It has been a busy weekend!

Friday we took out Kevin's Comptech so he could trade it for his new mod, I asked him to hold the hose harness and scratch his head and look as confused as we were, but it just didn't come across in the picture.


and I slapped on my Whiteline STB, which I found actually helped settle the front end a little bit more although nowhere as dramatically as the Cross brace (and probably wouldn't do a thing without a cross brace):


Saturday was Spugen overdose; I got there at 8:00am and they weren't done with my car until after 4:00, so I spent the day watching other s2000's come in and out while my car was worked inbetween. Hockey and another member (sorry dude, forgot your ID) swapped exhausts early. Spider was there for a long time, waiting to get a bolt tack welded to keep it from coming out. Ken (forgot your board name) got an AEM engine mangement system installed. Another guy in a Silver (silverstone) came by towards the end of the day, sorry if I wasn't too sociable, I was getting a little aggravated about being there.

Paul got his car SLAMMED with Espeliers and Konis:



Everybody spent the day watching this Supercharger getting installed and drooling, I won't reveal the member in case he wants to be under cover, but dude I have a bunch of pics if you care:


Me?

I got the OEM resonater/center pipe installed to tune down the exhaust note but it is still too loud for me:


And because I am too lazy to do it myself I had my Muz Whiteline Sway bar installed (which almost got put on the rear by mistake!):


Not to mention Stainless brake lines all around:


And the Stainless clutch line:


and OEM Diff/OEM Tranny/ATE SuperBlue brakes+clutch.

So a lotta good stuff installed, saw a lotta good people, but I was there for WAY too long - now I need to spend some time with my wife!

HEY JD!! Slow down bro!! Lemme CATCH UP!! LOL! Naw, glad to see that u've been busy! I'm on the virge of getting some wheels but it looks like they are not gonna happen. My car is lowered and from the offset, its goona rub. Especially on a hard corner. So ya, looks like back to the drawing boards for me. I may meet up with the seller tomorrow to swap wheels to see how much room I have before they rub.. but chances are they are gonna rub. So what all did u do to ur S at Spugen? Man I want wheels soooooooo bad but I'm soooooooo PICKY! Well, i'm sure my patience will be rewarded soon enough. Hope ur weekend was nice! Now go spend some time with Mrs. Oatnet! Talk to u soon JD!

 

JD that looks like a bigger sway bar right? When did you get that on? I didn't see any JD write ups!

 

torrance crew represent!

 

can you post more pics of the white s2k getting the supercharger? btw nice pics overall!

 

yo jd what time did you end up leaving? i just got back from ray's house (rsaeini)... havin' the car dumped that low was not a comfortable ride so we took everything apart and raised the koni's back to stock height... car still looks hella clean w/ the espelir drop... i'll get pics up when the rain lets up and i have a chance to wash her...

paul

BTW - thanks for getting pics of her dumped to the ground .... we forgot to take pics before we started working today

 

Hey Peter!

What I did mostly at Spugen was WAIT - here is what they did for me:

Swap spugen center pipe with OEM resonator (didn't help as much as yours)
Stainless Steel Comptech/Goodrich brake lines + ATE SuperBlue
Stainless Steel Comptech/Goodrich clutch line + ATE SuperBlue
Muz Whiteline Sway bar install
Differential fluid - Honda OEM
Tranny fluid - Honda OEM

And I put on the Whiteline STB yesterday, so now I have the whiteline sway STB, and Cross brace - hopefully made to work together!


Wow, you picked that up from the picture? You are correct - but you are reading the write up right here and now. The OEM sway is 8.8 lbs, and the whiteline is 19lbs so a 10lb gain but MUCH thicker. I haven't had a chance to throw it around yet and see how it feels.

Hey Jimmy!

Thanks! If the car's owner approves, I have a few more - I don't know if he is trying to be under cover or whatever... It was cool to watch it go on, I think Duc said this was the 6th weekend in a row they were doing an install.

Hey Paul! Dude, I was there until AFTER 4:00 I couldn't believe it. First in, other than the S/C last out. I have full sized originals of those pics if you want them someday. That was so slammed, we were all watching you pull out of the driveway looking for sparks glad you bumped it back up some, how do you like it now? You still need to do yourself a favor and get that cross brace!

PS Paul here is one more pic, yer NEW JDM HEADLIGHTS!

Hey oatnet...........That's my 2004 GPW getting the comptech supercharger installed. Feel free to post as many pics as you want of the install. I would like to see them. I had to work all day so Webstore took my car in for me. Thank's Greg.

 

Hey Oatnet,
