One of the few shots of her with the roof on.

Just demonstrating to a pax there what happens if you do not correct in time, as opposed to the previous lap where I showed him how it should be done.

I guess it did not work out ?

I know a lot of work went into it but that is big ££££ for a Honda S1

It worked out great. I love the car, but actually grown a little bored with track driving the same track (1000's of laps). I need a change of scenery. I feel the need to explore. And if you knew me personally.. I'm into a new hobby every 5 years or so. Now I want a light sport aircraft. As for the price... it's one of a kind in a country with only a handful of S1's.. but the hardly an OE S1 anymore. I've had two 'almost there' offers.. but won't give it away.

For those interested, the car was just featured in European Car magazine (May 2014 issue). The car is running awesome and should be street legal next month (when the snow melts for inspection). Now running E85 fuel.

Couple new pictures with the wing off.... it's street look. Also I've added the front carbon winglets which are LED DRL's and signals. Finished with the carbon fiber accents.

Thanks for sharing!

The quality of the finish looks very impressive! Might even inspire me to start getting mine cosmetically tidied up.

I like the indicator idea.

I like the indicator idea.

They are pretty cool. You can turn the DRL switch on (daytime running light led's) which are white. When you activate the signal, the white goes out and the led's flash amber. I'll have to get a video at dusk to show them off.
