I live in Lafayette and bought mine this past October, with just under 60K miles. Since then, have torqued the rear axle nuts, new oil, diff, and trans fluid as well as new brake fluid, added the Modifry top straps, new plugs, valve adjustment, Ballade 70mm TB, cooling plate to gutted stock air box, Flash Pro Tune, Ballade high flow cat. I plan on doing some HPDE and so plan on diy front/rear brake ducts, upgraded pads, ss brake lines, using modified rear wheels front/rear for a 245 square setup, new injectors, a PLM header, a roll bar, larger radiator and Club Racer springs, struts and sway bars. I have seen only about 5 other s2k's in Lafayette. I've been doing HPDE in a very modified 86 Mustang (Griggs suspension, Mass Air 351 Windsor) since 1994 (the Mustang is my first brand new car) and every time I was on track with the s2K's or Miatas, they just ate my lunch. So, I decided to go over to the Dark Side to get faster by adding lightness (apologies to Colin Chapman). Hope I can meet someone with track experience, I need info on seats and harness mounting.

Welcome to the dark side. See you at nola motorsports in Sept.?

I'm actually having a couple issues if anyone can help. My clutch and clutch master cylinder, seem to be having issues. For some reason, when the car is off I can switch into any gear, when I'm driving after changing my fluid, I can go from 1st to 2nd, then the forth and so on. I cannot at any time while driving shift into third gear without grinding. I just bought the car we can go, and the guy who sold it to me, tell me it's working perfectly. Come to find out a week later, because my need to be replaced, the master cylinder, headlights, whole bunch of issues. I would really appreciate some help from someone, because last car owner was an SI. Obviously it is to completely different cars, and I haven't had the car long enough, to try and figure out its quirks.

If I get the brakes upgraded, then a good chance.

a must: vent the front brakes, ss lines, and at least better pads for the front. the front wears 3x faster then the back with oem

Are you using a race seat, harness, roll bar? Any advice on those? I'm thinking of running a 245 square setup (after brake mods done) using bored out rear AP2 wheels. Also, are you using an upgraded radiator and oil cooler? I got the Ballade oil pan baffle and had it welded into the pan. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

One more question: what have you heard about the Federal RS-R tires? Any good down here in the gulf coast heat?

Sadly, don't recognize many names here, but last time I visited there was still a NOLA sub-forum.
