No ride tho, in maybe the best car culture state in the US... 

Shitty start to the day... my poor ma! :(

Factory original Selestic blue. I did most of the prep work. No clear coat. I love it!

Still need to make wing tips and bolt them on. Will likely cut the mounts about an inch shorter to get more adjustability out of the turnbuckles. No vibrations/flex up to 65mph. Will be pulling it all apart to add neoprene pads, paint the mount components, and repaint the wing. Rear hunkers down nicely at 45+!

The new Vince Staples record is spectacular. I would argue the best Hip Hope record of the last 5 years. Everybody I’ve played it for has asked within 2 songs who it is. Album is “Big Fish”. Standout tracks are the title track, Love can be..., Yeah Right, Homage, Party People, BagBak, Rain Come Down. Average tracks…

Heading into the Sully car show. Pulled over before it got too hot... time to upgrade to a 16" fan...

Time to make mounts...

One continuous strip, double wrapped around the foam/bondo core. I’ll be sanding it smooth top and bottom, and leaving the leading and trailing edges intact, filling them, to preserve every heavy ounce of strength. Weight went from about 2 lbs to ~8; haven’t put it on a scale yet. Sanding it smooth should bring it…

Price looks very right:

I’ll make a full post after I’m done, here’s a preview dump of the process I’m using. Still sanding, fiber weave (satin) layup, mount construction, etc to go...

This weekend provided an opportunity to take the S2000 out for a first true cruise. I bought the car, which I’ve been using as a daily driver, back in December, but even though the car puts a smile on my face every time I start it up, I still felt I was unqualified to offer any sort of review. Sweet DC traffic sports…

Will trim a little more on the driver’s side, but it’s otherwise done :)

Added the second layer yesterday, added resin to a couple dry spots today, cut it to shape and removed the foam. Little final cutting required on leading edge. I ordered door trim to hold the layers together on the leading edge... I’ll probably just use duct tape for the back side. After that it’ll be done and I can…

Time to sand, cut and lay up a final single piece finishing layer of kevlar...

 I’m building a track lip (2.5" off the ground, removable), wing and underbody tray for my S2k. Got a start today. Decided to start with the lip as a warm-up, since I’m a little rusty working with composites and mounting the wing will require far more forethought.

Here you can see the bolt I sheared right next to the tensioner spring while re-tensioning my belt after tuning last week. I removed the tensioner.... the bolt is shiny to the left. This is after removing the radiator and water and oil pump pulleys to get enough clearance to access it with a drill. I ended up having…
