So...rather than spend any of that money I am getting back on TL parts on the V...
thinking about finally ordering the cloth soft top for the S2000. Mine is patched and leaking PRETTY badly in this rainy ass weather.
Feels like I patch one hole and 2 more pop up. It's time.

The V is new and perfect, take care of the old girl.....

S2K's are way too nice to be neglected, besides, keep the Honda money in the Honda family, !!!

For sure, M&M...you right, you right.
I wasn't really neglecting it on purpose just wasn't sure if I would tackle myself or pay someone to do the install. I am certain I can figure it out though.

You know, now that you mention it, it might be...

Thanks, my brother...
I actually thought about it when you sent me the link because of the repaired one. I just figured if she holdin' air maybe I'd hold out for aftermarket wheels.
Also, side note...holy fucking fuck...Michelin PSS and any good rubber is PRICEY AF in a 19" or 20"...
Thinking about sticking with 19's to swap over tires...gah...

Hellz yeah.. but as much praise the PSS get, there are many high performance tires that will perform great for you needs at a fraction of the costs.
The new V3 wheels are something like 50% stronger and supposedly lighter, uses a new forging process. I wonder how they'd look on the V2.

I know it's pricey, but I've been thinking of running 285 up top and 305s in the rear... fur raisins

Anybody here know how much dealer front+rear diff fluid drain+fill would run me?

I can't believe no G8 guys have scooped them up yet...
the V wheels, that is...listing is still active.

Damn...offsets correct? Widths?
I bet they would look fucking amazing...

I was cross shopping BMW wheels too...but again, too much money on someone else's OEM (plus, they're bolt and not stud, so I'm not sure about retrofitting).

Jon, earmuffs...
but I was checking out the 19" rotiform nue...always loved the simplicity and they would look nice on the wagon, I think. Easy to clean and don't break the bank.

I'll just stick with spacers for now...

Damn...beast...you are obviously not going to run spacers then with that width tire front and rear.
I finally coughed up the money for PSS this last time and they are definitely awesome tires...but I'd have to consider other options.
On the plus side, looks like with the V you only really need to replace rear tires

Sucked.
Great. Justn goes for a walk around the neighbourhood and J kills him while he was innocently crossing in a cross walk.

J, I hope you picked up the remnants and made some delicious crab cakes.

I tried looking info up and nothing comes up. Would make sense if it is particular to GM only. Like you said, just an internal parts supplier, so you don't hear anything about it.
