17x9 +22.. I technically should be able to tuck the tire, but my shop didn't shave the inner lip of the overfenders enough.. I will be dropping the car back off at the shop hopefully tomorrow and see what they can do.
for the time being, here are some random pics of stuff I have laying around:
ASM Bonnet Dampers that I picked up from Tommy when I drove down to socal 2 weeks ago for a pizza party
My friend also happened to visit the ASM Shop in Japan while he was there on vacation for a month (lucky bastard) and happened to pick up a set of Titanium ASM License Plate Bolts for me.. He told me they only had 3 left at the actual ASM Shop in Japan. This brings my grand total to 7 of the 60 Titanium ASM License Plate Bolts ever produced.
I also picked this up from Stan (Rev_to_8). Thanks again buddy!
a picture I snapped from our weekly tech-night meets
and here's one I took last week when I decided to remove the hardtop for a nice drive through the mountains.

going in for a re-tune tomorrow with the new supercharger pulley. I am a bit worried/nervous about a few things, however.. I will be running the higher boost on stock compression, and I am crossing my fingers that everything will be ok. I talked to my tuner and he already told me that he has tuned a few similar boost setups on stock compression on S2000's and that since I am utilizing the AEM EMS 1052, they can monitor knock and pull timing if needed. Another thing that I am worried about is my clutch... I really really really hope that my clutch is upto the task.. it is a Competition Clutches Stage 2 setup with about 8k miles on it already. Apparently, this setup requires a 500 mile break-in, that I was not aware of. 
So I had the clutch installed, and drove it straight to the tuner where they dyno-tuned it with the brand new clutch.. apparently, it slipped up towards the top (around 8600rpm) but now it does not. I am hoping that the slipping was only due to the break-in of the clutch not being done... the clutch is rated on their website for 400whp, so I am really hoping that it is ok for tomorrows tune-session. The last thing that I am somewhat worried about are my injectors... I am running rc 650cc injectors, and my tuner told me that it should be just enough for my planned setup.. if anything, I can always throw on a set of 750's, but I am just hoping that it is enough. 
wish me luck fellas! I'll have some video's posted up for you guys by tomorrow evening if all goes according to plan!
EDIT: I also have a new set of suspension going on the car soon.
you guy are going to love these, haha. 
I also still haven't had time to stop by the shop to install the AP2 tails, install the ASM Towhook, and shave the overfenders some more. 
I am going to try to make it on Wednesday, then after I drop in my new suspension, dial in the height and settings, and have the car aligned.

definitely go ap2 tails. They are cleaner looking and I think will flow better with your car. I love what you've done with it.
As far as injectors go I say if you've got the 750s already put them in. You are much better off having extra injector than running your 650s too hard. Ideally you don't really want to run the injectors over 85% duty cycle if you don't have to. I also think its a good idea just so you don't have to deal with the possibility of wasting time if the 650s aren't quite enough.

but my tuner is hosting another dyno-day on the 25th and I'm listed for an extra hour of tuning. I guess if anything, I will throw them on before the dyno day and have them re-tune it. 
today is D-Day so wish me luck! I almost forgot to charge the batteries on my camcorder!
