Love the suspension choice!

 

Gratuitous action shot:

 

Nice!

 

 

bbs for ftw! good looking car.

 

my new shoes arrived

 

Thanks! LMs tend to work very nicely with the S

Can't cheap out on the S

 

Holy hell those tires are massive.

 

do it on your tofu delivery car too!

17x9!

 

mount em!!!

 

as you wish

also put on my Cusco front sway bar to keep it balanced without having staggered tire sizes

 

 

New shoes look great Tommy.

How does the new sway bar feel?

 

With the bar and the sticky tires, this thing handles like you wouldn't believe.

I'll have to let you feel the difference next time you're around, Mark.

 

didn't catch that. it does look good

 

Tommy...RS3 FTW now that they are actually in at tirerack. I waited 2.5 months on my 225 fronts, had a set of 255 rears waiting.

You will love the grip, esp with a stiffer front bar ( I have a Saner)

 

Saner bar is nice. I couldn't find one or a Gendron bar, so I bought the thickest commercially available one. The Cusco is 1.25" solid, where others like the Eibach one, are the same diameter but hollow. Feels good so far but I haven't pushed it too hard and I am going to run less toe in the rear and more front camber, so that'll change the balance a bit.

A little S2000 history. I enjoyed this brief treatise on the life of the S2000 immensely. Hopefully, you will too.

 

I'm deciding on an exhaust. HKS Hi-Power Dual.... Anyone have any experiences with it in the s2000? I've watched lotsss of videos on it. I'd like to hear it in person but so far no one local has one/replied to me.

There's someone selling it locally but he already took it off...

 

How's everyone doing in terms of MPG ?

Three tanks so far. Two around 28 and one at 23

 

I averaged 26mpg over 15,000 miles of ownership.

 

25-26 mpg in mixed city-freeway driving. Lowest to date is 23 mpg. Highest was on my single road trip to the Dragon, 30 mpg, got almost 300 miles to a tank.

 

I get 22, almost all city

 

Driving to Boise tomorrow, over 550 miles for me. We'll see how the S2000 stacks up after a long trip

 

So much win in this thread! I'll add to it with my friends AP1 on SBC RPF-1s.

 

Well I did a grand total of 1400 miles this past 6 days. The S2K fits me, just barely in almost every dimension. Once I fiddled with the seat 'just right' I was able to drive a few hours in between stretches.

I took the car north of Boise which has some excellent twisty roads for pushing the car a bit. I also had a chance to do the same run the next day with my uncle in his '07 Miata for comparison.

 

I'm 6'3 and feel the same way. I'm gonna get the backyard special seat rail to lower it a bit and keep my quads off the steering wheel. I think an extra inch or so of room will really help

 

my latest mod includes some asshole stealing my ap2 exhaust tips...

 

Are those the 17x8 +40 Team Dynamics? I have a set of those for my AutoX tires. On my AP2.

 

Here's my Album for my S2k since I've owned it. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...3&l=300cf89168

and here's a little video teaser I did for a little project I'm working on:

Let me know what you guys think :-D

 

 

17x9 TR Motorsports C3 wheels, for my autocross tires

Here's my fastest run from this past weekend

 

Now that's using an S2000 as it was intended to be used. Hats off to you!

 

I need to do that. Time to buy a helmet.

 

^^^^
Yup, I've got a helmet (used when drag racing the V). I just need time and for my wife to be not afraid I'm going to die from an autocross course.

 

Just looked at the value of my 2002 S2000 with only 24k miles on KBB for giggles. Private sale value is now $19k! That's a little more than I paid for my car four years ago.

I know KBB values are inflated and I know it's the middle of convertible season, but this almost, ALMOST, makes me tempted to sell. Of course I really won't. Just sharing that prices for S2000s are appreciating more than they have in the past, and faster than I thought they would after the discontinuance of the model.

 

^ Which sucks for us on the outside looking in. Getting a clean, well maintained S2k will run into the $20s from what I saw

 

Paid just over $22,000 for my '06 with 33,000 miles. I lucked out!!

 

I brought my mom along for a run and had her pretty scared

^^^^^^^
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

My wife would be worse, though, she'd be clawing her way through the passenger door with the car moving. That is, if she made it out the door with me. She'd rather stay home. Wuss!
