+1 looks like any old R34 you would find lurking on those Japanese auction websites (before you bring it to AUS and strip it down to all but factory fit out for compliance...)

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods
Anyone know if it's bad to change from R to D while at the end of your reverse? So instead of braking, you change to D after you're nearly done reversing, anyone know what I mean?

it is bad for your transmission in the long term and still very bad for short term, you will ruin the car. Come to a complete stop then change

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods
Can do very little damage to the transmission but you are going at really low speed (around 5 kph I hope) so it isn't much. You could alternatively chuck it in neutral and then do the final switch after a complete stop. Tbh with the car I drive, I just do a quick switch any way after a sudden stop.
I know some people who pull the handbrake first to make sure, but that's quite the overkill imo haha.

Yes it's bad, no it will "unlikely" to be an issue at super low speeds. No I wouldn't do it.

The Mighty Car Mods/Just Car Insurance Honda S2000 auction is ending in 2hrs, it's currently priced at $18,200. I was expecting it to reach at least $30,000 considering the mods, and the fact that it is a MCM car.

Well it's personal preference, i'm not a fan of the bodykit but the wrap is good. Still price deserves to be much higher.

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods
Not many people want a riced up s2000, maybe 10 years ago when autosaloon was still on though. I'd rather buy a clean original car for the same price and do wheels, coilovers and exhaust myself, saves me the time and effort to remove the wrap, front bar and replace the bonnet.
