Default New S2K owner in Scotland

Hi everyone - so following my initial post in the big introduction section, I've finally got my S2K in Moonrock.

It's definitely a different world from my Civic Type R (which I traded in) but I love it.

Me being me, I can't help but fidget with stuff and to that end I've already changed the OEM exhaust for
the J's racing 60RS stainless steel single exit (bumper cover on its way from Heeltoe) and I've changed the gearknob
to the Skunk2 version which feels alot nicer to shift with. Next on the list is coilovers and geometry set up.

Anyhoo, look forward to posting up more pics and progress as more work is done on the car.

On this rare day off that I had, I took time to clean, clay, polish and wax the car properly and it shows. I'm very
happy with the results:

Have you signed up for the Arran trip yet?

thanks for the kind comments guys. eSem, sorry mate but I'm not sure if I will be here still. I'm currently trying to sell my house to move south where the work is.

Still be up a few times during the year though.

If there are any meets happening before July in Scotland, you can count me in. Would love to meet other S2K owners - not many around my neck of the woods (which isn't a bad thing).

Don't come as far south as the West Country, no work here. Unless you fancy summer off doing some great roads.

I was brought up in Saltcoats/Ardrossan but I moved South quite a few years ago.

For the past 8 years there has been the meet on the isle of Arran, arranged by Roadkill who lives there, and it is always a good excuse to drive up home.

Definitely gbduo. Will look you up when I move down.

eSeM - if I'm still here I will put my name down for the Arran meet. It would be lovely to meet you guys especially in such a nice place.
