Default Look what I found in RhinoS2K's car! (A NEW WORLD RECORD!)

While installing some lowering springs on RhinoS2k's car I stumbled on a set of springs spacers still on his rear springs!!! There's 18,000 miles on his car too! New record??? Funny thing is that he only had them in the rear and not the front!



Oh so happy to get those things outa there! And as usual, BC over at my house bothering me while I'm working on someone's car...



The best part is that now he knows why everyone else can corner so much faster than him without drifting and how amazed he was that the car felt so stable going 90mph. I can't imagine what it must've felt like with those suckers in there!

Is that "V" for Vtec, or "V" Trojan Victory?

I get confused with that also.

during the malibu drive, a fellow trojan in an s2k sees my license plate and gives me the V sign...i'm thinking it's V for vtec and think to myself "is he giving all 45 S2K's at this meet the V sign???"

then I see his SC cap...Fight ON!!

haha thanks for helping me yesterday Aaron! Damn you are quite the sage when it comes to the S! Is there anything you don't know how to tune on the S? Man if it wasn't for you I'd probably wrecked my car in the Malibu run today! It's AMZAZING how much faster I can go through the turns w/o braking or nearly as hard, screeching my tires, or drifting through the corners! I felt like a little boy driving a go-kart for the first time! I still don't know how the hell I got through driving my S so long on all those canyon runs before w/o realizing the spacers were still on??? I'm just so damn lucky to be alive! haha I now finally know the "true" performance feel of the S!

Edit: Loving my HKS lowering springs now! 1.2" front & 1.4" rear drop + Spugen Dual Ovals. Worked awesome during the Malibu run! Guess I'll never know how my stock S really should've handled like Do I get to be in the Guiness Book of World Records??
