Be interested to hear your views on the bushes / handling for general road use ... am right at that point myself and am in the process of ordering bolts n stuff from over the pond ready to go.

Pat, the handling is perfect for pottering about daily and fast road handling. The car feels SOLID. One thing that did annoy me was the little bumps and squeaks, and most of them are away. The bump steer issues are now completely gone, which it suffered from quite badly

Edit - I got 220rwp, but I'm sure It's a damned sight quicker than it was before. This thing really does fly now, even Dixon commented on how much better it was

That's what i'm interested in ... mine is starting to feel just a little bit tired in the handling department and i think it needs sharpening up.

Looks like some quality time/effort/parts have been put to good use!

Car is looking great, .

Has it been tuned? I'd imagine with those mods it will run lean on vtec engagement not that its a massive problem for a split second.

A remap is on the cards, just waiting for the wallet to recover from the battering it's had

It's not too bad actually, on vtec engagement you definitely know about it and power delivery is much smoother.

Your S2000 looks very tidy. I'd get it tuned to compliment the mods and stop running lean.

Kim, I replied you to my project thread. Is there much difference in braking performance when the brakes are cold?
