New Pilot Super Sport front tires installed last week. Took the S for an autocross event yesterday so I would say the new tires are all broken in now.

Replaced the Engine, Differential, and Transmission Oils last week. Flushed the brake and clutch fluids. Replaced the engine and cabin air intake filters as well. I'd say ready to go! I just need to make it through my buddy's Bachelor Party this weekend and then pack the car and get ready to !!

Can't wait!

I'm glad all my work to be done on the car comes between the Dragon, retirement and heading out west to S2kDays in Colorado!!!!

Fresh GC oil change, TCT refurb, and a Valve Adjustment.

I'll get an alignment Thursday.

Now my front right brake/rotor is squeaking but my pads are ok...

CG lock finally installed. I think it will come in handy driving these mountain roads! I feel like it helps my posture too, haha.

Packing up tomorrow and heading our Wednesday morning. So excited!

Find me in the lodge when you arrive (I'll end up there eventually).

Brakes are at 50% life, and tires have about 5000 miles on them (Nokian Z-Line). Need to fix small tear (wear) on driver side top. Got the Black Patch in the mail on Friday to fix it. I was on the soccer pitch all weekend (US Soccer official). I'll apply the patch to the right side as well, as it is starting to wear.

Ok... need to install the Modifry straps for my top...

If my cousin's husband can find a weekend, I have a full audio install to complete.
Audio system on hold (took a temp job in Texas). Modifry straps are on hold (ran out of time between out of state soccer tournaments). I did add The Black Patch to both sides of my top, where it is starting to wear. When I get back from the Dragon, I'll see if my Honda dealership will invoke the TSB to replace my hood. (fingers crossed).

Clutch Master and Slave cylinders are replaced, thanks to Jonathan Saul in Enon. Super knowledgeable on Honda's and is 2000 S2000.

Just need to pack and finish the cell phone mount install (the ProClip screws supplied with my mount are too small for the Modifry mount - 5 minutes at Ace Hardware will fix that). Co-workers GoPro is ready to go!

See you all at Montgomery inn
