I'm assuming no problems, right?

None that I am aware of. I did it right before your track days and was happy with the way it handled. I also got new tires on the same day, so I can't give a back to back opinion. I think that the rear tire wear is worse, but when you drive less than 3K miles a year, you don't notice it as much.

Now that I think about it, on badly crowned roads it has tracking issues. I only notice it on one road that is near to my house, but on that road it is very noticeable.

Sooo... how was the run today? Good, bad, indifferent? Anyone hurl? Dish!

Good drive. We had 5 cars start out. 2 of them bowed out at the top of Palomar. The Jetta hat went had a really weird thing where the gas in the gas tank got extremely pressurized and the fumes were leaking out the gas cap. He took the cap off and the car was spitting gas out. I had never seen such pressure before.

After that, the 3 of us went on to breakfast. One person bailed after breakfast leaving just 2 of us finishing the drive. It was different being a passenger. I was itching to drive. Thanks to John for letting me ride shotgun.

Didn't post it in S2ki this time Vinny...

Bet you would've had more people come out if you would've posted on there...Unless this was an s2000.com exclusive run?

Actually, I just forgot to post it. It wasn't an exclusive run.

^^ Next time you post a run I'll make a thread on s2ki...I've met my fair share of s2ki members that like going on runs as much as I do in thier stock or near stock s2ks. Not everyone on s2ki is the "hard parker" type, although there is a fair share...
