That was what I meant by upgraded rotary...the rotary has been upgraded to something with more power, better reliability, better gas mileage, and better sound. Stock LS1 is in it right now. Put down 340 rwhp on the same dyno that my s2000 put down 422. This car has more torque than my s2000 did though.

Snowy day on my first day owning it is torture though.

New project:


Rotary upgraded, racing brake 2-piece rotors, painted ferrari red, tein coilovers, clean all over. Needs new seats and a few interior bits to look showroom. This is the new home for the BBS RGR that I picked up.
I knew you got the red dragon. Nice choice of car, Jason. I can't wait to see it in the track.

Nice car! With an LS1 that is one scary sportscar. I like how it looks completely stock on the outside.

If you want to you can always generate some RX-7 how-to's or the very least a review of how a V8 Gen 3 RX-7 drives and I'll post it to the RX-7 website.

I was waiting for you Skip. This needs to be dealt with by the proper authorities. The prosecution shall begin next weekend.

75 and sunny is my forecast.
Prosecution??

Well, I am signed up for DE1 next weekend. Am I going to be the only DE1 in an S2000?

Jason, the new car is awesome! What are your plans for it?

PCA's track day 10/29 at Summit was snowed out, they plowed the track and then the trees started falling on it. Skid pad was open though.

The Chute from turn 8 at 9:45am yesterday

I'm not sure if this is the best thread for me to ask in, but if anyone knows suspesnion setups for SP Main it would be the people here.

1. Can any other KW Variant 3 users share their settings with me?
Ride height (I saw the picture one person posted showing a good ride height which was helpful thank you, but any measurement numbers would be helpful)
bump, rebound etc...

I do believe there is no one setup that will be perfect for everyone, but I'd still like the input

2. Assuming a car is neutral, does raising the rear ONLY add or reduce oversteer? I've been trying to search and it appears it would increase oversteer, but want to make sure the theory applies to the s2k specifically.
