Now that is DEDICATION! You gotta love the extra horsepower too...every year I just about forget how a 40 degree temperature drop REALLY helps. Of course I have no traction on my SO2's in the cold

Get the Hondata insulator if you want that cold "feel" every day. I have a few left if you are interested.

I used to go top-down until somewhere around 45F. Below that it was too cold to keep functionality of my knuckles... not to mention the snot became difficult to manage.

This may not work for everyone -- but if you feel like you're getting sick w/ that itchy throat & fatigue feeling, take 2 shots of tequila. Sure fire way to get rid of the cold/flu. I don't know how it works, but the last 4 out of 5 times, I managed to avoid getting sick the next day (with lots of rest of course).

Good luck

I'll be topless tonight too

I've heard from a couple folks that the Delrin material expands and contracts too much causing the intake to loosen...??? What have your heard about the NextGear gasket?

I don't have an S2000 yet, but my Yamaha FJR 1300 definitely likes the denser air and pulls like a monster. Mmmm, land rocket for teh win.
