Update,
Parts are starting to come in for the project. The great Guys @ Performance Shock Inc (www.performanceshock.com) helped us out with a new set of Ohlins TTX shocks that PSI custom builds for the S2000. Rylan found a good pair of the billet upper control arms from another S2ki member. We are also working on our own new designed rear hubs, Rylan had broken a couple pair on his old race car. We are going to put this car together with just new OEM hubs, but are working on some new stronger ones before the Run Offs. The gearbox is in customs in LA and should clear on Friday, hopefully we will see it the first of next week. Cheers, Shad

Good stuff.

I am finding the Ohlins don't need as much spring as the Motons did.

Are you shooting for the Thill Nationals second weekend of March?

Update,
The trans is still in customs in LA waiting to be released, hopefully soon. Got the shock tops and springs from Ground Control around the corner. I will have to machine some spacers for everything to work properly. Got the trunk hinges drilled out and the trunk fit. Got all of the uprights built with new bearings, hubs and ARP wheel studs. Wheels showed up and all the suspension arms got sent off to Asura for mono-ball install. Cheers, Shad
