Default My first lapping day experience...in the rain haha

Hey went to a quick lapping day on sunday just for fun and man I just wanted to say wow does the s2k ever come to life on the track! It was raining which obviously brought the speeds down quite a bit but it was still tons of fun and I can't wait for some track tires and a dry track! Heres some pictures of me and my buddy that day and my buddy's crazy RSX. Also a couple videos of us laughing like school girls around the track Enjoy

Stock deck made the ride shitty! haha

centrecaps
don't be reppin them like their rota's. get some flat black spray paint, i have some you can borrow.

Glad you boys had a good time at the track though. Probably best to learn in the rain

rain is fun to learn in, less wear+tear on teh tires/brakes as well (well maybe not always brakes so much lol). also, if you learn the 'wetline' of a track...it's crazy quick and you can get amazing braking grip and some decent accel grip too.

I have 3 year old street tires with camber wear....there was no grip anywhere lol. I need both a new set of street tires and track tires for my oem rims

3 year old street tires with camber wear? Even better to learn to be a great driver.

I was talking about the silver OEM centre caps on the the Works. They look familiar

IMO should not have an OE centre cap on there, just doesn't look right. The White rota's/spoons look great. Always had a soft spot for those rims.
