I know it was around an 8.5lb drop on the first iteration. There was some more material taken off of the main plates in the more recent bars, so expect somewhere between 8.5lb-9lb weight drop off the front end. Mat can give you the exact numbers.

Do you use rivnuts for the top attachment of the airdam to the OEM bumper and if Yes, how to prevent them from pulling through the bumper plastic...?

Plastic piece with the two metal pieces that you take off are 12lb
Center cut out piece 1.9lb

Bar you bolt in the place is 5

Weight savings-8.9lb

Decisions.
245 RR on Silver 9.5" Freeform
205 R7 on...???
(I won't have any 225 R7s unless I win them from contingency. I already have 205s to run half a season on)

Enkei does 15x8 RPF1 in Matte Blue and Victory Blue.

Victory in rear, matte in front because it'll be covered in brake dust anyways.

Thanks. Now i'm looking to see if either of those colors are available in S2000 fitment. Jerk.

Bronze bearing retrofit done.
Engine should be shipping in the next few days.

I’d like to get a coat of paint on the interior, replace the harness with a yellow Schroth Profi 2x2 and install some Koolmat.
Then it’s on to the brakes. I have a stack of Oem shape G-Loc, but would love to put a red Wilwood Dynapro Gen2 Trackspeed 11.75” Kit in here for the swag. I’m not entirely sure my sprint/tt/HPDE usage will show much benefit, but they’re parts I sell and the penalty is relatively small(.2 p:w).

I got the suspension refresh finished up and put the car on the ground and got to roll it out into the sunlight for the first time since laying any of the wrap. I am much excite.

still a good list remaining, but this is nice little pick me up.

I love that wrap!!!

What class are aftermarket brakes a penalty for? I may have to rethink my approach now that I'm down 50+hp.

Correct. You can also see modifiers by opening the classing submission form and changing the class you want to be in. The modifier check boxes will change appropriately.

Corner workers are going to hate you. At least initially...?

Welp, the start of the season is suffering nearly 100% cancellations/postponements, moving back to fit my timeline. The state next door(PA) just ordered the shuttering of all non life sustaining businesses. Crazy times.

I received some goodies recently, and played with them like a child.
The logistics of running Superlites in the midwest means running some funky narrow/low offset wheel for rain tires, or bolt on adapters, and I just don't want to deal with either.

8/9/9.5"" wheels clear the Dynapro easily enough with a slip on 5mm in some cases, and I think I still get a whole season out of a single set of front pads.
So I've decided to run an 11.75" Gen2 TSE Wilwood Dynapro kit.
My planned low-car-count and HPDE wheel/tire combo is all here now too. 245/40/15 Toyo RR on 9.5" Freeform.
Tarmac 88's tire machines will be here next week, so there is hope of having the entire roller done by the end of march!
