hey spin outs r normal man. Learning is the best way to be fast. I started tracking when I was 17 bud. I was scared to balls when I first started and spinning out felt like the end of the world. Now it's just normal. If ur still scared, I track every month u can tag along with my team lol. Just go to track and have fun!

Scared i am not. But i also know if you are spinning out all the time you need to re evaluate what you are doing that day. Ive only done two track days in the S so far and fortunately one spin out only thus far. Rolover is the only thing i genuinely fear being that its a convertible and all

Im still contemplating that, more when i dont have to drive the car daily it will definitely be in the works. I wish honda had just raised the damn roll hoops one or two more inches. are you very familiar with wheel offsets on s2k? You think 17*8.5 et 30 will fit with 245/40 tires on?

haha that sfunny, im 6.2 as well and the s leaves me not even a centimeter extra. i worry that a cage would take away more valuable room i need just to fit.

I already have those wheen from my mazdaspeed3 and its also a 5*114 bolt pattern which would save me another 1600 dollars in wheels and tires. Only problem is its such a rare offset for the s200 that i can barely find pictures of cars with that setup

U might need a major roll but I think it should fit.

thru dash cage u will be fine. Around dash u will not fit. I fit with a bucket seat, helmet, Hans, and race suit. Head dose not even touch roof when I come off the ground
