What do you think of the result? I'm in love again.
I do not think you ever stopped being in love with your Nob even when it had the scratch and the swirl marks

True that Chris . I was just frustrated and didn't even want to wash it. I felt better when I didn't see all the imperfections. Now I have to wear sunglasses when I apporach the Nob .

I had a spirited run yesterday with the Nob and then I said it and my fiancee goodbye until Sunday evening. It was very warm in Finland at this time of year (+21 degrees). I love the new induction sound! Off to Amsterdam now. I'm going to meet a fellow S2000 owner in there. It's a business trip at this time.

It looks Stunning Tommi, I hope mine looks that good when I put it all back together. Hopefully I should have the Flashpro unlocked from my car Xmas time and if you still want it I'll send you my heat shield at the same time.

Thanks Glen, I like it very much now. I can enjoy driving the Nob only about month before the winter . We've already had sub zero temperatures in night-time. I'll wait for your FlashPro and heat shield.

I still compare all S2000's to this one! Seeing it with those wheels when it was in the UK - stunning! Looks awesome mate!

Thanks PG. It's the blackest car in my hometown nowadays . I agree, the Volks really complement the car.

Guys and gals, I need a piece of advice. My car feels quite wobbly when cornering. I noticed that the offside rear tyre has worn from the outer edge! When you look at the car from the rear, the camber seems to be normally negative. This maybe a coincidence but the wobbling has increased since I had a slight touch down when exiting a ferry at very slow speed. I stopped immediately and nothing seemed to be wrong under the car. I have noticed that the offside rear wheel gets a bit hotter than other wheels after a drive. Could it be wheel bearing, bent arm, the rear alignment out of spec, sticking caliper or what? I know, I'll have to lift my car and investigate but I just wanted to consult you guys first. I guess that I'll notice nothing I need to take my car to a workshop.

Definatley the alignment is out, sounds like a bent control arm and a sticking caliper..does the tyre get hot or the actual alloy - if later its the caliper.
Good luck!
