S2IM Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 All sorted now No more vibration! Wheels swapped front to rears. Once you guys get the new alloy wheel fixer upper machine type thing one of them needs looking at which has a bit of a buckle but not enough to make it noticable while the wheel is on the rear.

Rich Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well I have to say the ride is not as harsh as I thought it would be, in fact it feels the same on smooth tarmac and boy does it stick to the road now!! Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought a decent suspension package and the Geo was domestic so no mystery there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I like the rear quarter of the bug-eye 'prezza. Has an element of Skyline R34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2IM Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 It certainly is a fast well planted car now. Recently had all the brakes done to PF Compound stuff, the suspension, the mapping/mods and its all tied in nicely. Â Thing is - i have my eyes on a S2000 now!! Â Not sure yet though... I know if I got rid I would miss it like anything! But would love a quick 2 seater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 get a cheap mx5 and keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 The S2000 is hard work to keep on the road "geometrically"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need some additions to the chassis and careful consideration geometrically to make them stick. Honda sent out many bulletins for the rear geometry positions and non of them really worked.

dazz33 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 So does this mean that the S2000 has a "flawed" chassis...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2IM Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 get a cheap mx5 and keep it.  Its a very good idea however lack of storage means what ever I get next will be my main driver and toy. This happened last year at about the same time... i started looking at elises. I think its the summer that does it. Winter time I was more than happy with mine  I used to have a MX5 a few years back (1.8i Sport) which had eibachs and a geo set up done + sticky toyos, and that was brilliant. Problem was I was getting out accelerated by Merc Sprinter vans :s It was like glue round the twisty bits though  I could get another and take it up to performance 5 in Pinner... nice greddy turbo converson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2IM Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Iain, here's that thread I told you about on Sunday, just to tickle your taste buds! Linky  Something similar to that would be spot on And yes... now we have a comfy 5 door oil burner for all the long journeys/tip runs/nights out never more of a better time!! 480 miles to 40 litres of diesel, its great!

CIH Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 You might be surprised actually. I was talking to Sean (roothlessdriver) who has a supercharged 1.8 and he said the Hornet (standard power, trick suspension) was, in someways, more fun because he could drive the nuts off it.
