Hi Eric

Since the thread got bumped, here's the most recent photo. Currently awaiting for a battery tender to arrive as it wouldn't start on Sunday I drove it 40 miles on Friday with no issue, then on Sunday it tried to crank, but didn't have enough juice to completely start. I'm hoping I can charge it up a bit and it'll be alright. This purchase was long overdue anyway, as the S2000 sits around a lot and I just put a new battery in it, even though it was less than 5 years old.



Edit: Woof, not sure what happened to the resolution of the photo. Looks fine on my phone

CL needed a new main relay, properly diagnosed by @civicdrivr . Got a fresh battery installed, along with an alignment, and she's good to go



I abandoned my OEM+ roots and got a Revel (Tanabe) Medallion Touring-S exhaust. I traded my stock exhaust plus a hilariously low amount of cash and couldn't be happier.




A week after the install, it was time for the second annual Tail of the Dragon weekend with some Acurazine members. Unlike last year, I was able to finally drive the Dragon and had a great time. It was rather cold in the morning, but warmed up nicely as the days went on.



I was certainly one of the slowest vehicles in our group, but still had a killer time.





















Proof that I actually drove the Dragon this year :rofl









Just hit 155k the day after getting home from the trip.



I'm hoping to get some new items for the car before next year's trip, listed below, but we'll see what happens.
-Ohlins Coilovers
-Eibach F/R Sway Bars
-New Set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
-New Differential Mounts

Honestly not bad. Got stuck behind an infuriating Buick Enclave twice that refused to pull off or go above 25 mph, but other than that, it was a great drive.

The S2k is such an awesome car, so much fun without the risk of immediately going to jail.

I can't wait for the current owner of my car to be ready to sell it.

Are you running rears all around? Do they fit without any body mods?

My fenders done been rolled...rears have tab relocated and fronts...well, I rolled so well I might have slightly pulled but it doesn't look bad.
I won't muddy up Tyler's thread with talks of an S2000 that still has the original motor though. Let me double check if I have my own S2K thread.
Probably

I bet that tramlines like fucking crazy now lol. People put squares on GT350s and I can't imagine how horrible that is on the street. The stock fronts tramline all over, the wider rears would be so much worse.

Honestly haven't driven the car since I got back from The Dragon Finally gave it a good clean this past weekend. Love when it's 70 degrees in December.



Got the CL clean too.

We actually might end up with 3 trips being planned to the Dragon this year. There has always been some interest over the years in a spring trip, many have wanted the Fall trip moved earlier in the year to be warmer, and I have also for some time now wanted to be able to make it to Classic Hondas at the Dragon event.

We can probably also cram about 3 more people into the existing housing situation as long as people are not opposed to sleeping on couches or air mattresses on the floor.

Me: Hoping I get an invite for the warmer one so as to not be driving a Mustang on sticky summer tires in the cold straight into a crowd.

I'm hoping I can make some progress with the CL to take it to the Classic meet.

If I have the Midget in trip-worthy condition [mechanically], definitely up for consideration.
I'll run sweep, since I'll be the slowest of the group

It'll still be faster to trailer the MG, probably better for the driver too.

Oh, that would 100% be the plan. Screaming that thing along for 15 hours would be detrimental to the car & driver. Unless I had the time to take a couple days each way & take the scenic route & non-highway routes to keep it to sane RPMs.

I just meant it's a 15hr shot in normal conditions, probably add a bit of extra time to it with the Midge in tow.

I wouldn't be opposed to sleeping on a couch, air mattress, floor, broken twigs, rockstars' lap, etc.
