I dropped off my black "Rev Happy" AP1 for the tct/timing gear/valve retainers/decklid spoiler on Sat.. I assumed those two pics were from my car, right?

Any updates on the new version hardtop with the OEM-like moulding? Will a fiberglass version be in the works after the CF one?
Only if I knew this was coming up before I got the previous version

Great to see you guys improving and bettering your product line.

^ Any product information and updates are posted in the Sponsor forum. This thread is specifically just to share our day to day activities during service.

We don't have any updates to post for the new hard top as of yet. Thanks for the support and our goal is to constantly improve and create new solutions for the S2000.

A customer brought in his in with unusual noises and vibration in the clutch pedal, this is what we found:

The improper installation left him with loose flywheel bolts which rattled against the crank, causing damage to the flywheel and more importantly the crankshaft. This is very crucial because now the crankshaft is unbalanced. Possibility of engine bearing failure is now higher due to the vibration the crank may sustain from being unbalanced.
