to Mario again!


Spent most of Sunday replacing all of the bushings in my front lower control arms. Was a PITA pressing some of them out at first! The driver and passenger side compliance bushings were both torn and the passenger side was completely rotted out.

Honda does not sell these bushings separate, you need to buy a new control arm. So I went with the Spoon bushings from GoTuning, it feels soooo much better after all the new bushings and new alignment!

Mario busted his ass on that job, I was worn out from just watching! Im sure Mario has some pics, my old bushings were pretty bad.

I love having Mario around, he is damn good at what he does and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty like "most" of the princess and self proclaimed expert shops around here.

5 stars for Mario!

Another quick thanks going out to Mario. He worked on the S late afternoon this past Saturday (after he got off work). It goes without saying, but I absolutely trust my car in his hands. Always top notch and goes the extra mile. See you soon for more work!

Shout out to Mario @ Rogue Motorsports for installing the Ballade Sports V2 roll bar for me! Definitely does good quality work, knows s2000's very well and overall a very experienced mechanic! Located in Brentwood, CA. I highly recommend!

You can see pics of the roll bar on my build thread

This is a really late review back in July 27th but I've been so busy with work I dropped off the S2ki scene. 2017 I'm planning to go pretty big but this is the last work Mario did with Ama (finally named her). Superb work as usual. Planning to get the front brakes done again and even more $@%#@. Mario is my go to guy in the East Bay scene. I've dropped my car off there for a couple of days and I have 110% confidence in his workmanship. You're about to get more work Mario, get your tools ready.


Installed, AP1 Flywheel, OEM Clutch Assembly, Spoon Rigid Collars

Spoon Rigid Collars going in.
Clutch going in!
OEM Fluid and Clutch Assembly
Highly recommended upgrade!

Thanks for the quick one Mario! Get ready for all the other parts you're going to be putting on.
