Haha. Hey you gotta pay to play...lol.

Btw. Just because you have no vibrations doesn't mean you shouldn't look into adding different spacers. Over time separating the differential and axle can cause issues. They are easy to install especially if you get two piece.

Good to know, man...thanks. I'll have to look into them then.
Yeah, trust me...I know it...gotta pay a lot to play! LOL...in theory, I agree with you, but as I get older and with changing priorities I have to choose my battles with wifey over money allocated to the car. I was lucky she "let" me get another S2000, lower it, wheels...etc.

Which is why I'm not in another s2000 and went with the TL.

I've had two of them already and having kids...need a back seat. Trust me though I'll be back in one some day lol. Love those cars...I know too much not to get another one.

No sh*t...didn't know you didn't still own it!
Yeah, man...for sure, I know the feeling. Even not having one for 6 months bugged me enough to get another.

RYP so you KNOW it's good!

Yeah, I had 303 previously but I'm a dummy and I bought the one for fabric tops (both times for both my S's)...then I read up and realized oem is a vinyl top so I figured I'd try a bottle of that before giving up and replacing the top. If I can get another year or two out of it, it'll be a good.

I got patches all over at this point...but fk it...patch, some sealant...not the prettiest but doesn't leak and overall doesn't look horrible.

Especially since I never have the top up unless it's parked.

303 keeps mine looking new. Only negative is that the grease/chemicals tend to run after a wash or rain. Let me know how that ragg top stuff works.

it looked "blacker"...and it was harder to remove the overspray so I think it does coat well. I actually used a micro to rub it in this time, which I've never done.

I used 303 Aerospace when I had my Sebring convertible. Not only did it keep the vinyl clean but it was supposed to keep it from drying out.

I think that was the problem...the fabric one seems like the top would dry out VERY quickly...so I figured it was worth the $30 to try it out.

to s2k retrofit ! It's the best low beam -only HID projector ! TSX projector is a close second.


A great bi -xenon projector is the 3G TL's. But the best would be the Ls460's. But that thing is so huge and unwieldy it's hard to find a housing big enough to retrofit it into..

Project in the garage ehh.... How of you for not delving into details and letting our imaginations run wild...


I know, J was figuring out how to drop his J32 into his s2K...



Then he can get rid of the TL, and get a V!!!

You were close, my friend...
actually putting the F22 in the TL for better fuel economy. Trying to make some custom brackets to get my 6.5HP Briggs and Stratton in the S to make it a little more safe in the rain.

And no ! I was working on that Snap-On tool chest I bought at that pawn shop. It's coming out
