Great driving man, that looks like a lot of fun. Poor differential, haha.

How's the car holding up in terms of temperatures with the tracking, etc by the way?

Look forward to seeing how you go with Wakefield.

Thanks man it was heeeaaps of fun i'd definitely do it again!

well like you said, poor differential, that seems to be the only thing showing signs of stress since the new power as I'm starting to get some whine noises, other then that temp wise everything seems to be sweet i've now done 2 days in sweltering heat and the temps have held up to spec nicely, of course I'm running the engine oil cooler which helps to, but even with the front mount seated in front of the OEM radiator the water temps stay in check.

Yeah wakefield in july is the big one for the Honda team, I'll definitely needing a BBK and wing before that one

I actually did consider it for a bit but i'm after something that stands a bit high, i will most likely go with my original choice in the APR wing, everyone is telling me to go Voltex to match the diffuser but i don't need a hollywood wing just need something that works haha

Each driver were given course sheets for the day that looked like this...
you either had to memorise the course or get a co-driver in with you.





They were very difficult and look heaps easier on paper lol, heaps of people including me screwed some of the courses up throughout the day which costed points for their team. The course i was doing in the video was the last one called "big eyes".

nice man, looks a lot more fun with water! Did you find you weren't using all your power as well? I would be between 1st and 2nd gear and get way too much wheelspin and understeer (an LSD would have been a saviour). If you come down to Griffith or Cootamundra for Nulon Nationals let me know and I'll come watch

It was heaps of fun man, Yeah i definitely couldn't use all the power, i tried to hit second gear on one of the courses and it just got uncontrollable with wheel spin so i stayed in 1st the whole day, as soon as i jabbed full throttle it would smash the limiter like you can hear in the video. I think the 1.5 way LSD was a massive help in this though.

At the moment i probably won't be running at Cootamundra but things can change, ill let you know

couple more photos coming through, good to finally get some good quality photos of the car.


Needs a wing to complete that rear end

[eskimo_firefighter]

Awesome photo's. What wing were you thinking of getting?

So jealous of the supercharger power haha.

[Toddxxx]

I'm guessing apr gt300?

Apr make good wings and a lot of the time they're significantly cheaper than voltex too!

[wongy]

I would not be able to remember the courses xD

Like Todd said, i'll be going with an apr gt300

The supercharged power is awesome! I could never go back now lol

I would not be able to remember the courses xD

It was heaps difficult, i stuffed up a few times lol but so did pretty much everyone

[steve d]

It's been a sad week and i'm devastated to say i have written off the s2000, she will be missed!

Next stop, the car that was in my sights along side the S, R32 GTR.
