Come join us in Charlottesville, VA this Saturday. Lots of twisties, lots of mountains, lots of beautiful scenery, lots of great S2000 people followed by barbecue, wine, pizza, beer and S2000 talk.

WC2007S2K · 11-21-2007, 02:58 PM

Whats up everyone, Im from westchester, Ny.
Got an 07 Laguna Blue Pearl, looking to make some mods, any suggestions on what got the most bang for the buck spent?

Thanks guys, I look forward to hearing back.

Daddy Zach · 11-22-2007, 06:18 PM

Toronto, Canada.
That far enough North East?
Be nice to hear from anyone else up in my neck of the woods

The banana belt and home of Yonge and Bloor...how's traffic on the QEW? Welcome to the madness...pull up a chair and make yourself to home....(I lived in Ottawa, Montreal, and Moncton)

Pablo · 11-23-2007, 06:01 PM

Hey WC......A Long Islander here.......lookin' for an excuse to drive Stewie somewhere. Breakfast at some greasy spoon would be fine. There's some nice twisties on the roads near Harriman St. Park. Maybe Java from Joisey could join us and any others that may be local.

Regards
Pablo

Go up to the traffic circle in Harriman and go 270 degrees and take the road that goes down by the reservoir, it's one nice twisty road.

Java Junky · 11-29-2007, 09:03 AM

You thinkin' 'bout somethin' local Pablo, 'r headin' up to Conn. 'r somethin'?
If it's jus' ta put faces with the avatars we wouldn't even godda seek out twisties, but, given a choice I like greasy-spoons whut're kind'a oud'a the way.
But, we're open 24 hours for suggestions.
(I'll show up in a WWII leather, floppy-earred pilot's helmet if everybody else does. N' I can jus' see Jagg postin' pictures'uv us all'z we get shoved into the paddy-wagon 'r long-sleeved jsckets.)
Be well,
Java

Pablo · 11-29-2007, 12:37 PM

It would be nice to the face behind the avatar, combined with a nice ride is even better. I'd sure like to see and hear some other stewies, and chat about some stuff I'm think about doing to mine. It's a bit easier than all this typin'.

I know a little bit of CT especially the Kent area and Cornwall areas. I also know there are some nice spots in Sussex NJ and RT 6 in PA is a nice ride. I spend a lot of time in the Bear Mountain/ Harriman Park area some nice roads there. The Town of Cold Spring is near by and has some nice sights and decent places to eat.

I'm open to suggestions. I figure about a 2 hr max one way would be cool.

Best regards
Pablo

why did you do that? Honda already has undercoating applied. Anything you apply will only trap water and other crud and keep it nice and close to the body...

I doubt it. It's much quieter. FAR less road noise. Much more enjoyable for me. Key word "me".
All I hear now is sweet exaust note.
I don't drive her in the rain. I don't drive her in the snow. I think she will be fine. Most everything I spritzed was plastic anyway. Dampened the racket. Less "pebble hitting underpart" noise too. That drove me crazy. I may strip the cockpit and use sound deadening paint as well sometime. And don't tell me I bought the wrong car.

As long as you're happy, that's all that counts...you're not doing anything to my car...

...just adding weight to yours (but I've seen a sound-deadening kit for S2k's....now if I could remember where, I'd let you know..does the trunk and the interior)...I don't drive in the snow either but rain can't be helped sometimes. I do enough meets and drives that running into rain is almost inevitable.

I appreciate that you understand ownership comes with entitlement. I will live with the 3 pounds minus propellant that evaporates away. I use the rubberized paintable type applied to an already quite rustproof car. Just this minute back from a top up buzz around town. Stock stereo playing much lower and nicely audible, like having headphones on. Well..kinda.
FWIW I have no desire to work on your car and I knew I would get some hazing over this. Look me up in 20 years and we compare notes.

Joyce · 12-07-2007, 03:53 PM

Hi,
I live in Meriden CT and have just joined the forum. My husband just bought me the car of my dreams. It is a 2005, silver with black interior, it it like brand new a beauty. This is the best Christmas ever!

Pablo · 12-07-2007, 07:51 PM

Hey Joyce....another '05 owner here. The guys around here have told me that 05's are the fastest of the breed.........in any color....

It's real nice to have a woman on the board! Welcome!

Oh, and before I forget, did you find the secret compartment yet?

Regards
Pablo

Pablo · 12-07-2007, 07:56 PM

Thats my Tartan28. We sail her out of Milford. I'm a Tartan lover. That was me testing my new kite in the pic. Figured that would shake some sailors out of the trees. Hey PJ is our second home. Ya boat pics are way off topic but this won't take long. That's the old kite BTW.

Java Junky · 12-08-2007, 03:59 AM

More sailors, sheesh!
Water'z wet ('thought you guy'z'd appreciate that one) Stewie'z got secret compartments n' threads morph. Off-topic happens.
