It always is. love the PH smily on the light. I modified a username tag and put a small smily on my civic. I was thinking of getting a frosted one for the filler flap.

Where you based?

Hi

I'm Bexley way.

Back in the fold after getting shot of a German run about!
Much prefer the S2000, more enjoyable to drive and hopfully more reliable. biggrin

I just love high revving NA engines. They are perfectly happy about town, but as soon as you "push-on" they really make you work for it, and equally reward you. I have had passengers positivly wince as i take a long bend, slip down to 3rd and hold 7000rpm for the power out phase. Its just not for some people, they inherently think the engine is going to blow up! I think the S2000 and my EP3 civic type r both perfectly complement their engines, yes they could take more power, but they provide a perfect compromise.

Also Honda reliability rocks. No problems so far, cheap servicing, huge amount of aftermarket bits and bobs....

i'm going for the collective "high five!"

Nice one.

First two jobs:-
1) Fit cross-braces, esp. the front upper- and lower.
2) Get the geometry properly sorted.

Between them they make a huge difference. Oh, and s2ki.co.uk is a very useful resource and generally a friendly place, even if some of the residents are a little odd...

The 9k red line is a real smile maker. A good mate of mine, who drives a truck and a V8 tiv just can't get over the noise, he winces when I take it over about 6K rolleyesbiggrin

I might have to look at the geo as I do get the back hopping out if it hits pothole a bend.

As for S2Ki, yea I know what you mean wink Good guys though and such a big forum!

Looking forward to next week, on holiday and the weather should be good cool
