But then, well then nothing would be manoeuvrable

It doesn't stiffen the car up, just makes gear changes good

He means he will scrape more

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Tue Dec 11, 2012 10:47 am

Actually yeah, it hangs lower than the butterfly brace and catches things if I'm not careful and my car isn't particularly low, just has not great bottom clearance these days

Nice authentic! I'm running HSD's in my NA too

Authentic, may I ask how much you paid for the HSD and where did you get them from. Do you know the spring rates?

Id like to know as well please

I got them for about $1550 off Trade Me. The rates are 9kg/mm Front, 6kg/mm Rear. I'd been looking at these for a while, but the guy was always out of stock. The waiting paid off though

Torsen arrived today. Was funny watching a huge truck try to back all the way down our driveway to get it here

DORIDORI!

Only takes a few hours to fit, clean up the drive shaft and try not to lose too much gearbox oil.

Oh yeah need some diff oil. Any recommendations?

Redline's supposed to be good. I feel the need to replace the oil in my S2000 and will probably go with Redline.

Got some Spoon reservoir covers and a J's Racing oil filler cap to dress up my engine bay last night

Damn, looking at those top hats they could probably go fucking low!

got the TRD stuff from Toyota, just relabelled Cusco stuff but slightly cheaper.

I looked into Redline but its not worth paying twice the price.

Not sure about S2K's, but EVERY other honda gearbox is reknowned for eating itself without using Honda MTF...

Oh, I was talking about the differential. For the gearbox, absolutely, although in the S2000's case it's roughly the same 6-speed found in the MX-5

Honda doesn't make differential fluid for the S2000, though.

Woohoo. Tomorrow (or today actually) my stuff should finally clear MAF after having to fight Customs (bunch of thieving bastards) for a month...

Will finally be on track to getting all my stuff installed

Will have to take photos

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 5:38 pm

Picked it up and was impressed that it all fit into the car... Have photos but will stick them up when at work or something since my internet is super slow lately.

Those RPF1s are really light compared to my current wheels

Time to hijack this thread again

Long story short, picked up my stuff from the States last Friday:

Really struggled to get it into the car and for a moment there when the crate was sitting next to the car I was actually worried about how to fit it all in...

1 Glad I didn't take the MX5 to try pick it up... would've been super inconvenient

2 Looking into the boot

3 yeah tight fit but I got it there

4 All the stuff on the garage floor

5 New wheels

Much lighter than the ones that came with the car

6 Finally put the Nopro and CF aero wing on

Everyone needs some CF love

7 Frog arms. Started putting those on but it got super hot in the garage and I started drinking beer which meant I gave up pretty quickly. Sadly these are the crazy lime green I was after

8 Camshaft to do the Exhintake mod finally... Will do cambelt/waterpump etc at the same time

9 Coolant reroute - Will do at the same time as radiator/supercharger

10 Sexy smoked indicators - I put them on the floor and forgot about them...

11 Fuel rail which I'll put on with all the other engine related stuff

12 Koyo radiator to fix my one which is now leaking slightly. Timing was good I guess

13 Ah the supercharger. Used as the garage door stop for now...

14 Wheel spacers I mentioned before in another post - Will grind the existing studs back a bit for more clearance. Mental note to self, if I ever get spacers, get the big ass ones for ease of installation

Can't wait for my stuff from Japan to arrive via container now

can't be far away...

Also gave up on taking photos by the end... There are other things which I've forgotten about but I'll give them a mention once my car is back up and running

Hahahaha that car was packed! I think you need to book a week/month off work to fit it all

I know... So much to do, so little motivation (too much beer) and probably need a bit more knowledge to install it :p Ah well, it'll get there
