I think someone picked up some rice this weekend. Time for an updated engine engine bay shot imo.

Hahaha, will do!

Does that mean you'll have the S2K ready for auto-x this weekend?

I don't want to say. But I will say that I have my fingers crossed.

If just the swaybar gets here, I still can't autox it.
If just the tires get here I'm going to have one very twitchy car, but will still autox it.
If both get here, most of Edmonton is going to be able to hear a chorus of angels coming from my garage.

Grant. A late congrats on the new whip. Love S2000's.
Hopefully I can make it out to volunteer at another autocross before the season ends (no I cannot make it this weekend). And yes, I shall try and snag a ride from ya.

"Dear Customs,

Please don't be jerks who make my stuff sit in a warehouse for a week. Please realize they're not anything dangerous or contraband. I need them for auto-x.

sincerely,

But are you going to be home for the UPS van...?

I'm being hopeful that he'll leave it with my neighbors like last time!

Claw · « **Reply #144 on:** August 11, 2010, 10:30:24 am »

Mine were left out front.

On the driveway.

Less than 10m from the sidewalk.

Good thing I had the day off and came home to find them there... otherwise they would've walked.

GrantC · « **Reply #145 on:** August 11, 2010, 06:44:16 pm »

They're here! And they were left with the neighbours after all...

Front:

Rear:

And a quick pic of them on the car:

And my new engine bay rice:

I hear part of a chorus singing in the background

You are going to have soooo much fun, twitchy or not! I expect great things of you in the near future Grant -- no reason why you shouldn't kick some autox butt... Just don't go yanking that steering wheel around

It's funny you should mention the word "twitchy"... My Saner front swaybar hasn't arrived yet... The events on the 14th & 15th might be pretty entertaining!

In stock form, the car isn't forgiving, but you know that already. Even with a huge front swaybar (e.g. Ankeny), it can still bite if you don't treat it right. However, it's still very driveable if you don't get sudden or jerky with your inputs. And some hints -- never lift the throttle in mid corner, and never try to make it through a slalom faster than the car wants to go:
