S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

I'm going to go with your suggestion and get new springs and retainers. I'm actually glad you brought it to my attention. Which ones do you suggest and why? Looking around here, people first were saying supertech and now Ferrea.

The engine builders that I converse with prefer Ferrea over Supertech.

The Ferrea came in today. For the BC Stage 2s they suggested the beehive springs with the titanium retainers.

It's been a while but I finally got to installing a few things. I was trying to group things a little bit so I could do less trips to the garage and body shop.

You can't really tell, but I got a few things done to the engine(thanks Josh at Evasive for helping me out):
Mugen Intake...check
Mugen Header...check
Mugen thermostat...check
Mugen oil and radiator caps...check
Mugen coil cover...check
Mugen dress up bolts...check
ASM cooling plate...check
ASM coolant overflow tank...check
Samco radiator hose kit...check
BC Stage 2 cams...check
Ferrea springs, retainers, etc...check
Cusco carbon fiber strut bar...check




For the interior I did a few things as well.

I installed the hardtop locks from heeltoe:


My Mugen pedals:


And my daily Mugen shift knob:



A few things were done to the exterior

I had some ASM side diffusers put in. I really like them because they are super subtle. Just waiting on my WASP front splitter and JDP rear diffuser.


And the GPs have finally been mounted on some Michelins:




Tomorrow is my tune with Church. I was hoping to get it the coilovers and suspension put in because of the Eibach meet, but I'm just going to wait until I get everything so it can just be done in one shot.

Thoughts on the HT locks?

To be honest... I like the peace of mind and the fact that they are so easy to put on, but I don't like how they don't sit flush, and how you have to jiggle it around to lock it.

Went here:



Got this:



Shaun said that if I replaced the Berk HFC with a TP, I could get another 10-15 HP and more mid range power because he can drop VTEC to around 4000.

That whole mid-range will pickup with a test pipe. My engine is losing power.
