Are you currently using a ASM fender as well?

I am going to purchase the Origin offset bushings which give an additional 7mm of clearance. You should def take a look at these, and Ricky also did a write up on installation.

I would also recommend a Zerk grease fitting install.

yeah I am on asm fenders also. I am running the spoon bushing set already but I will take a look into that origin piece.

Today the Devsport brackets came in. I opted for the bottom base plates.

I also ordered a Blox battery tie down as my oem one is rusted, and beat to crap.
Third part is a LED strip light. This is being used for a third brake light.

The splitter is done, and i will be picking it up today. So i hope to find some time this week to have it all installed.

Yesterday i took the car to my buddy Loi from Loispecgarage to have my splitter mounted up.
Everything mounted up nicely, and easy. We will need to additional bracing to the splitter.

I was also playing around with carbon wrap, and wrapped my ASM cooling plate. It was my first time wrapping anything, so i did a horrible job with some bubbles here and there.
I think the red cooling plate was taking too much attention.

The Splitter and cooling plate look fantastic. Good call on the cooling plate, looks much cleaner. I would wrap the coil cover too to make it uniform. The bronze is classy as well. Good stuf man.

Loving the splitter I wish I could run this I’m just scared to run it on Cali freeways and all the crap that is laying on it. I’m forced to use my S too many times a week driving to work to run a front one. My Track civic caught a tire fragment on the way home and I lost a giant section of the bumper and splitter since it was dragged under the car.

A few updates.

I purchased a new red powdercoated valve cover, and wow does it pop. Side by side my original.. it made my original one look horrible.

I also purchased a new Mugen type f radiator cap from King Motorsports during their re-release. The problem is that the sticker is offset, and i am not the only one with this.
Now i can start searching for a new radiator; although i will probably purchase a Koyo. I also purchased and installed a Mugen steering wheel in Suede, and will post those photos up this weekend.

On Sunday i attended the Eibach meet here in SoCal at the Autoclub Speedway.
I will upload and share the photos i have taken today and tomorrow.
We met up with a S2K owner named Gabe, and about 30 S2K's met up in the morning and rolled in together.


My friend Kevin snapped a rolling shot on the 10 fwy during sunrise.
