I agree.... Just picked it up less than a month ago. Next mods are (possibly) an OEM front lip, an APR front splitter, Downforce side splitters, and (if it will fit) an APR rear diffuser. Then onto performance!

As for the side topic that has developed.... My one example is this:

I could lower my car more (actually spent two days at the shop determining the optimal ride height and camber settings per my requirements) but that would mean I would wear out my DD's tires at record pace on and off the track (245/40 Star Specs all around = 2.1/2.6 camber front to rear respectively as it sits now) as well as rubbing on every bump, incline, dip, or any other crap these poorly maintained Oklahoma roads throw at me everyday (even after rolling the rear fenders and modifying the front's lining tabs). Going to low also throws off the suspension geometry, and since I am directly competing with a boosted S2K, I need every advantage I can get to close the gap.

I captured (minus the rolling shots of me, ) and posted these photos as well as others in the past because I enjoy sharing the experience with others. I personally could care less about views or comments. We have a great S2K crew here in Oklahoma and I feel the site (beyond our sub forum) wouldn't mind seeing it.

BTW, thanks for the compliments on the photos and the cars!

(off topic)

I made 300hp and 250ftlbs today!!! Same HP, but 15 more ftlbs. Should be a little better at the track.

(on topic)

Thanks again for the comments!

I just don't get it.
what a cry baby..
one, get off your high horse and quit thinking that your car is so bad ass just because you have a greddy kit and some te37's with a mugen rep front lip, how old are you??
being "scraping" low isnt some thing a random person does to be cool. you do it because you like it and you have to take a lot of precautions when your that low. running camber only means that you just want to sit flush..if you dont like it then dont do it and dont talk shit about it either. but i do agree with you about how stupid it is to run crazy ass camber.
get some better fiting wheels then post up pictures. dont get me wrong, u got a good looking car but its just not my style.

if your in desperate need of attention then go post in honda-tech or ok-speed. they will give you alot of attention

Flush and low is one thing... Last time I check when we were at Eurosport, we went almost -3 (that not crazy camber to VIP cars), but it was all about performance for autox. The attempt was try to get the best usage and performance of the tires... Some how we got side track here... Between us I don't think we were going for slam, flush, or what nots... Granted in other people eyes it might be a hella-flush thing. If that was the case, we would of ran stretch tires and go the whole nine yards.


ps. Not trying to stomp on anyone toes, but please keep it clean.

What a douchebag little kid...

First off you little shit, when the hell have I been acting like I am on a high horse and thinking I am better than everyone else or that my car is more "bad ass" than anyone elses?

It clearly states that I'm "not hating" in that quote, which means that I'm not dogging it, it's just not my thing. Then you try and bash on my car about my wheels fitting? My wheels fit just fine... no wait, they don't fit that well because I need my fenders rolled because my car has less than a finger's worth of gap. HMMM, maybe I know that there are certain precautions to being that low...

And please kid, the only one that needs to grow up is you. As stated, I'm not looking for attention. I was pointing out the fact that our post was not getting any veiws or comments like the others do because of how the trends and fads are now a days and we don't fall into it. I couldn't care less what others think because I built my car to be a racing car. I couldn't care even more less than your opinion. You've just summed up how these cars are getting cheaper and kids are buying them up.

if your not hating then why post your comment about how you dont get enough views or comments? does everyone have to comment on every s2000 that is posted on this forum? yeah you might not be hating but you seem a little butt hurt to me.

here ill answer why noone comments on these cars. it looks like every other s2000 with a drop and wheels. your car looks like every other s2k with a set of wheels. your interior looks like every other s2k with a set of gauges.
