Don't listen to them. Some of us seem to be able to stay in A-Stock just fine (being poor helps).

I may have a saner bar for sale soon.

See that marks_lude? Even the guy encouraging you to stay stock is trying to sell you a mod! We UMW bunch are a bad, bad influence....in a good way though.

If that's all you want to mod your car, stay away from the UMW group. We are hazardous to your financial health!!!

you told me that a year ago.


me on the other hand, i have a saner bar but unless i trade my car in for something other then a new S i'm keeping it.
i also got some a stock rims that you might be interested in.
peer pressure from the UMW is soft.

I think ill be pretty good about sticking to an A Stock build. I had tons of plans for my prelude, but stuck to a DSP build resisting my temptations because im too worried about being in a competitive class. if i meet up with some of you in the minneapolis areas who have a forced induction S, take me for a ride and maybe ill be swayed! haha

my car will be up her in about a month, but may sit until spring since the weather is quite cold here now. ill keep an eye open around this forum for any local stuff going on.

nice videos, you drive like me on the autocross course. I had crappy rear tires and kept drifting and spinning out last year. Alot of the guys I race with that have s2000's say to get a front lower cross bar to help with the cars tendency to oversteer. If you would like to make an 8 hour cruise for the weekend down this way to milwaukee, there are about 2 to 3 races a month in the area. (www.scca-milwaukee.org) (www.tsscc.org) (www.waiautox.org) Welcome to the area.
