yeah that's pretty crazy man...I don't know anyone else who has had the same exact cars as me LOL. I don't see how you can get jealous when you have an NSX man

I do hope to see you in another S2000 at some point though!

After seeing the damage to the paint when I removed the tape on my first S2000, I will not be removing it on this S2000. I have, over time, learned to like the black windshield frame just as much as a color-matched windshield frame.

So I ordered some small stuff for the S last week, and I'm still waiting for more to arrive. Today all of these showed up!

I will be doing the rotors silver while the calipers will be black. I also picked up a set of OEM Honda caps for my RPF1's. I will be going out to buy matte black paint to match the center caps to the wheels.

I installed the Modifry elastic straps which are just awesome...I still have to sand down the center caps and paint them matte black and I still need to do do the calipers and rotors. I hate hate hate looking at rusty car parts...

Also attended my 2nd autox event in the S yesterday, it was a blast! Besides my face being burnt red now :/

I placed 3rd in my STR class too, not too bad I guess for my 2nd time out.

I was understeering a little bit on some parts of the course, any tips to reduce it?

One of my good friends came to hang for a bit during my first autox a few weeks ago, he snapped some pics that day...
