I am officially in love. Went to my first event this morning and got to meet Dave, Josh, and Marc/k today and had an absolute blast... I definitely need new tires and brakes but that is such a rush and very addicting. I was not able to get any action shots today unfortunately

 

Great meeting you guys! It was a very hot event so my socializing skills were lacking. Let us know if you need any help with your setup or driving instruction! Love seeing new faces out and even more another S2000 owner. I'm partial to the 04-05 AP2 because it was my first S2000!

BTW, I still don't know how you fit in the car, your what ... 6'8"

You're in love with Marc? He is good looking, but I'm not sure you're his type....



Welcome to the addiction! Prepare to be poor.

 

autocross version? i prefer trackday version, but congrats either way

sweet, you can see me in the still shot before the second video.

no im more into the blonde hair well endowed kinda people, sorry Marc, I dont think you meet those two criteria.

and I dont mind Track day either. I want to do that as well. Ik Gingerman up in Michigan is not to far of a drive from school so that may be a possibility.

Yes I went home and immediately laid out what purchases need to happen next
1. Upgrade brakes with Centric rotors and oem pads
2. upgrade rims and/or get hankook rs-3's
3. Upgrade I/H/E
3. Work on suspension tuning...


Thats a lot of money right there that I dont have yet lol

 

And yes Im 6'8"-6'9" lol can I claim the title as tallest s2000 owner? lol

 

Upgrade driver before you upgrade car. The best time and money spent will be on improving the driver.
Its also easiest to improve the driver the more stock the car is. Sticky tires will hide mistakes, as you times will improve tremendously. Shocks/springs will confuse you, and you will lose time that should have been spent improving the driver.

My $0.02
I have a sneaking suspicion Marc would agree as well.

 

Yeah thats a good point but one thing I do know is that my rotors and pads are shot and my front tires are starting to bald lol... I cant wait to go again though. any good literature that you guys have read that helped you guys?

 

and just realized that my autotype corrected "Virgen" to "Version" lol damn pc auto correct.
