thanks guys....i'll continue to live this dream

btw, d. is not possible (according to ganley)...something to do with some sort of sensor (i'd like to say TPC, but i'm not sure if throttle has anything to do with steering)....joe gave me the name of the sensor, but i forget.
I know for a fact that if you sit in neutral and hold the engine rpm above 3000 for more than 3 minutes, this will cause the EPS light to come on. Thus, it is reasonable to say that the steering is somehow tied to the speed sensor and rpm.

just found out from the shop....front spacers are actually 18MM per corner.

so, the track changed by 36MM.....

is that considered to be substantial?
Yes, 36mm translates to 1.4". If you look at some cars from year to year, the manufacturer have been known to play with the track a bit. A change of 1 inch in track can make significant contributions to handling (both positive and negative effects).

Alex, I'm all for humour, even in UTH. What I'm not comfortable with is information given in a humorous form that is sometimes too subtle for the average viewer to "get". I know for a fact that the advice you gave here was nonsense and I also know PLYRS 3 personally and know that he's too smart to fall for it. Unfortunately, there are many here who do not understand your wit or your past and could be hurt by your trifling. Not all of your advice is that blatantly sadistic. Some of the "garbage" is well disguised in a serious tone. A liberal dose of smilies would be in order and I would request you use them?

Dave, I never really about it that way, but you're absolutely correct. I'd hate to think I'd be to blame when some unlucky S2000 owner comes back here and says he tried my method , but also shattered a wheel and is experiencing severe neck pains from .

Though I can't promise you I'll stop posting the "garbage," I will make it a little more obvious next time.
