In your opinion...

Ok so initial review of the Nitrons...

First impressions on the road are that they are superb!

Much more compliant than my Tein Monoflex. The springs are very firm, as the rates are quite high, so the car stays very flat but because of the excellent damping the ride is very smooth. They are set to medium damping at the moment and should easily have enough adjustment for even the smoothest track.

Only driven it on motroways and the EPS issue spoiled any roundabout fun on the way home.

Will update in a few weeks when I can use it again

Booked into Honda to get the EPS codes. Think I have a sticky front caliper too

It looks like a bloody carriage with those sills. I'm half expecting that you have a butler wearing white gloves who opens the door and escorts sir to his abode.

Looks fantastic! Ride height has changed it for the better and I'm sure it's transformed the handling too!

With the wheels, wing and a top secret diffuser it would be one of the best!

Also downforce side diffuser's would go with that front perfectly!

Looks good MB

When I had an issue with my EPS, I got the code read and it said 'fail safe relay stuck on', so I tw@tted the EPS unit (gold showa unit in the engine bay) with a screwdriver...problem solved

Are you going to do something about the numberplate, Mark? I'd be looking at a stick on numplerlate, like PJL's car.

And what's with the numberplate blanking? Who on earth is going to superglue a step around the sills of their S2000 in order to properly clone your car?

The sills have been on there since I bought the car, and before that - I can't see why there is such excitement about it now tbh? As I mentioned earlier, it's going to be used on track so I really don't care what it looks like. But I can say it would look very odd without them and the J's bumper still on.

I'm more interested in the shiny new coilovers tbh!

R8, cheers. Got some wheels coming soon I think and picked up some rear A048s today.

Hi Lotfy, I was reading your threaqd earlier. DMS swapped the EPS ECU out with a spare but no luck. Didn't have time to investigate much more though. Honda charge £25 for the codes and resetting the system. It does seem to be intermittent, which is annoying! Hopefully (probably) something i've tweaked when I took all the amplifier out...
