Nothing really to write home about at the moment. But i just washed her, so i thought I'd share. I also got new number plates.

I will be attending Tarmac Attack on the 24th of Aug. So a list of things to do before the track day.

• Put new tyres on
• Wheel alignment
• Brake pads
• Change all oils

Damn looks good! Is your car lowered at all?

[ThanhNewgen]

Today i finally got my tyres on and a wheel alignment. My tyres of choice are the hankook RS3's in AP2 OEM sizes. Also did a UK Alignment but with different rear toe settings.

The car feels like another car! I'm very surprised what a simple wheel alignment can change.

I was also abit concerned about the car's AFR's due to changing exhaust. So i decided to take it Toy's Garage for a dyno run to check up on it. And to my surprise the car made 161kw's, I think Toy was also very surprised himself. But i wasn't there for the numbers. Maybe someone with experience dynoing S2000's can shed some light. My car is running abit rich but still very safe.

No photos of the dyno because i decided to leave my camera at home but i made a video with my iPhone so its not the greatest.

Enjoy guys!
(PS. Yes I Know my car is filthy)

That's a huge amount of power put down at the wheels. Most stock S2000's put down about 125-130ish ATW I found. 161 is nuts haha.

I don't think the power figure is correct. But it has a really nice power curve.

As always I get lazy and don't up date. I went out to Wakefield park raceway on a Tarmac attack event but it was raining.

It was very difficult trying to learn how to drive the car fast and being wet.

So I'm looking at going to another track day later on.

I've been searching for a set of wheels for a long time. And I didn't want to settle for anything but ce28n concave face which are 17x10 +45. But i couldn't find any. However I ended up finding 17x9.5 +42. Which IMO look better.

Anyways enjoy the pictures, more to come I rushed to put the wheels on as its was my only free weekend for awhile. I still need to get a wheel alignment.

[felixR]

That looks sweet! Nice find.

[eskimo_firefighter]

Love the concave CE28's, I want a set of bronze on my car one day too.

In what way does the 9.5+42 look better than the 10+45? My belief is that the face on both specs are the same with the concave/dish?

[Shakeel]

Wow great find. I'm so jealous!
