Wow, thanks to all those that come out today. Weather cooperated other than being hot as hell. Lots of cool cars there and no too crowded either.
As for the times, it seemed that the heat started to effect the cars as the day went on. On my third run I got a 13.7@97mph, which was the best I could muster. Still trying to master the AWD launch, and I had problems getting it in 5th gear several times. It seemed like the average was 13.8-14.0 for everyone, except Tony in the Blue Evo who was hitting 13.4's. Anyways, I had a great time, no its time to put her on a autocross course.

Fun day but hot again. At least it wasn't rained out. There were a couple EVO's hitting high 15's and an occasional 16 so if we had a better S2000 showing we could have showed them who's boss! 14 seconds and naturally aspirated. . .oh yeah!

Sorry guys! Had to work a car show.
Couldn't run the S anyway. Just got toys installed. ACT clutch, Toda lightened flywheel, new rearend, and a short shifter. Not crazy abou the KAAZ LSD, it makes a noise when you first start turning it at low speeds. This is normal for it wbefore it locks the posi back in. Man does it push you through a turn. Now I know why autocrossers like them. Really shoots you hrough the back side.
I may take the short shifter off. It really is short and tight but the wife may never be able to hit fifth. It is really tight.
And yes she may have to drive it occasionally.
The 4.57's whine a little but Rick says that will go away.
Anyway I have to put some miles on it before I let her fly. I haven't hit VTEC but now I have 4,000 rpm punch like never before.
This was a great mod.
