Dusted off the camera and did a photoshoot the other day. I forgot how much fun taking out the car, sneaking into place with a bunch of wicked rides and snapping some pics can be.

The owner/worker there gave us the ok to use the spot so that was a bonus.

Nice cars, I'm continually surprised how people can be so good at styling their cars, and so terrible at styling themselves.

Cars with obscenely large wings isn't what I would call good style. I have no problem if the car is a race car like Le Mans that can actually make use of the downforce but all your doing with those wings is begging for cops to give u a reason to pull you over for a VI. Too heatscore! Remember, less is more

As I clearly stated I don't have a problem if the spoiler is aerodynamically functional used for tracking. I would be racing a RWB 90% of the time on the track.

Any Porsche fan would kill to drive one so I think your point is moot.

Here's a RWB with a subtle spoiler

haha all the revscene critics in this thread seems to be some sort of expert in motorsport, we're all enthusiasts here but show me a fast lap time at any of our west coast tracks and I'll hear you out.

You don't need to just go high speed to utilize a rear wing, I shouldn't need to explain this. It's the same people who think fwd cars don't need rear wings on the track. I kind of regret sharing the pics, so lame.

If you can't handle constructive criticism or others opinions then its probably best you don't upload pictures of your car here. Yes, where are all here because we have interest in CARS. Is a reason why I haven't shared my car yet... Until I can save up to afford a Porshce, BMW M, MB AMG thoroughbred I just post my favorite Germans allthewhile drooling over my keyboard dreaming. Endlessly watching youtube videos of top gear, chris harris and random car clips

Sorry this aint North Korea where public consencus is unanimous. If I owned a RWB and some random says that Porsche look like a fat VW Bug I couldn't give a fuck less. If you like your car thats all that matter to the car owner. In the end tastes are subjective and people gonna do what they like but don't expect everyone to like what you like.

If you haven't even posted a picture of your car, you have no right to even criticize at all. Yes the style is not to everyone's taste, but when you try to make a point with no personal benchmark to speak of, you're just as bad as that guy who talks out of his ass at meets. Yes a wing that big may seem impractical, but when supported with the right aero parts it can be effective at lower speeds. Chris Rado put a wing on the front of an FWD for fucks sake.

As for the cars, the shots were awesome, though the hearts cut into the risers of the S2K weirded me out :lol:

Don't have any regrets. Fuck the critics and wannabe racers that don't know shit. Everyone's got an opinion, whether it's valid or not. You and all the peeps you track with know what's up and that's what counts. You build your car how you like it, not how you hope others will like it.

For the record, I remember your car from the mid-2000's at PR when I was first getting into track days. Different color I believe. Your car and driving ability was certainly notable back then and I took notes for sure. Now, 10 years later, you have had the seat time to make judgement calls on what adjustments are needed to improve your lap times. That includes aero improvements. No need to justify anything. You're good to go dude :thumbsup:

Sweet pics Supman7! It is what it is...can't satisfy everyone but at least we had fun.

For those curious, Supman7 and I did this shoot ... maybe 4-5 years ago. We wanted to do it again and hopefully again in another half decade:

Updated: viNz86's Photo-blog (3/29/2010) - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums (http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/773851-updated-vinz86s-photo-blog-3292010/page__view__findpost__p__18334327)

Good post. The wing stands are hilarious. I got them made by my friend TsukubaSpec for fun. I have my voltex and j's one at home. Perhaps next time I"ll stack all three or mount the wing backwards. You guys are all way too serious, enjoy life and laugh at my car with me :D

Moving on, I have a few more pics since Supman7 covered the rest.

I'm wearing my Rob Ford Wasted shirt and Guess jenas


If we really want to get into a contest we can show off our abs, dicks, bank accounts, top 3 hottest chicks we've banged, investments, name drop famous people we're friends with


Or when someone says "Fuck that wing is too big" we can just shrug it off as diff'rent strokes


Big wing ain't my style, but I owned an S2000 and the back end was too light in high speed cornering, it really needs that wing. I never had a big wing but the ass end was planted at low speed but really loose over 120+
