In case anyone is looking into the exhaust...
top down and top up with external mic vids..
what is this top up you speak of?

jk man, it sounds awesome. I'll be looking into an exhaust next spring fo sho. Not worth doing it now since the car is going to sleep soon, time to start getting some Jeep parts over the winter!

Also, definitely getting that spoiler. It really finishes the rear end off nicely.

Looks like Silverstone to me.

Definitely a clean car and would be worth a look.

Someone should email the guy and ask him to invest in a non-potato camera and take real pics of both the exterior and interior.

Other than being a little tired and a little hungry, everything is good mangus

No complaints.

The S2000?

With all this recent maintenance done and Fall rolling around, the car seriously feels like it has 20 more HP .

Looking through your pictures, your car looks absolutely stunning with or without your stock AP2v2 wheels.

Are you looking at any other wheels?

I normally ninja all my shiet, but fk it.

I totally agree, it's been in the low 80's and it's amazing how much better the car drives and feels.

Thanks, man...I did the collinite on the ap2 wheels and threw them on, they clean up so well! I love the silver.

I looked and looked...I'm really really picky on wheels. Considered some Weds...but to get the face I dig, +35 would be pretty intense and I'm not into being FORCED into camber. Prodrives...some on s2k BM...but they're a little simple looking and I'm fearful I'd get bored. Looked at SSR GTV02 but got the feeling like they were "almost" quality wheels...and looked so much like Advan RS...which led me to looking at new RS2...but I really don't love the grooves in each spoke...and the deal they had that made them affordable was 17x10 +5...holy poke...

In looking at old pics of my silver one...I realized how much I missed my RS. I guess you love what you love The yolk on my face was I sold them them a week before getting my Rio S. That said, I kept in touch with the guy that had bought them from me. He was compiling parts for his future S purchase. He had bought mine to couple with a set of 17x8 +37 he bought for the front. He made me a great deal on 2 of my 17x9 +45 on the rear and 2 of those for the fronts, the tires I had included, and the center caps. Only issue, they're 2 different colors so I'll need to get them PC'd.

Oh well...everything worthwhile in life is work. That said, the only 2 things I didn't love on the old set were how pokey and stretched the fronts were and the color...it was too dark. So when it's all said and done, I'll have the discontinued wheels I love, in the proper offset, in the color of my choice.

Excited about it too...

it's funny you mention that, I had my eye on a set...but realized that they'd need to be 18's to look good...and I'm against going with anything over 17 on this car. In addition, from some angles I love it...but from most, I don't. I've never cared for a mesh wheel. I guess I'm sticking with what I know.

Kev...I haven't done any lately! When I do it goes on my slut thread!

Jin...fail? That was much much win, bro...you kidding...no curbs were hurt during the shooting of this video.

For some reason, I always have to go search for that thread. I don't get the notification anymore when something new is posted. That's why I'm usually always late to the party.

Let me guess - 17x9 w/ 255 tires?

If I come up on a pair of 17x9 RPF1s I'll most likely try running this setup.

My old advan setup was 17x9 +45...great...new will be +37 17x8 fronts...so the front tire won't look as stretched. i have less meat...

If i recall correctly, it will require some fender work for the front and the rear.

Yep!

17x9 +45 RPF1
255/40/17 RS3

This is the winning set up for the S2K. Pair it up with the front CR or splitter + GT wing. BAM!

I personally would go super light weight 16" if track is the purpose.

16x9 with 255 45 16.

Who doesn't track their S2K!? JKJK

This would be my set up even if I don't track it. Just looks so proper for the car!

who cares what it looks like on the track. That is why those are track wheels.

You won't be saying that when someone has the same car as you and pass you with the 16" wheels
