Had fun with a little videoshoot with our meet today in East San Jose. User Zygrene is currently making an awesome review video with a few S2K's including my own. Here are some shots from today:

Been a while since the last update. I made the jump to get some Volk CE28ns, and had a hard time deciding if I should sell the CR wheels or not. I decided the CR wheels had to go since it would just be sitting there and someone should go ahead and enjoy them. Sold them to a buyer on CL, who will put it on his MY2000 AP1 Silverstone. I think the wheels will look great on that
Anyways, my new volks! Fronts are 17x7.5 +50, rears are 17x8.5. Tires that came with it were Continental DWS Max Performance All-seasons, which I used recently on Thunderhill West for a track day. They were OK...but I felt my RS3s which were on the CR wheels performed much better in high speed corners. I do love how the volks make the car accelerate a lot better, with less rotational mass to move. The CR wheels are quite heavy, and these CE28s are amazing. Some pics:
Next up, I went ahead and purchased a brand new CR lip....30000+ miles and a lot of mountain runs and track days took its toll on it. Went ahead and replaced the lip, and hopefully the new lip will last a bit longer....haha
Barely fit the CR lip in my wife's Honda Fit

The old lip was pretty torn up...it got scratched a lot when I lowered the car too much in 2015. I raised it another half-inch now and there shouldn't be as big of problem this time.
And finally some pics in the recent weeks and the track day. Enjoy!
