I did Wake the Dragon with the s2000 community a few years back and it was a blast. I hated the 12 hour drive to get there, very painful in an S2000 given my size. I would be very happy to do the drive in my 2022 Si , so I must plan to attend, it won't be this year though. Thanks for...

So 92 octane fuel using ethanol performs better than 92 octane fuel without ethanol ? Octane rating denotes the resistance to knock, so a 92 with ethanol is the same as 92 without ethanol. Same applies to any octane but I just used 92 in this example.

Get the best octane you can get 91, 92, or 93, and I prefer non-ethanol as you will get best fuel economy from it. Ethanol fuels result in less fuel economy, as small as it may be.

^ when I put coilovers on my s2000 I went with Bilstein, but I went with fixed shocks, and not adjustable. I put my faith in shock engineers who can tune a perfect suspension. Giving someone like me a 32 way adjustable shock is just asking to screw it up and make a worse handling vehicle.

I remember running some Tein springs in the past on other cars I owned, Tein just carried over the same spring rates from past vehicles to newer vehicles and it didn't work very well. Sometimes companies offer products to get them out to market quickly and will guess at works well without...

My Subaru WRX has a tracking app that is included as standard equipment. I can locate it anywhere, and track it while it is travelling, I can set speed alerts and boundary alerts, curfew alerts. If the car is stolen it can be shutdown. I don't know of anything in the aftermarket to add...

awesome work, thanks for posting, that is a nice setup

Some days I like jumping into my WRX and appreciating the qualities of that car. But when I get back into my Si I really appreciate the characteristics of the nimble light weight chassis, steering, handling, and transmission combination, plus the fuel economy is excellent . It is a unique...

Nice to know if you want to track it. VSA saved my butt a couple months back, I was actually amazed how well it worked, I will never turn it off on the street. It also works really well in snowy conditions.

I would run them as long as they are lighter weight than stock, this car needs lighter wheels.

Looks good, black goes good with all of the black accent pieces and the black OEM wheels. I pound the miles on mine as a daily driver, and it works great for me. The steering is heavy only in sport mode and I don't like it heavy. I personally like a lighter steering so I go for...

On the Si it doesn't start until about 5000 rpms, it may be slightly different on the R, but if you are still in break-in mode you may not see them until you get past break-in.

I changed the transmission fluid to Amsoil MTF 5w30 very soon after getting the car, it works so much better in all conditions, particularly the 2nd gear notchiness.

I'm happy with mine after one year of driving it, but I knew what I was getting and I had no wild expectations other than what the car is all about. It is a fun, nimble, and great handling vehicle, with great fuel economy, and a nice powertrain. It is not a 1/4 mile racer by any means...
