Went to Buttonwillow for the first time in the S2000 and ran a 1'58.4. Last time I went in May of 2017 in my RSX, I ran a 2'05 so I shaved like 7 seconds? The JRZ suspension soaks up bumps like I've never experienced before but they might feel a bit soft compared to the HKS. May consider upping the spring rates to 16k/14k in the future.

 

Went to Laguna Seca for the first track day of 2020. Tested out a fresh set of A052 with some new Titan 7 wheels. Set a PB of 1'40.07 which was just shy of my 1'39 goal. Unfortunately, my oil filter gasket failed and spilled all my oil and ended with a fire.

 

Fire? I hope the car's okay.

 

To what spec (lbf-ft) was the filter torqued?

-- Chuck

 

Guess not tight enough. Gonna make sure I use a torque wrench from now on lol.

 

Hopefully just a fried wiring harness. Don't know until the shop goes thru it all.

 

Refreshed the look of my car for 2020. Attempted wrapping my car by myself which turned out alright! Goal was for it to look decent from like standing 10 ft away from it and look good in pictures as well.

Did my first trackday at Thunderhill West CW so in reverse. Ran a time of 1'22.6 which is faster than my CCW forward time. Track is definitely faster going backwards. Had to end the day early because my splitter/tunnels were having issues.




Also got retuned with my new 70mm Milltek dual exhaust with 70mm TP. The gains were massive! +10hp peak and +20hp midrange. Midrange torque was massively increased. It finally hit the 230whp club.

 

Love seeing the progression of the car and your driving, keep it up!

 

Is that versus the Fujitsubo Power Getter? How was the fit of that exhaust on your AP2 - i normally see it listed for 00-03? difference in transmission tunnel cause any problems?

 

For the milltek i took a hammer to make some clearance in the transmission tunnel lol. Wasnt too much work but yeah otherwise it rubbed.
