Charles did roughly a 2:05 with 235's in the rear and 225's in the front in his stock S2000. I don't think you're maxing out the capabilities of the stock suspension quite yet but you're getting close. Good Job.

Plenty of people including myself should learn from this.


Somehow I don't think money is the real issue you have yet to decide what to get.
BTW I know someone selling some Moton CS's

college is expensive so im cant mod the car anymore until after college is over and if i can get a job around here.

damn charles did a 2:05?! ugh i dont think i can get anywhere close to that but ill keep aiming for it though. do you know what tires he was on? i cant believe hes only running a 235 in the rear, must be to get the rear out.

was the 2:05 on the bypass or the crows nest?

2:05 at least I was standing on the front straight and was sure he was going to crash but he did the exact same thing lap after lap. He had the same tires I have on my camry either pilot pe2 or ps2's and the fronts were what looked like some touring tires, nothing fancy at all. The rear tires were beat up and abused. The guy has talent to say the least.
This was over turn 5 not the bypass, so the slower way around.

I would guess that your 2:10.??? would now be a 2:08-2:09 through the bypass. Very rough guess.

He was there the same day you were with your RSX when Tim, Rob and JP was there. I think it was a grip/drift event.

haha thanks everyone.

@ jeff - you were lookin good out there, i was riding in my friends black e92 m3 and you were blowing crazy smoke in turn 3 ahaha. i guess i can give pointers but i feel like im still trying to learn the car.

@ blue - yes yes come out to the july 7th one!
yeah, it was consistently like that for the entire day until the last 2 sessions. i checked my oil and seemed like i may have lost a half a quart because of it? i'm still very surprised that you don't blow smoke.

and didn't know you were in the m3 during those sessions...my saving grace for the day is that i passed the white m3 and wasn't passed by the black one

haha yeah my friend was like i can catch him on straights obviously but the turns the s is so much lighter and maneuverable. the m3 was on stock brake pads so he was doing pretty good id say. you were keeping a really steady pace.

oh and burnt oil smells bad LOL

His tires were wired out in the middle, almost blow on the way back, I replaced new set of tires for him after that event. He's crazy lol
