I've put nearly 14k miles on my S2k since purchase last July. I can't get enough of it.

I've put a ton of miles on the TSX this year traveling to and fro. Not many on the S2000 or ITR. The S2000 is my DD for the next week or so, though. Drove it like 130 miles today. Whew.

Got some traveling/trips coming up soon a few times. Probably take the S2000 when I'm not using the private jet.

By private, I mean I try to get first class tickets. But they're always throwing me into the street.

Well the biggest reason is that it gets parked for 6 months while you guys are all out driving.

6 months when El Nińo is in full effect. Otherwise, 8 - 12 months of winter is typical.

Bros, one more week til my bro flies down from CA and me and him (and a bunch of other bros) go to the track, bros. He's driving my ITR on track for the weekend. So I get to fulfill my dream of tracking it before selling it bros.

Excite.

I'll drive it a few times as well.

Bought brake pads for it yesterday. Probably get it aligned tomorrow...or during the week. I eyeball spec aligned it...and it seems good. It goes straight, and tire wear is even. But...may as well make sure. Plus, I can do a ultra spec good ass spec Broland spec alignment if its on a real machine.

My point was you never get to enjoy how pretty the car is in action since you're usually the one in the driver seat.

Lol nice. Must have had a B18 in it. Or a K.

I have friends with K swapped Miatas (the original K miata), and a friend with a K swapped turbo Elise that has a dogbox trans. We got all the hosing right by copying it off my TSX lol.

We were thinking of calling ourselves the KKK crew. But...that didn't fly. Pfffff. Liberals.

Also, the dude driving my ITR is semi-famous. So he better get me a hollywood movie deal. My brand is skyrocketing in 2016.

No, it was a K20A2, if I'm not mistaken.
Or 3...can't recall, but it wasn't the castrated one they put in the EP3. I had both...

K20A2 = 02-04 RSX S
K20A3 = EP3/RSX bass (like the fish)
K20Z3 = 06-11 Si
K20Z1 = 05-06 RSX-S
K40S4 = JK.

Z1, that's what I had!
and a A3 before that...
although I had a buddy with a stage 1 turbo'd A3 and it was beastly fast...supposedly the lower compression and 5 gear ratios were better for boost.
I loved my RSX.


LMK.

B series was cool... a decade or two ago. Design wise, it is a great series of engines, but due to their limited displacement.. they're in the stone age now, in terms of power output.
