[Obsession] If You Drive an S2000, Don’t Ignore “That Gap.” Tremble with the Pleasure of Filling it with Iris Ohyama “NSK-230”!

車のトランクに荷物が隙間なくぴったりと収まったシンデレラフィットの様子

I’m not talking on a low level about the “Trunk is small.”

〜The battle of men who cannot forgive the “meaningless space” existing there〜

That mysterious gap in the center of the S2000’s trunk. Most guys just complain that “luggage won’t fit,” but we are different. The very fact that that hole is “empty” is what’s uncomfortable. This isn’t about improving loading capacity. It’s a sacred war to fill our self-consciousness with the piece called “Perfection.”

The “meaninglessly deep” void that plagues many owners. Forgive the dirt!

Apologies for the mess, but this gap is subtly annoying. However, the S2000 already has precious little storage. If you don’t utilize this effectively, you can’t call yourself an S2000 owner.

Iris Ohyama’s Crazed Research Power.

〜The Buckle Container “NSK-230” is practically a Genuine Option〜

Let me get straight to the point. A device that makes you wonder if it was born solely to fill that gap: the Iris Ohyama “NSK-230.” The length, width, and height are almost perfect. There is a bit of room on the sides, but if it were a 100% tight fit, you wouldn’t be able to take it out.

It’s not about increasing load volume. In terms of “fitting perfectly,” nothing beats this. It’s what modern people call a “Cinderella Fit.” The moment you install it, you should hear the sound of the world clicking into place.

I’m using this strange red/blue(?) color, but there is also a transparent version. Unless you’re a masochist who wants to taste the despair of seeing your filthy rags inside, just shut up and choose the colored one.

Think about the “usage” later.

〜The purpose isn’t “storage,” but gaining “dominion” over the space〜

Anyone who asks “What do you put in it?” should get out of their S2000 and go buy a minivan right now. The biggest merit of introducing this container is the visual sense of victory when you open the trunk and see it “perfectly filled.” It doesn’t matter if the contents are empty. I conquered that dead space, and I can eat three bowls of rice just on that fact alone.

Look at this insane fit. It’s no exaggeration to call it a genuine option.

As a side note, the large bulge in the upper right of the trunk houses the spare tire. However, since I carry a puncture repair kit, the spare tire is already gone.

In other words, that bulge is now a useless lump. If you want to use the trunk to its absolute fullest, a shop in Osaka called amis sells something wonderful.

I haven’t visited them personally, but they are a famous shop that releases many S2000 parts. Among them is a “Panel to make the trunk wider.”

The price is a bit high, but it’s perfect for people who want to use the trunk widely.

Me?

I don’t have enough money to spare, so it’s on the back burner!

【Official】Car Garage amis “Panel to make the trunk wider”

I shame my former self who tried to settle with a clumsy substitute.

〜The sense of defeat called “rattling” I tasted with a 100-yen basket〜

My former self compromised with a random 100-yen basket. But that “rattle-clatter” sound every time I turned a corner… that was the sound of my logic wavering. How about after changing to the NSK-230? That fitting, which allows zero play, gives the illusion that even the body rigidity has increased.

The space is filled, but my “karma” has only deepened.

〜The luxury of never using the contents of the box you fitted so perfectly〜

Thus, I succeeded in sealing the trunk gap with Iris Ohyama. The look is perfect, the logic is strongest. However, it’s a bad joke that it fits so perfectly I can’t even place my “spare shoes” there anymore. The space was utilized effectively, but my life became slightly more inconvenient. But this is fine. Because my heart is filled with this “perfect fit.”
