sure, in fact every year is hot as fuck, so this year was no different.

Excuse the sensor dust… I tried my best to remove it.

Upon entering the meet, I had to say what’s up to Joe, lowkey one of the best builds out there.  He’s a super humble guy that doesn’t live for the gram like 75% of these owners nowadays.  His Mugen S2k CR is a thing of beauty and has been featured before.  I definitely look up to him, since he’s a great father and has this sick S2k, #lifegoals.

Next to Joe’s Mugen CR is Carlos’s ASM bumper S2000 CR, another S2k CR that has been “ruined” with Voltex rear over fenders and Mugen rims.

Sara Choi’s Voltex’ed S2000 CR.

EK with J’s Fenders

EG Civic with a rad Pocari Sweat livery, Osaka JDM wing, J’s racing fenders, and super jdm mismatching rims.

Jackie made it all the way from Vancouver Canada to make the meet. I’ve been following this build for years, before instagram when he just had a build thread on S2ki.  In fact I remember his car in this video back in the day. He had an 04 ASM bumper before.  Now he’s rocking a Voltex race front bumper, Voltex rear diffuser, spoon hood, craftsquare mirrors, and Voltex wing…. When he was rocking the ASM front bumper, the Voltex kit wasn’t even out yet, that’s how OG this guy is!

I love the Te37 wheels in this color.

Interior shot that shows the stack cluster.  I love the stack cluster, I actually prefer it over the S2k speedo.  Iconic Cusco blue rollcage and momo wheel with NSX-R horn button.

Another guy from Canada came down in this super clean styled Toyota Century.

I don’t even want to say VIP style, because this is the VIP.  When I think of VIP style, I think VIP cars are trying to make their car look and feel like this.

ITRs were plenty.

Sang ‘s  J’s Racing widebody turbo s2k looking good…. car for is for sale btw!

Gotuning tommy, representing Gotuning with his crazy ASM S2000 CR…. the 4th “ruined” S2000 CR at the meet.

For this event, Spoon USA brought out their Super Taikyu S2000 all the way from Japan.

Yep looks race car.

The Spoon Super Taikyu car rocking some Titan7 wheels with some 6 pot Spoon calipers.

Of course this isn’t s2kandtheant without talking about Areen’s S2k….. This is for sale too… My S2k friends’ s2ks are slowly disappearing.

Great deal if you buy it!

Since I am currently working on an EG civic, I was taking notes of all the EG civics there.

EG civic with Mugen lip, Mugen strut bar, and some green TE37.

What amazes me are these small details, like how clean this hood support is!

It is amazing how some of these cars were at wekfest in the bay area a bit prior to this event, and they all made it down to this meet.

Another shot of Jackie’s S2k.

This del sol was exceptionally done.  Mugen front bumper, Te37, K swap with Kinsler ITBs, and S2000 Spoon mirrors.

What impressed me the most are these recently discontinued crazy $$$ Mugen x Recaro MS-R seats.  You could buy many del sols for these price of these two seats.

Simple Amuse R1 front bumper S2000 with CE28n

Modest AP racing big brake kit on the s2k.

This Spoon civic that pops up at every big meet.  Pretty much everything from the Spoon catalogue except the mishimoto radiator.  I think I last saw it at Eibach in 2018.

My buddy Gabe with his Ap2 with an Ap1 front bumper.

Mugen MF10s up front and TE37 in the rear.

Joe popped his hood revealing the Mugen intake, super rare mugen spark plug cover, and ASM strut bar.

ITR with Mugen kit on some TE37.

This is by far my favorite EG Civic at the meet.  Super super clean JDM EG6 SIR.  Here you can see the super clean and rare EG6 Mugen exhaust.

This civic is perfect sitting on white Mugen MF8.

I love how pristine and stock the engine bay is. I love the OEM resonator and OEM airbox.  I find it funny how I’m coming full circle nowadays, where before I would want the most modded car, but now I want the most original car as these cars age.

Everything about this civic is perfect, sunroof visor, window visors, and yellow interior.

TSX wagon on Mugen MF10s with some more Mugen goodies.

Clean Ap1 rocking the Ap2 Mugen kit sitting on Mugen MF10.

Mugen kit goodness.

Clean r32 skyline in an interesting green color.

Pretty good turnout.

The Evasive booth had this Ap2 with the new Greddy Gen 2 turbo kit

Love the ASM tow hook peeking out of the Amuse R1 bumper.

shot of the Mugen ITR from earlier, The open hood reveals a K swap.

EG Tank Mike was present

Clean NA1 NSX with TE37.

Quad tipped Spoon exhaust.

Spoon prototype hardtop.  It’s amazing looking at the hardtop in detail, it is CNC’ed out of one piece of metal.

Super clean EF, I’ve been really interested in EFs lately… something about those boxy looks.

Under the hood of the Spoon Super Taikyu S2000….

Sang’s S2k again.

S2000 with wings out in full force.

Super clean ARC theme BB4 prelude.

Engine shot of the ARC theme’ed prelude.

Youtube famous LATOMMYLA TWM ITB EK civic.

shot of the TWM ITBs.

EK is on green TE37.

At the point I changed lenses that had a super scratched polarizer on it….. I didn’t realize this till later.  That’s why all the picture from here on out seem a bit hazy.

Jackie’s S2000 again showing his AP Racing pro 5000 calipers in detail.

Notched authentic Spoon hood for the turbo.

under the hood of Tommy’s car, showing off the ASM intake and Mugen Spark plug cover, and ASM dry CF hood.

Areen’s ASM hood…. looks familiar :p

Closing out this post with Phil Robles crazy Eg civic.  2019 just started, hopefully we’ll see my S2k get one step closer to a car again!
