Here is the only picture I snapped. The Cayman owner is a super nice dude, used to be a local S2000 owner and upgraded. AS vs GS LOL

Tires look a bit used, choppy on the outside edges. They performed as well as I could've expected though. I'm hoping they last all this season!

Big improvement in times when I drug my fat *** out of the car
had fun man and great to see times drop every time.
I have that gopro footage for you also.

Damn you making me want to mod mine! I have a bone stock 2009 and agree how badly I HATE the 8th gen community.
Thinking of the HFP suspension and an alignment as my first "mod" lol. First and last.

Here are some shots from the event

Three wheelin' on that stock suspension
I thought I was the only one, my buddy added me to an FB group
wtf is this ****?!? lol
fake wheels as far as the eye can see, weird *** mods
i dont even know what brand wheels came with my car! UGH
oddly enough the fit community was/is better in terms of mod quality, maybe because there's a jdm fit therefore jdm parts??

I was actually just going to do I/H/E and rear sway bar and do autox, I want to get Evo8 wheels,seems like a good compromise of looks/quality and cost
didn't SHG build a really nice 8th gen? I need inspiration!!! lol

I joined a FB page and instantly had to leave. It's either fake wheels and fitment questions or daily posts of "why color to paint my stock wheels" or "need coilovers d2 or k-sport has anyone heard of these?" It's like they don't know how to use Google.

I was thinking evo 8 wheels too! Gets me an inch extra (ahhh yea) and I could run a 235 without issues. Powdercoat them some factory HFP wheel grey/ gunmetal though. Funny enough I want to use a sport comp2 as well. Had them on my Fit and they are amazing tires. Don't want to go RS3 or anything too crazy for this car.

I wanted the HFP wheels until I realized they are no wider. Stock is 17x7 I think and the HFP wheels are 17x7 and 18x7... What's the benefit in that lol. Just want a little extra room for tires.
Have you thought about getting a Hondata Flashpro? I'm considering it myself.

I wouldn't mind flashpro, but like you said, then I need a bunch of other crap.
Ordered some 225/45/17 sport comp2s and picked up some used (20k miles) Mugen suspension because of this thread. I said I'd keep it stock

how much you scoop up that mugen suspension for? I think my plans have changed a bit. After discussion in the autocross forum on reddit I'm gonna go with front camber bolts, an alignment and a bigger RSB. I think I'm gonna go with the CT-Engineering rear sway cause its adjustable.
$450, seemed like a decent deal when the only HFP I could find was $720 shipped. I know that kicks me out of g-stock but the CRX build in my signature is my road course/ autocross car.
Next on the list is camber bolts, little better alignment settings, and shopping for a RSB.
