Default On to the next one: from RYP s2000 to GPW

So as some of you know I was involved in October, so I just thought I'd make a nice thread about my transition from RYP to GPW





So after the accident and getting all my parts off of the yellow one, I set out to buy another one and I went right to the forums here and found the white one that had been for sale for a little while. After a couple weeks and paperwork I finally got it. Ive always wanted a white one so I love it even more. I got it with 26,000 miles and it included Hondata Flashpro, PLM header, OEM front lip, K&N Intake system, invidia test pipe, Buddy Club N+ coilovers, and Greddy Ti exhuast and rolled fenders. The best part about getting another S is doing stuff the right way that I wasn't able to do with the yellow one

Here's how I picked it up.

It has the red carpet which I love and the two tone seats which took a bit to grow on me and I love them.









It came with a small dent on the rear that needs to be fixed.

The first order of business was to ditch the Greddy in favor of my HKS. The Greddy was very loud and not my style so I really wanted to get my nice growling HKS hi-power on it.

With that done, I ordered two more 17x9 RPF1's since the one was damaged in the accident, so I decided to go 17x9 all around, after I got them in the mail they went straight down to brothers to be powder coated to match the others.

I raised the car up a bit because it was slammed and not exactly my style and threw the wheels on.























The car made 228 on the dyno at IMW and went 13.7@103 when I went to Cecil county Md in Nov.

Here's the new dyno sheet and then another with comparison with the old Rio

This, although I do prefer the ap1 rear bumper over the ap2.

thank you for not putting on a gooft rim combo that belongs on a civic or a dumpster.. lol

good numbers for n/a, you work on the intake manifold at all.. that really is our crux, you can squeezer a good amount of power if you port the crap out of the penlum, + extension/tb spacer + 70-72mm throttlebody
