Default Greetings!

I've been trolling the kill board for sometime now and I finally closed the deal on a black '04. I'm looking forward to insightful information on possible mods for the car. Cheers!

Congratulations on the purchase

I see you have a nice fleet of cars already..... ::jealous::

Also seems you have some experience with RWD cars already. That's basically the big thing around here. People going from Civics/Integras to S2000's. The change from FWD to RWD is pretty big and hard to get used to.

HT is pretty good for information, but try out http://www.s2ki.com for more info. There is an almost limitless supply of infomation and member knowledge there.

Post some pics of your car. Did you get the OEM lip, spoiler, and strakes?

We (my wife and I) got the OEM everything. We weren't sure of what was out there so we bought it completely stock. We don't have a digital camera, but this would a good time as any to buy one. I'll get some pics, but I guess I'll need someone to host them. I'm totally new at this. What file format should the pics be saved in?

OEM is the best

A great hosting place for Honda-tech is http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com Just upload your pics onto there. Should preferably be a jpg format, but I believe gif will do. Most digicams snap pics in jpg anyway. Click on the IMAGE button and put the URL of the image in between the two tags.

Make sure you post pics of your other cars too. Hehe.

Here's my wuss 2001.


MODS:
Dent above driver's side headlight from deer
Custom Mud-Silverstone color
Rattling clutch
Bald rear tires

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try this week or weekend. I'll make sure to include the whole "fleet." Nice ride you got there! When will I be allowed to post in kills?

Gemballa is an aftermarket tuner like mugen or spoon. I have bolt ons from different companies, but the majority is Gemballa and a Gemballa mechanic tuned the car. Here's what I have.

Porsche:
Gemballa throttle bodies, cats, headers, exhaust and ECU
Car Graphics CAI
Custom intake and exhaust cams
H&R adjustable coilovers
OEM GT3 Rear Wing, Side Skirts and Front Bumper
OEM GT3 Sway bar and strut tower brace
B&M Short shift kit
Interior plastics custome painted Arctic Silver to match body
Aluminum shifter and ebrake
Silver hood badge
Silver horn pad badge
Techart aluminum pedal set w/ dead pedal
Techart stainless door sills
Techart Daytona 18's

Here is the Dinan S2 package from what I can remember:
CAI
Throttle bodies
Velocity Stacks
Air Meters
Headers
Exhaust
ECU
3.45 Diff
Lightened flywheel
Front and rear strut tower brace
Springs, struts, shocks and sway bar.
Camber plates

Hope this helps.

OK peeps where are the computer guys. Bought a digicam last night, snapped some photos, but my network at the office won't allow me to connect the camera via USB. Anyone know how I can bypass this without notifying the network administrator?

Gembella 996!

I've had the privilege of experiencing a Ruf BTR snap my neck back from 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds, and then watching the speedo creep up to 300km/h. It was truly an un-nerving experience.
