Have you polished a header before? I don't think it'll be too bad man.

Are you having S~Factor do your hood? Which vents are you doing? I thought about going for both sides, but decided on just the passenger side for now

Alright guys, lately I've been thinking about wanting to go wider up front. Today I took my 17x9 +45's off the rear of my car, and test fitted them on the front to see what the fitment would be like. The tire was rubbing on the fender when it was at full lock around turns, so I would need to raise my car up if I wanted to go x9 +45 in the front. I will probably run a 235/40 tire just to be safe on my fenders. Here's pics of the test fit. Do you guys think I should just stick with my x8 +45 215/45 up front or go x9 +45 235/40?

So recently I've been looking into parts that would benefit me during hard driving and auto-x and decided to go with this Ingalls ETD. I love the location that this damper mounts to, I also like the fact that I don't have to modify the heat shield or fuse box bracket. I think this is probably the best ETD kit out there

I will not install it yet, as I want to get the 2 large mounting brackets powder coated gloss or semi-gloss back to blend in with the engine bay better. I will be sending out the brackets to a local powder coater in a few days so stay tuned for the finished product

One day last week I was browsing Instagram, and came across a picture of an S2000 interior that had a red H on the steering wheel. Since they just did the update I was able to message the guy on IG and ask him how he got the red H emblem on his wheel. I have always been a fan of the red H's He gave me a link to where he bought it, so I had to pick one up!

I'm honestly not sure if this is a "real" piece or not, but when it's something this small I could careless. Now when it comes to wheels and bumpers, authentic is the only way I'd go

This piece comes with double-sided tape on the back, so I guess you could just stick it to the existing emblem, but I plan on removing the chrome H on the steering wheel then I will install this one for a more "flush" look!

I havent done a header, but i wet sanded an entire car, and tried my hand at polishing some rims, and i quickly came tot he conclusion after starting both of them that i have absolutely no patience for those things lol.

Yeah i am going to S-Factor, i'm going to do the 2 top vents on each side, i was going to do all three on each but ive since decided on the 4 tops only after seeing a few that have had it done.

Chris definitely run 9 up front witb 235 40. Very little stretch. Look at my insagram of my bbs I had 235 on 9 up front. As for emblem you cannot remove chrome H as its riveted on the inside of the airbag. The red emblem has a recess on back of it so it sits flush no gaps. Chris if possible can you take pics of your intake hoses so I can see how the re route goes? Did all.the hoses come.with the intake or did you buy your own.?
