And since we're a little bit off-topic and I am just curious...how old is everybody here?

I just turned 29 in April.
29 here as well, the big 30 is coming in November. Not really looking forward to that.

While we are talking about track stuff. Anyone need a set of 14k springs? They are the ones picture on those clubsports above. I also go the standard rate springs so those are going back on for now.
TEMPTING.... but no... i need a new hood before i can get new springs (I've been having cooling problems.. wanted vented hood any way so that is what i'll be getting eventually but first a coolant flush will be my first step)... and even the hood is low on my priorities. any ways, i love my clubsports the way they are as of now
Unless you are having cooling problems while idling, a vented hood won't really do much.

THIS. I do haha. But regardless i need a new hood because the one on my car is a POS but as i said, its low on the list. coolant flush and new radiator hoses are first thing, and possibly radiator if i feel like giving myself a present hehe

Ah yeah, but 30 is the new 20! Only old as you feel! Nowadays, life isn't so short with medical advances. (Yeah, I am trying to convince myself I'm not getting old too)

What's your name goldenfri? Trying to learn everyone's actual name here. It'd be cool if I could actually meet most of you too.

Radiators are pretty cheap (relative to other parts), and for a competent mechanic like my friend Dave, it is a drop-in 20 min job. I got the Koyo for about $350 or so and it's a real quality piece.

All you need is the Mugen Fan switch and thermostat. I ran a supercharged S2000 w/o heat problem. A bigger Koyo rad would be extra protection,

A ride along is a 99$ value?, I give those out all the time for free.
