Rear suspension is going in. Going against the grain
using Bilsteins with Centerline springs, but yellow on
yellow looks cool
I figure with the extra weight of the
S2000 flopping around, they should be ok, and a somewhat
harsh ride does not bother me, yet
.
I also re-opened the differntial and added two more friction
plates to increase the % lockup. Started feeling nervous about
all that power and only using the stock 25% lockup with
only one friction plate.
Also here's a shot of the rims with Falken Azenis on.
Questions:
1) Did I put the strap metal guides on in the correct
orientation? I have the curved piece that keeps the
strap pressed down facing the rear.
2) How does one measure the endplay on the trunion?
I think the shop manual states that it should be 0.4cm
on each side, if not use shims. With the poly washer,
I cannot see the gap.
3) When you add friction plates to the third member, do you
remove one of the shims/spacers, and stack the friction plates together,
sandwitched between the spacers? So: spacer/friction/friction/spacer?
Otherwise the friction plates rub on the cups that hold the gears.
4) Where do I get rear wheel studs? IAP is out, and the exchange
rate and shipping from Euro is too high...
