How did you manage to get a drain in your floor? And where does it go to?

The house was built on spec, so I don't know what had to be done to have a drain there.

As for where it goes, that's still a mystery to me.

reading your responses from your first event put the biggest smile on my face this morning!

Well done Grant... It's great to hear!!

Updated the first post with a shopping list that'll take 5+ years to complete. Hope the class is still around by then.

Jo and I tried the CG-Lock and didn't hate it, but didn't feel that it helped all that much. Your mileage may vary...

Isn't RWD awesome Grant? BTW, I have a CG Lock you can have, don't really need it with the 6-point.

It could always depend on the seats too... The s2k seats are pretty well bolstered, including the front of the seat cushion to keep you from sliding forwards.

Did you autox your car before installing the sway bar?

Nope. Only because it came w/ non-autoxable tires... (And because the FSB arrived in time)

If I could've tried all of the options of "staggered tires" -> "non-staggered tires" -> "non-staggered tires + big FSB" I would've. But since I would be starting from "non staggered tires" onwards I decided to just install it all.

If grant doesn't take it, ill buy you a beer at the next wing night I am at with you. I need it for my car, I have just been using the seatbelt twisting method.

I think Grant wants it based on how fast he PMed me :lol:.
Did the car come stock with staggered wheels Grant? Also, group buy on big spoilers?

Yup, it came stock w/ 16x6.5" and 16x7.5" wrapped in 205/55R16 and 225/50R16. (When I got it was wearing 225/50R16 and 245/45R16 and a mix of dry rotted summers and all seasons).

Haha, I have a lot bigger "bang for your buck" mods to do first.

Can't do it in the class I want to compete in.

I have yet to have the torsen diff fail to work for me. I'll see once I get to know the car better, and once I try at some tighter venues.

I'm a little hesitant to go for any of the "JDM" brands for coilovers...

The Saner with street tires shouldn't cause you any grief with your Torsen -- it's only r-comps that cause that ugly inside wheel lift.

You should check out 949Racing for S2000 parts, they carry exhaust parts, suspension goodies, brake bits and a handful of aerodynamic aids.

Yea, they're the sponsor of the "racing & competition" subforum on s2ki, so I've done some window shopping with them.

nice choice grant

im pretty sure you've seen my friend's white s2k with the red/black interior you want at autox before (has red jdm badges and an invidia exhaust).

Everytime i drive his car, the drive is always sensational, especially with his mods that he has done

Bad experience with your Tein Flex coilovers on your wrex?

Wally · « **Reply #221 on:** August 21, 2010, 01:07:18 pm »

The TEIN Flex's gave grant genital herpes, he was not pleased.

Not bad as in worse than stock... Just not as good as they could've been, overdamped, oversprung, and with no droop travel.

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #223 on:** August 21, 2010, 04:05:55 pm »

The Monoflex are supposed to be quite a bit better than the Flex, if you can't find anything else you like. I think the Monoflex are the Tein coilovers tested in that SCC article I posted on your Facebooks.

Yup, they are. I'm just holding out hope that the Moton/Penske fairy will visit me and save me from all this comparison shopping.
