Default S2000 trackdays and towing hooks ?!?

Have decided (possibly against my better judgment) to take the S2000 tomorrow instead of the CRX / Prelude. I say this as still not 100% with the car against the other 2.

Bookatrack events usually insist that towing hooks are fitted before going out on track, has anyone actually done this ??

Assume it is a case of just popping off the covers and screwing them in ??

Hopefully I will have a good time in the S anyway and the Spoon N1 will sound great !!

Simon

Yes it's easy. You'll need to fit the extension onto the eye before you screw it in though otherwise it won't reach.

Be sure that they don't tow you too far (Diff) in the hopefully unlikely event of an off. Unless of course you've already written off the car

Did that at Donington last time we were there, just unpop the cover and screw in the eye.

A tip though, either take the cover off altogether (which I did) or gaffer tape it to the bumper - the little plastic thing which it hangs on is a bit flimsy and tends to come off.
