Depending on the day you pick I'm in. I don't have any mods at the moment to do. I think I might just need to change fluids. It has been awhile since I changed the diff fluid. It will be nice just to come and help out.

Date: May 17th
Time: 9am - whenever
Location: My house, it's right behind Crossgates mall
My garage is pretty much a revolving door for s2000s and cars/bikes in general. Weather I own them or I'm doing work for other people I've obtained a lot of knowledge and know-how about our cars.
I realize not everyone on here has a garage, a lift, or even tools to work on their own car. I'm lucky enough to have a garage and lift and I'm thinking of opening up shop to you guys for a day. Just a day to hang out and do simple mods. We can get 1 car on the lift and one on jack stands side by side, get everyone to chip in and hopefully learn a thing or two along the way, while doing some work on the cars we own and love. No tops installs, supercharger or clutch installs this day, lets try to keep it to mods that should take 1-1.5 hours (exhaust, brakes, air intake, sway bars etc) so we can get everyone in. Don't have a mod in mind? Come over and change your engine/diff/trans fluid and hang out! I think i'm pretty central to everyone, location wise, so hopefully this will work out well.
I'm posting this now for a couple reasons.
1- to gain interest
2- so you guys can order up those mod parts and have them ready come may!

This is a great idea and I will vouch for the young lads ability to fix / mod an S2000. Sadly I will probably out of town racing at one of the many tracks on the NEDiv schedule in 2014.
The master Mechanic and his little helper hard at work on the #59.

UPDATE - the #59 race car was removed from Jake's garage on 3/16 - just 39 days after we started. Here is a sneak peak on what to expect this year !!

My many s2000 mods started at Jake's S2KI Garage in Jammin January and are still going strong in Fabrication February, and will most likely be done by Modifying March.
I can't give away all my secrets but here is a preview of things to come in 2014.......Paul and Jake know the rest of the mods but they are sworn to secrecy.
Paul's suggestion being put into action.

Christmas Present to me ...I couldn't stop myself.

She was due for a make over as evidenced by all the seized, corroded, rusted parts in the A-Arms.
Paul is heading down a similar path.
