BTW are you going to bring your hardtop to the meeting? I'd love to see a silver one with the hardtop. Give Pam ideas for my Christmas present....
Sorry! I've been so busy with the better half and showing my brother the motor (Car Connoisseur) I haven't had chance to play with the hard top kit or the CD changer, The only good news is I have the clear indicators fitted and the CM dead pedal etc. bolted on.

See you all tomorrow - another long but very enjoyable day- Chris B

That first drive description brought back memories.

And all the fun of taking a new car apart & adding your personal stuff!

Enjoy!

As far as the lack of torque goes, for a NA engine the S2000 is fine. Though I did prefer the power/torque curves on my ITR. I'm already thinking about a tweak or two to make things a little more even on the torque spread.

Also, it could have been my ears after spending Saturday at Rockingham, but it sounded like you'd hit Vtec when we all turned round on Sunday. Obviously someone else's exhaust reflecting off the, erm, hedges?

Have fun.

VTEC - moi?

570 miles on the clock when I got to the Old George.... 1200 now. Sheesh, at this rate I'll be doing 60k miles per year

I've taken this week off work to get better aquainted with the car. I am soooo impressed with the build quality! Even after my stripping the cockpit and boot bare to fit the hardtop and CD changer there are still no squeeks or rattles.

Incredible car, I am so happy to own one.

Ive been desperately trying to source a hat, the best I can find is a Castrol Honda one from the castrol honda website which isnt that great, an S2000 bobby would be great but all I can find is baseball caps which wont keep the old ears warm on a crisp winters morn

hehe.. I love baseball caps but I've lost 2 when the wind gets under the peak at about 80mph Your Honda dealer should be able to get you a woolly one no probs. It's the only thing in the winter believe me! And they look so good!

Problem solved: the Kangol outlet shop at Cheshire Oaks!! 100's of silly hats to choose from!

I was torn between a very silly plush red cap with ear flaps, a bobble hat with 2' long ear flaps or a red fleech beanie.

The beanie won together with a fleece scarf. Sorted.

Check it out, well worth the trip!
