Hi there, I'm from the netherlands ( europe ) and i bought myself 2 weeks ago a Silverstone grey S2000! It has about 50.000 miles on it and a hardtop!

I previously owned a '98 Integra R which i drove for 3 years and sold it to buy the S...

I'm very happy with the S only a small complaint is that it has much oversteer at stock settings so i'm planning to go wider tires next summer.

Already ordered a Megan testpipe and Invidia catback..

learned already lots of new stuff on this forum and i'm already checking the topics everyday

Hey Dutchy

What tires do you have now?
Brand, sizes, etc...
Also a "UK-spec" allignment may solve some handling issues.

Just asking.. do you live in Noord-Holland?

Hey Nyther! You got the fastest color!

Good to see a fellow Dutchman on the boards, there don't seem to be very many of them (I think i've only seen 3 others, including me and SpitfireS). I'm living in the US until 2007, but if we could get a few Dutch owners together I'd love to meet up sometime when I'm back.

Hey guys, im running 205/225 stock setup right know and it a very tricky car with oversteer right now! My ITR was faster in corners comparing to the OEM S2k...

There are yokohama tires on them but i want to change them to bridgestone potenza's if i get new 17 inch wheels...

Whats the UK-spec alignment?

Living in Maastricht...

The Yokohamas are likely your problem. The stock tire sizes don't actually work perfectly unless you're using the OEM tire (Bridgestone S02). The S02 rear is wider in tread cross-section than other 225s.

So, you're essentially under width in the rear.

Anyway, Nyther, welcome to the site, and congrats on your S. Your Teg was quite impressive, but I'm sure you'll love the S once you've put the right rubber on it.
