Forgot to share that I took a nice twisty road sunday with the car and really got to push the limits within a semi-safe environment. (large, flat grass shoulders on both sides.)
I learned the limits of slow speed and high speed turns before breaking the tires loose.
also got accustomed to correcting the slide and even working with it around corners.

it was good experience to learn the car's behavior at semi-high speed and around very sharp corners at low speeds.

This car is easily broken loose but its also very responsive even when "out of control"
im excited to really let it loose on our local road course (once wider wheels/tires are on)

I've driven really fast cars but I must say, nothing came close to the smile it put on my face to push the handling limits of this car.

 

Awesome to hear, other RS.

 

You need to get your practice in before the S2Ki meet in Arkansas in the fall. Yes, you are going.

 

I could do a weekend in Arkansas without having to take vacation.

 

If you're hardcore enough you could do it.

I usually go up on a Thursday or Friday to pre-game a bit. It's soooo worth it though. If you go once, you will never miss it again. Spectacular roads and people. Not to mention Eureka Springs is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in the fall.

There is no better place to enjoy an S. Beer's on me if you do.

 

Jordan is fkng awesome...

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Bahahahahaha that's legitimate

 

captures the sentiment, right? Thanks, man.

Got some pretty good rollers on Sunday...well, Austin (undying dreams) did...was brutal because it was a park road so we couldn't go over about 20mph and he had to keep the shutter open long to capture the wheel but NOT too long to have a lot of shaky for a blurry car.

I'm a dedicated photographer...

Thanks, J! I'll be contacting him!

 

Thanks Austin...
Dave, go for it, man! You're welcome!

 

Nice pic. But the front tires should have been turned to the right with smoke in the rear tires.

 

LMAO, you'd love for me to end crashing into a tree huh

 

you can do it!

 

I did a full 360 donut in the rain today when I got home...entrance to my development has a large empty area, nobody around. Don't mind if I do!

 

You crazy!!

But I would like to see you drift it around a turn...successfully...

 

do you haz post of the video in question?

 

It's gonna rain for a week straight here. I'll have some sliding videos lol

 

I hope they all end with a smile and not with a mandatory FS thread on S2ki and a on your car.

 

i just noticed u 2 have the same user name.......and drive the same car......

 

well...it's a similar user name.

and a similar car...

 

"Driving a slow car fast is funner than driving a fast car slow"

 

@funner

 

LOL! J, you caught that too!?

 

Big time!

oh, and courtesty of USDMJon...too good not to share.

 

English is my second language

Yew mock-uh mai Engurish-uh?!?!?

 

Sir, I would NEVER.

 

any of you guys follow the Cory Maurer DIY build over on S2ki?
I'm speechless



http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/9089...#entry23268994

 

I love seeing builds where the guys could clearly go out and just buy a GTR or Lambo or something but don't. This also makes me laugh at myself for bitching about petty problems with my car.

Is there a 'kit' swap for you guys? The NC swap by V8 Roadsters is north of $40k..

 

I'll drop in a J37 someday...

 

That is the worst thing you can do to a S2000.

 

alllll the torque!

im actually following the electric S2000 thread more than the V8.

the V8 has been done.. I want to see this battery powered S2k's numbers at the track when he's done.
and dude is like 20 years old.

 

I hope it wont catch on fire.

 

It's not that much heavier and doesn't cause understeer. And sadly until Honda makes a V8 that a consumer can purchase, that's it for Honda-sourced performance unless you go forced induction.

 

If you read through that guy's build, he does most of the welding/fabricating himself. I'm really really impressed by that...it's really not a pay whatever it cost build.

I read about the electric too, but that didn't leave me any more jaded about the retrofit of a v8 this guy did.

found some impromptu shoot locations on the way home from a work detour today...

^^ Dude, did you pick these up from member ricky flowers?? I almost bought them but got turned off after looking at this picture he posted, didnt like how rear wheels poked out Yet when I look at the pictures you posted the fitment looks spot on, wonder if he had spacers in the back.

 

Yes, Farukh...don't kill me. Ricardo Flores aka Ricky Flowers is a local member to me, 2 weeks ago Sunday I drove to the warehouse where he lives, bought them and spent a week cleaning them up and then sold the TE37 the same day.

I remember that picture from his FS ad too! He had written that it was his buddy being goofy running the rears on a 25MM spacer! I'm running no spacer, currently...looking at possibly adding an upper balljoint camber kit to just bring the top out a smidge.

 

Just went back and looked he did mention a spacer being installed. Oh well, i guess it wasnt meant to be, let me know if you ever want to sell them, I might take them off of your hands.
