At least I have S2000 weather to look forward to soon (soon like...a couple months lol).

BUT...I can at least occupy myself with all the car related projects I have coming up. Gonna buy some tubing this week...fire up the welder. Finna be 50+ degrees by the weekend.

Luckily I'm good AF at math and am about to buy a band saw for metal. Geometric perfection on that fabrication. Player.

Weather has been great in Texas!

Just got back last night from a little Valentine's run to the Big Bend area. Top down with highs in the low 80's!

I was slipping and sliding all the way from RDU airport to work
There was a 6 car accident in the way and 3 cars facing the wrong direction on the other side of the freeway.

Client site is only 10 miles from airport. All of the above occurred in that 10 mile stretch. It took me an hour to get to work

Stupid crappy Californian drivers..

Seems like a lot of work to build a BJ machine for yourself. There are cheaper alternatives. So I've heard.

Actually, I take that back. If I still had my crotch rocket, this would be a perfect day.

But since I don't, bleh.

My internal thermometer stops at 85 degrees.

If its 70 degrees, my body says its too fu#&ing cold. Roll up the windows.

If its 80 degrees, my body says 80 degrees. Go party.

If its 130 degrees, my body says its 85 degrees. Go party.

I live in....Illinois??

I'd consider it once your S comes out of hibernation

I really don't mind the heat until it gets over 100 - which was a lot during the summer.

The beach is always available if it becomes unbearable

Bro, I leave the house for 3 reasons in winter:
-work to get rich AF
-gym to get swoll'd AF
-socializing

None of it is working. I have the money and skinny phisique of a Somali pirate. And I'm so lonely :'(

At least I have the wirey strength and tan of a day laborer.

I haven't modded my car in awhile ... and got the itch.

Picking up a new Eibach swaybar kit (Front & rear sways w/ new bushings) on Saturday, install should start on Sunday but we'll see how timing goes.

Can't wait! I'll definitely post up a thorough review once I get some seat time

Don't use a stiffer rear bar on the S2000. A NC miata front bar mounted to the rear of a S2000 is a popular mod to go faster. At the track, disconnecting the rear bar altogether works well for AP1's.

I appreciate your input, although I'm going to install both bars, adjust stiffness settings, and see how I like it.

If I don't like the rear bar, I'll Craigslist it.

FYI - I'm running OEM suspension w/ a near square RS3v2 setup .. the car almost feels as though it could use some livening up in the rear.

Unloads the rear inside wheel a bit and reduces oversteer. Means you can put down power earlier.

Its useful on the track. For a street car, it doesn't matter. Getting to the limits on the street is dumb...so the ability to reach a higher limit is even dumber.
