Car #579 checking in. Does Honda mark all the suspension bolts on a brand new S2000CR? I just looked under the car and I found the rear sub frame is marked with a white lettering "A8." I inspected the front and rear suspension bolts and they all have either a white or yellow lines markings across the bolts (even the front brake caliper bolts have these markings.) I wonder if Honda mark these bolts for alignment or torque specs.? Do you guys notice the same thing on your brand new car? I thought I would only see these markings on a crashed car or on a race car at an alignment shop. Hm...
There were two brand new CRs at the dealership and I test drove both of them. The one that I picked and purchased, the suspension didn't feel as crisp as the other one, but the engine seems to be stronger. My question is that would the tolerances of the manufactured parts or a slightly difference on the alignment specs cause this difference? To further describe the suspension feeling, my car requires a slightly more steering effort than the other one. My car feels more stable, but the suspension doesn't response as crisp/sharp as the other one. Care to share your thoughts?

I'm working on it.....I'll know in the next few days 
On a side note...
How many apex blue people are out there... I want them to make a keyhole cover for me but I need 5 people to have them make it..
Any interet?
JS2k.com is having a groupbuy.... I have these on my berlina, had them on my NFR, and of course, I want them on this car (if I end up getting one).

Has anyone found a 1:18 diecast model of the CR?
I did, however, finally get my hands on the apex blue CR poster from the Honda dealer last night...
