Just spent $15 race bucks on "business" attire for my trip overseas instead of go fast parts. Huge bummer 🤣

Sir, I neglect my home to free up race bucks! Unacceptable! ;)
I know I'm literally bringing a second bag for all of my "gifts" for the R 🤣 my wife said bring her a little souvenir. She understands 🤣

Little bit of gas station sushi should satisfy the wife. Pack that other bag full of spoon engines and NOS!

As it would turn out, the guy with the Stinger actually sold the Stinger and now owns an ITS. He's having trouble breaking out of the 2:20's and wants my help, but he was out there bone stock trying to break out of the 2:20's. As of now he has Continental Extreme Contact tires, Paragon R5's, Jester Track Tune, Eibach Lowering Springs, and Eibach rear sway bar. I'm super excited. I'm going to have him run 3 laps with me saying nothing, and we will take a bench test of his timing without instruction. I'm hoping to save him 4-6 seconds with instruction. Should be a really fun day! I'm not driving myself, just there to help a fellow owner!

That's the plan lol. Stop at spoon offices and buy some stuff! Then a pit autobacs which kind of looks like a JDM pep boys 🤣

Any chance you can pick up a ASM carbon fiber coil cover for the S2000 for me? It sells for $450-580 here. Curious how much it is there.

Shoot me a link I'm headed to a few different shops. I wouldn't mind picking up a spoon valve cover for myself too 👍

I envy you because I just can't bring myself to take that long of a flight 😪
I have Xanax and thankfully my employer has a heart and lets us fly business class if over 14 total hours of flight time 👍 that should help a little bit I hope. I am still nervous about it.

Any recommendations on brake pads for a beginner? Had my car for nearly 2 years now and probably not a good idea to have my first track day with the original brake pads

I have liked my ebc sr11. Street safe and very usable on track. I ran EBC blue in rear.
