I've been in your position in the past. Take it as a learning experience and move forward. When you go out in the future spend time visualizing what you want to do to make that turn perfect. Otherwise you'll spend time replaying what you did wrong and possibly repeating that event.

Track insurance is a possibility in the future. Helped to take a lot of the sting out of my off track experience.

BTW, anybody else see the s2k on the cover of grassroots motorsports this month...leading the miata.

I guess it was a bad quality weld that did not propagate all the way through the metal... let us know how it turns out. P-Tuning was the only shop I let working on my car when there is something I can't do myself.

Sweet! What spring rates are you going with?

Well... my frame is tweaked most likely. The shop went to do the alignment and could not get toe or camber to UK spec. The rear camber on one side would not go past -2.6 (so more positive) and the toe was all effed up. The other side could get -2 camber as well as the correct toe. the subframe is perfectly lined up with the frame (this is the new.. used...ap2 subframe and arms/knuckles i got)


I will be purchasing SPC joints for the rear in the next couple of weeks. This means there will be no tracking for me this summer... no HPDEs what so ever.

this summer is turning out to be a total :fail: with the S.





guess i'll be just stalking the track thread instead of contributing

What shop?

Are they a know S2000 Alignment place?

Gilly_S2KFreak

they've done a few s2000's. they are actually a subie place, but very highly recommended for all makes. the shop is Agile Automotive: http://www.agileauto.com/


its the only shop i'll bring my S to in the baltimore area.

i'm thinking a trip up to BillMan's will be in order this summer.

I had heard of Alignment places turning the concentric adjusters the wrong direction and stating they could not get it right.

asked for 700/650

I mean, they got the other side correct, and they are a good shop, so i'm assuming they did it correctly. i sent Billman a PM to see if i can't meet up with him at the Dragon to talk in person about it. If it comes down to it... I think the best solution as of right now, will be SPC joints in the rears as well as the front. Maybe down the road a few years from now i can have a frame shop check it out.

i really am starting to think i may have to find another S in the near future.
