Honda Challenge only allows splitters up to 1.5". I will have a spare one that is 2.5" for Time Trials if it proves to be effective.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that measurement is how for the splitter extends passed the OEM bodywork and NOT a thickness.

Dan, I'm happy to see this. The HC1 guys are a good bunch and fun to be around. A couple of fast S2000s out there. I'm sure you'll be up to speed in no time.

See you at the track.

Let's see a random recent pic of the car?

No power mods except for header back exhaust but I will be adding in apexi neo to lower vtech engagement because right now its killer having to weight so long for vtech.
