The front end is really starting to come together, the exhaust manifold is done. After not seeing it in person for quite some time, I forget how impressive it really is.......posted a few here, the rest on SSM...

I have a lot of new pics (interior, front bumper, engine bay, intercooler piping), tough to load them all to one place.
Some are on SSM and the others on cardomain( I like the side by side small pics on cardomain, but they are bigger on SSM). Its all coming along.....I forgot to post the seats so here they are and a few others not on the other sites...

you've obviously never driven an S2000. It's a torqueless wonder, (turbo will help there though) but it's FAR from a POS engine. It's a little screamer.

Well I've owned 9 cars and every single one of them a Ford product. What's your point?

I might buy number 10 this weekend too. Yeah, another Ford.

You've never driven an S2000. I have. They are far from a POS and are a little go kart and are ridiculously fun to drive. Just because its foreign doesn't mean it's a piece of crap. Grow up.

100% Agreed. They are AWESOME cars. Quit being such an immature die hard for American autos. Open your eyes Tyler. Most of the parts for the rangers were made over seas. I can tell you that I will never plan on purchasing a foreign car, but have a lot of respect for the company's and where they are today.
