I do that anyway just for the sake of comfort. I guess I've got too much stuff in my wallet. Not money, just stuff...



for some reason i had 3 starbucks cards in my wallet... checked.. 2 have 0 balance so I definitely get the "stuff", not cash.
I acutally am looking at bill folds so I can force myself to eliminate the excess crap out of my wallet..

I got to drive it a lot harder yesterday, and what I feel is that on high speed corners the car feels a lot more planted, but in low speed to mid speed corners, the back end bounces around a lot. I notices this a couple of weeks ago with the RE070 and yesterday it was better but still there with Sumitomo HTR Z III. The track I was on is TWS, an old track with some bumps all around it. Gave a couple of rides and they noticed it also.

Next weekend is Harris Hills, a new track, much smoother, so we will see how it goes there.

I have some Swift sway bars from my 02, so I might change them and see what happens, I'll be back to TWS the first weekend in Dec.

Now I need to find some CR wheels to get a track setup going.

hey guys, let me post his question for you:

Aside from the interior (Seats, door panels, etc) do you think it's feasible to convert a normal s2000 to CR spec?

Obviously you need the front spoiler, rear wing. What other items will I need for an authentic swap?

Suspension will be KWV3's so I don't plan on using the stock exhaust or suspension from the CR anyways.

You'd be better off painting a non-GPW CR white (if that's what kept you from getting a CR).

I feel that the stock CR shocks are underdamped....

he wanted to make sure they were in spec. common practice for people wanting to get the most out of their cars.
