Cheers all and Mark thanks for the link wil lgive them a shout.

Gadaffi I know what you are saying but to put the power into context my other ride is a 400bhp Monaro which happily has 400ft/lb of torque so more than used to cars with power on the exit, I'm putting it more down to my gear selection, I notice now instead of thinking I should be in 2nd I can use 3rd instead. The roads were a tad cold/greasy last night compared to wet today (where the car has handled much better probably as a result of it not being the greasy type coating an my getting used to it).

I think obviously aside from the power comparrison with the other car is the way in which the chassis setup is a lot tighter so I will get a lot more communication from this than my other ride.

And yes, bitten by the mozzy!

 

My S2000 was very twitchy bordering dangerous.....I thought thats just how they were which I was dissapointed about until coming to these boards.
After a little reading on handling I had the car professionally set up by a GEO specialist to find that my GEO was all over the place and the main cause of my poor handling!!
Get the GEO checked best thing I ever did you might even be more surprised by its abilities!!
Its fantastic now like a go-cart and sticks like glue!!

 

Just curious, and not trying to sound stupid but what is "GEO"? Does this mean Geometry and how do you have it checked?

 

Geo is geometry, and try www.alignmycar.co.uk for a place near you, unless you are in Norfolk, Virginia (as I guess you might be given your name, and car colour), in which case you may be better off asking in your local forum.

 

Yes it is Norfolk, VA... I have plenty of UK friends on Xbox360, and love the language accent so I thought I would read some UK threads and hang out for a bit. I really like the OP, made me feel all giddy like a was gonna be driving my car for the first time again.

 

Well, you're very welcome, especially as you don't write in txtspk like so many of your countrymen

The OP has written an excellent summary of the S2000.

I hope you understand what a "wally" is

 

 

I'm learning....

wally

noun
a silly and inept person; someone who is regarded as stupid

 

I like my Nick Graves quote in my sig best

And Mr. Nick Graves is a famous local celebrity.
You'll see him on the UK forum from time-to-time.



"Nick Graves: You'll find the septics also drive on the pavement and not the road and think the front wing is a fender, which we think is a guitar."

Do you know what a 'septic' is though?

 

Hmm well I'm going to put this in my terms, from reading the definition in the dictionary and reading your quote I'm guessing it to be in my terms a dumbass or your terms a wally. This is going to be fun....
