All you have to do is provide the car, the two tops, and the $30,000, and we are good to go! Happy Thanksgiving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patinum Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 $1000 mugen hardtop + $1000 crowdfund donation * 30 S2000 owners = Wind tunnel gamble to save $1000 each Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHo Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 42 page thread here we come! Since I read every word of that thread, and so now own an OEM top, I'm staying outta this Same here. I even emailed Greg before I started building my car because I was so confused. OEM hardop works fine for zero points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZELISE Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It would probably be less expensive to crowd fund molds of the OEM top and pay someone to make replica OEM hardtops with top grade hardware than pay for a wind tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedengineer Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ^ yeah that! You guys should contact CCP fabrication (Florida I think). I think I have his email, if you want it. He makes fiberglass parts for a lot of cars. I have his miata hardtop, very high quality, copy of OEM, 11 lbs, and only cost $550. I'm sure if someone got him an s2k hardtop he'd make a mold of it and start selling tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndogg Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The forbidden oem replica top is really nice. Mine fits great, looks great, and they are pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you're doing the $30k wind tunnel test, I'm in to spectate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apexkingjusto Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'll chip in $500 towards the wind tunnel. Maybe we can find 60 more guys now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahaSHO Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm a little bummed as I have a Forbidden Mugen Replica. My wife got it for a Christmas sale last year for a steal. At the time, I didn't realize it would cost me points for not going any faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob O Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Just run your car in Honda Challenge, it is fine there, no points or weight added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
