I haven't been to the track yet with this wing, but there is another S2K owner here In The Netherlands with the same wing and he does time attacks.
So it can definetly withstand high speed downforce. I'll let you know when it's up for sale.

Thank you Jared!
I've drooled over your car many times before.
Especially with the black SE37K's haha.

Last week I sold my J's Rep GT wing. I have to get used to this somewhat empty looking rear end. I'm sure the Tamon spoiler will fill in that emptyness.

Today I also raised the car 10mm higher of the ground. I'm going for a more "functional" rideheight. At first it looked a bit odd having a few millimeters of wheelgap, but I do like how it sits right now. I know it will look better with some meatier 255 tires, which will probably be my next upgrade.



Now we wait for some carbon parts from Japan...

Oem AP1 wings look ok, but then it would look like any other AP1 S2000 with a OEM wing.
I really like how the Tamon wing makes the trunk look taller because it goes over the third brakelight.
Both my trunk and wing are made of carbon, so it will kinda look like one piece.

Thanks Felipe! Yes it should! I'm expecting the Tamon and frontlip this week. It's always such a torture knowing the parts are almost here.


Today I switched to 245 tires on the front. I'm really digging this slightly beefier look. The 235/40 tires were a little too flat and skinny for my taste. The sidewalls were also slightly stretched. It's nice for really low cars, but for more "functional" cars I think beefier tires look much better. Tommorow I will fit 255's on the rear and I might go 255 allround in the near future, but then I will have to flare the frontfenders a little bit more I think.





I also sourced a second hand red RHD carpet on Ebay for 60 pounds. This should arrive this week. When I bought the car the carpet on the driverside had a huge gaping hole. I drove around without a carpet for 2 years because racecar... Now I want a little more comfort, so after 3 years I'm finally getting it fixed haha.

Today I went to the tireshop to mount my 255 rear tires. Might aswell weigh a SE37K. I did not expect them to be this lightweight. I have read and seen that 17x9 CE28N's are around 16.4lbs and TE37's are around 17lbs (Low offset, Not concave), so I'm happy with this weight.
