Feezy's Build Thread - 2002 New Formula Red

Your car is quite the beauty. One small thing I noticed is regarding the oil temp/pressure sensor. You said it handles both but there is no oil flow, correct? It's just a typical pressure sensor at the end of a line? I would think the temperature would not be very accurate at all since the oil is stagnant. Not sure if I'm missing something but figured I'd mention it. Beautiful car man!

This is the nicest, most complete S2000 in the country. Very, very good updates.
I also may steal the Steel-It method for my brake calipers. I don’t mind the OEM brakes and need smaller calipers for my various wheels, but the Steel-It just really looks nice.
Great work. Genuinely great.

@TsukubaCody I just want to let you know that should you ever decide to part with those CP035s I will take the best care of them possible and treat them as if they were my own.
But I promise you I’m not planning on ever parting with them.

While we're being honest it's probably very unnecessary for me as well with this car being a street car, but I wanted to add it while I was changing things. That's a really good call out, I'll update this once I get the pieces necessary to get this up an running. They should be here this weekend.
I've been slacking on working on my car but seeing this beauty gives me some inspiration to get off my ass.

The connector came in this afternoon. I threw some loom on it and repinned the ECU side. Set it up in the ECU and it's functional. Going out this weekend and I'm going to log the runs and see how it behaves.

Eh.. there are so many parts and things you're thinking through it's easy to overlook something small. If you want a temp sensor I'd just get one that replaces the drain plug and call it a day. Put a connector close to the temp sensor in the pan so you can disconnect it to remove the drain fitting to change your oil (temp sensor just stays in the fitting) and it's really no harder to change the oil honestly. I had this setup for a little while when the car was NA and it worked well. I should have a picture in my build thread but maybe not.. you probably get the picture anyway.
