I'm looking them, just trying to make sure they're good to go since they're 3 years old.
many coilovers that i've installed have a note on the installation guide to spray some sort of lubricant on the threads for height adjustment when adjusting settings.

I'm sorry but I can't hear you your wheels are too loud

Sounds good man, just let me know. I might be headed to Nova this weekend though.

It's a really nice exhaust, I do enjoy it. It's quiet when you want it to be, and loud when you step on it. I mean, one reason I want to try something else is because I want something louder, so I don't think you need to worry about that.

Not a problem. I'm not in a rush at all. Besides my RPf1 are coming back from the powder coater gloss black. I will highly recommend J&J Powdercoating if any of you are planning on getting anything powder coated.

Nice! I may have to hit you up with your soft top connect because I could use another soft top with reasonable pricing for installation from someone who know's what they are doing.

The ap1 had a rear bais spring rate to promote oversteer. In it's early years the S2000 was meant to be pure competition in the sports car scene. However only old people could afford them, so enough old people complained about how hard it was to control the car and thus the Ap2 was born. With a front bais suspension setup and a few other suspension geometry points changed around to make the car easier to control.

They also complained about the lack of torque, the cheap feeling interior, the shitty sound system, ect. So those are a few more perks of the Ap2 over the Ap1. The Ap2 never proved to be a better or worse car in terms of competition though.
