My grocery list should have the following completed before DBRX:
  • Two new rear tires (recently mounted)
  • Replacement center caps for my wheels (got 'em...need to recondition 'em & install 'em)
  • Fortune Auto 510 custom-built coilovers w/ 10K Swift springs (installed)
  • EBC rotors & EBC brake pads (fronts & rears...should receive w/in next two weeks)
  • Fresh fluids (clutch, brake, tranny, diff, motor oil...might look into replacing my turnsignal fluid too -- I'm thinking I'll go synthetic there!)
  • Fresh NGK Plat spark plugs (installed)
  • Exedium Racing Diff Collar mounts (installed)
  • Axial Flow short shifter (installed)


Whew! That's a LOT of stuff I need to get done!!! Hmmm...and I *still* have to fabricate a cabin mount for my iPad 2


PS. What I *really* love is that it never seems to fail that juuuuuuust about a week before a Dragon event, one of my driving light bulbs will go out

Oh man, there's so much to list... I went a little crazy over October/November

- Continental DWS tires (stepped up to 225/255 widths)
- powdercoated AP2V1 rims in gunmetal (matching center caps with blue 'H')
- painted brake calipers blue (with white S2000 logo)
- blue lug nuts and valve stem cap (for that extra 10 hp!)
- Injen cold air intake
- front brake pads replaced with OEM
- clutch bleed
- transmission fluid (Honda MTF)
- diff fluid (Mobil 1)
- blacked out side markers
- Fischer cup holder

And, of course, the hardtop, but I suspect that will be off by April.

Has anyone seen a DIY on how to change out the S2000's muffler bearing?

I think mine is going out and would like to replace it before WTD.

Or is it something only a Honda dealer can fix?
