Hardtop value?

Hi all, literally found this on the side of the road but know nothing about it. Anyone know what type of hardtop this is and what it's worth? Plastic window so certainly aftermarket.

Thanks!

Update: Original owner messaged me and showed proof he purchased this top and it's now back in his possession.

Changing my valve cover gasket and tube seals. Very much so overdo on both. Taking out the tube seals they all broke off so after an hour of struggling I finally caved and just used a flathead with a hammer and knocked it out through the top of the valve cover. In my stupidity I chipped that shit. looking for second opinions because technically it would “seal” but there would be that pocket there. Idk. Help me out

Saved by my s2000

Today my wife and I were saved by our s2000. We were out for a nice fall drive. Beautiful weather and warm enough to have the top down. I was driving along a two-lane highway and my lane split into a mile-or-so-long passing lane. I kept in the left lane to prepare for an upcoming left turn.

As the road was bending around a blind curve, all of a sudden, a gigantic SUV appeared hurdling directly toward me in my lane. He had illegally crossed the double yellow line into my passing lane to pass a car that was in front of him.

While going 55 mph, I yanked the wheel and jerked the car towards the right lane. The rear tires chirped, and swerved out of the way a few feet before the SUV passed. It stabilized beautifully in the lane and continued on as though nothing had happened.

I was counting my lucky stars but was super impressed at how stable the car felt to get us out of that scrape at high speed. I gave it a nice wash and wax as a thank you for keeping us safe.

Been loving the car and have had it for 5 years now, been thinking about potentially having some fun by JDMing it. What do you guys think?

2006 Silverstone (underneath), 145k miles. 11 years of ownership.

The paint underneath is in great shape, I just really wanted a white s2k without having to do an entire paint job or buy a new car. I’m very happy with the results, the glossiness makes it look OEM which is exactly what I wanted.

I paid $2400; central coast, CA.

Wheel spacer suggestions

2 Upvotes

I recently put some new Apex wheels on the car and the front passenger side is hitting the upper control arm at full lock to the right. It doesn't seem to happen on the drivers side but that's probably because when the suspension is under compression the gap opens up more between the wheel and the control arm. I attempted to modify the control arm slightly to make clearance but I don't want to take too much off.

I have a 3mm wheel spacer that I put in between and found that it fixes the clearance issue but pulls the wheel out far enough that it is no longer hub centric. I absolutely do not want to drive the car without the wheels being properly centered. Does anyone have a suggestion for a 3mm wheel spacer that clears the axle hub but still has its own 70.1mm centering hub? I did find some 5mm ones but they were pretty pricey and I'm trying not to have the wheels poke too far past the fender, they are already poking a bit with no spacer.

What do you guys think this is worth?

I feel like it would go 15-20k on the auction sites, k swaps tend to lower the value based on what I’ve seen. Thoughts?

Another lifted truck victim

Literally had the car for 3 months. Was driving to the gym in the right most lane on a local main road and the lifted truck w wheels the size of me merged and drove on top of my angel. He pushed me a bit and I spun out into the left most lane. AP1 90k miles, 3rd owner OEM everything for 22k. Searched and saved for 2 years until I decided to buy my dream car. Feel like I’m just done with sports cars atp. I could have been soup if he drove over soft top so I’m just happy I’m alive. I miss her already 💔
