Not doing anything to the suspension because it won't make it into my driveway. Probably won't do rims until the stock tires are dead. Only things I'm going to probably do are upgrade the radio (I have a lifetime XM subscription, so I have to have it in the S2K), possibly do an 02 carpet swap, possibly a rollbar (some race event require it), and a single outlet catback exhaust (weight reduction). I'd love a hardtop, but they're $3800 lol. Most exhausts on the market will end up reducing HP, most intakes will reduce HP, springs will destroy the ride and handling, etc.

And besides, after seeing a lot of S2K's, I prefer them looking stock. The only one that Jon posted that even caught my eye, was the red one with the Amuse bumper, except the rims ruin it.
Last time I checked, your name wasn't JUN....

and tina are you going to run your car at the track? lets see some numbers
No I'm not, it's a drag event, & my tranny's slipping to begin with. Chris just did test runs on his today & he was doin' 7.5 secs at 199mph. I probably wouldn't even do double that (timing-wise obv.)

So when can we see youtube clips of your car in action?

I definitely need tips on panning technique -_-

There really aren't any tips for panning, you just have to get better at steadily moving the camera while trying to keep the car in frame.

So who do I believe here? I'd be lucky to nail a 15, & then I fail terribly if I don't.

One day I'll find out...one day...

Apparently Willow Springs has been doing tests of a 1/4 mile to see if they want to have a dedicated track for it. Some Evo guys were running there for $30 for the whole day & got 40 runs in. Maybe I'll try it out early next year if it's still around.
