Well I am finally a senior in high school, so in my off time I do homework & work on this car. I also am a jetski enthusiast (stand up) and work at my business (Laser Werks). My business basically comprises of me designing things in CAD and cutting them on my laser.

I purchased an 8.8 differential a long time ago for $75 and worked a while to get it ready for the s2000. I cut a rear mounting plate using my other CNC machine and a CAD model I rendered. Then I traded my old S2k differential for a LSD and new gears, and $200. Then sold my axles, and got a sponsorship from DSS for my axles. So thanks to them for setting me up with axles!

Built the front mounts myself

Yes I know...

I remember on my "intro" thread on this site, I posted that I intended to convert this car to electric and got a lot of hate.
Im just trying to do something cool!
So thanks, everyone on this thread, for not saying that I am ruining a 'perfectly good' s2k.

And thanks for all the compliments too
