The last time I was in a confessional (coming from a catholic school), I made up having impure thoughts regarding one of the nuns. LOL.

You should of recognized me by my nick but thank you. I think I did a total of 5 spin out and 10+ cones. I do love me some cones though. I think it's all because I forgot my magnetic number "5" at home. I can't forget that next time.

You should of came and say "Hi." We were looking for you actually.

Rob- remember to let me know which run group and work area you'll sign up for so I can sign up for the same on the 16th.
I did the last AAS event and I'll probably do the next one... just a matter of scheduling.

I'm Tom, by the way, I'll make sure to introduce myself at the next event. Wasn't sure if you guys were s2ki or not beforehand.

I'm Bryan, an AAS regular. Dont really run with anyone else except for the occasional SCCA in Sac. Not sure if we talked or even met down in Marina. I drive a blue s2000.

Bryan, how's the car now?
You've done quite a bit of work to it, hope it's paying off.

Car is a lot better. I beat Guy by a couple tenths the last event but he was trying some weird stuff. Overall, the car still has a push on corner entry so were going to soften the front bar and lower the rear of the car down to try and loosen it up a bit.

I also have RS-3's on the car and that heped a bunch. A lot more mid corner and corner exit grip and speed is available with these tires.

I might look into getting some more spring rate for the rear of the car if I dont like softenng the front bar.

Flashpro is awsome!! Having vtec at 4200 and rev limiter at 8400 makes the s2000 a totally different car. It nice coming out of a corner already in vtec and not getting a kick in the ass at 6200 and getting the car all pissed off.

Overall it still comes down to suspension tuing but car is 100 times better.

That's awesome but I think lowering the rear will make the push worse on entry. Try raising it first before softening the front bar.

I've already raised the rear 3 turns from where I started at the last AAS event in Marina. It's going to push even worse at G.A. so softening the front bar is the best option I have right now. i think to get the best balance over all, I should go to 750 springs in the rear with the front bar where it is now.

God suspension tuning makes my head spin LOL. I'll have my Comptech header on and tuned though (finally). I swear, I really need to take like a suspension class someday

Can't wait until Saturday. Are you guys going on Saturday too?

I don't think either of us are fast enough to worry about that kind of thing yet.
