Very nice, any particular reason for going 1.5?? I know you'll go into depth on this later but I still figured I would ask. Oh yeah, get the bumper on right now, a teaser will do.
I just registered to say thanks for putting this thread together. I happened upon it while looking for yoututbe reviews on the Ohlins DFVs. Found your togue video when you first had them on, which googling your Youtube handle brought me to this thread. Then it took me 2 weeks to read through this thread. Appreciate the time and methods you have used to achieve what is important to you. I have been lurking on s2ki for nearly 3 years, and finally last year I made the goal of saving for an AP2. I like to buy my cars cash. I just hit my goal, which should put me into low mileage 06 to high mileage 08 prices. Just waiting for the perfect one to pop up for sale. Again thanks for the thread and I look forward to becoming part of the community, hopefully soon.

Thanks for the info Andrew, I'm not very diff savvy, so that's helps me out. Plus like you I tend to research parts I plan on installing and I haven't put much thought into the diff. With the 1.5 vs a 2 way, is the diff more favored for acceleration vs deceleration?

Heres a good thread with another review and info on the osg diff https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/114...#entry23870565
A 2way (locks under accel and decel) will, IMO, be annoying for a daily/street driven car. It behaves almost like a welded diff, tight turns will result in tire squeaking and drivetrain stress. 2 ways are popular for drifting. While a 1.5 way will still have some of that annoyance, it has less lock up on decel and will be more forgiving (like when you botch a downshift).

Yeah will do. Planning on waiting until I get the Toda test pipe. The header won't ship until May, so I will put on the test pipe and do another video. It's loud enough that I almost feel bad about doing it in the garage though.

That revalved Ohlins REALLY has my attention. I have been eyeing Ohlins, but stock rates were softer than I'd have liked. This takes care of my only issue with them!

ASM radiator tank + ASM rear tow hook
A few more ASM parts to add to the collection. Friend of mine is nearly finished testing a radiator setup he has been working on so that will likely be coming soon, so decided to pick up the ASM tank to match. The ASM rear tow hook to work with the JDM rear bumper support and new rear bumper, have been waiting for the towhook to get everything test fit since I will need to trim the mesh on the rear bumper to fit everything.
KYB hydraulic scissor jack
Also picked up this little scissor jack from Japan. Different manufacturer now but the same jack KYB used to offer. Simple little 800kg hydraulic scissor jack that is much easier to fit in the car when going to the track then my normal floor jack. Very well made, for some reason it isn't really possible to find something like this in the U.S. Only about $100 from Japan.
