we had the car on four jack stands and with jeff's jacks we have to "step" the car down by useing two diferent jacks - so one jack for fully extended and the other was on the frt center jack point - lowered the car but as i know the car rolled foward, the "extened" jack was not removed far enough so when the car came down it hit the section right by the fake air intake on the nose - great thing is that the lip will cover the indent left by the jack

i felt aweful cause this s was clean and we were all done with the work - accidents happen and i think i was more mad than simplypinoyy - (stand up guy) ~

heck i'm still modding S2000s

Many thanks Erin and Jeff for hosting this event. What a perfect day for a ride and good company.
Looks like you were riding alone!

Rick and I were VERY impressed with your "merge" onto the highway. Left us in the dust!!!

Someone is enjoying the SC, it seems.

Awesome tech day Jeff and Erin, thanks for your hospitality. I had a great time wrenching (and grinding) on the cars and was glad to meet a few new faces. I can't wait for the next get-together. For the last 3 weeks my S2000 has been my daily driver and as a consequence I felt it lost a little bit of the, "specialness" it possessed when I only drove it on perfect days. Your tech day definitely helped remind me of why I bought the car in the first place. Thanks!

OMG.....

Eric can attest too.....When the three of us made our way to the autoparts store for some hose and bolts....we parked next to these two hard core guys (leather, nose ring, kind of Harley/Punk fusion) working on their Vespas. One was black, and had those punk type skulls painted all over it.

They were just getting mobile when we were in the store. All the clerks and customers, us included, were lined up at the front of the store looking out the window as they made a slow pass by the store. Lots of :thumbsup: were exchanged......
