They each have their pros and cons. I thought maybe the R3 could replace my s2000, but they are still quite different and I'll keep the s2000 for sunny days, autocrosses and track days. I like the s2000 better on the track or autox, but I like the R3 better for everyday utility and 90% of the fun of the s2000.

thanks guys. the wheels are tenzo-r dc5. haha the tire shine is either the armor-all stuff in the orange bottle or if i only have a short amount of time, meguair's hot shine spray. im betting these pictures it was the armor-all.

Thanks guys, for the compliments. The R3 is well taken care of, don't worry. My s2000 has the standard mods: coilovers, exhaust, strut bar, Recaro seat, wheels and tires (2 sets of r-compounds and 1 set of street tires). But the R3 will stay stock....for now. I test drove a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Track and was making a list in my head of all the things I would want to modify, but with the R3 there's nothing I want to mod. The only thing I'll do is put some wider tires on there when the stock RE050s are done.

suspension your car would look perfect with tints, a light drop, and some modest spacers.

Nice ride

But I think the r3 is more deserving of the garage.

*fixed*

Excellent choice of mods. A small drop and spacers are about all I would do to the car. I've never tinted any of my cars so I'm not sure if I would do that.

And am I going to get banned now? The s2000 gets the garage. It's a California car, never seen snow or salt and is a soft top! It'll be on jack stands this winter: I'll be removing my Tein SRC coilovers and running them on the damper dyno at work and doing some maintenance (fluids, CV, wheel bearings, valve check) on the 7 year old track/autox car. The R3 gets constant coats of wax and winter wheels and tires for fun drifts in Michigan snow.

You should definitely get coilovers/springs next.

Fitment and paint looks good. Which coilovers or spings/shocks are you considering? Wheels?
