Roxy - the RX-8: July 2007
http://roxy-rx8.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Roxy - the RX-8. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. I spent a little bit of time on Saturday playing GT4 and trying out Fuji Speedway. Considering I've got the 180 kmph limiter, I figured that I'd be happy with a 2'20 time on the real thing. I drove as I always drive now with DSC completely off. The first lap, really took me back. It was such a long course, the hills constant corners making for a really technical experience. It had just about everything and the F1 is going to be really exciting there. The following...

Feather King's Adventures: November 2007
http://featherking.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 18, 2007. The Feather King is BACK! After a very long delay. The Featherking is back! It has been such a long time since i've made a post, all this will seem like very old news. For those getting caught up, i decided on getting the Laguna Blue 2008 AP2. Unfortunately, in 2008 the V-Type is not offered, so i went went the standard model. the S-type seemed a bit too Bling for me. Quite amazing all this computer controlled stuff.

Feather King's Adventures: 2008 S2000 CR video
http://featherking.blogspot.com/2007/09/2008-s2000-cr-video.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2007. 2008 S2000 CR video. I just found a video clip of the new 2008 S2000 CR. The Club Racer (CR) version is what the US version is being called. The Japan version is being called the Type-S. Here you can see the Gumball Blue color. (which I really dislike). and it also shows the new interior color scheme that is only available on the Type S (black and yellow). I don't think the JDM Type-S version comes with the hard cover behind the rear seats. I think this is a CR option only.

Feather King's Adventures: July 2007
http://featherking.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. Well, I am pretty much convinced that I need to get the 2008 S2000 AP2. Since Honda stopped taking orders on the 2007 Model. Final pricing and order taking for the 08M won't happen until mid-late August. Order in August and I should be able to take delivery in October. (Hopefully there won't be any more large earthquakes to stop auto production). I need help from anybody/everybody that is reading this. My problem is deciding on the exterior color and top combination. This actually ...

Feather King's Adventures: Let the MODS begin!
http://featherking.blogspot.com/2007/12/let-mods-begin.html
Saturday, December 8, 2007. Let the MODS begin! With nearly 500 kilometers on the odometer. I got Fuji Speedway planned for tomorrow morning. (should have another 100 kilometers by the time i get to fuji). Since I am just got back today from London. I figured that would be plenty of time to get my sway bar that I kept from my AP1 installed on the new AP2. I started about 9pm, and after a couple hours, it was all in and working well. I finished up just in time before the rain started. Toyo Proxes R1R Tires.

Roxy - the RX-8: Wet Race - TC2000 08/01/12
http://roxy-rx8.blogspot.com/2008/01/wet-race-tc2000-080112.html
Roxy - the RX-8. Saturday, January 12, 2008. Wet Race - TC2000 08/01/12. Arrived in Tsukuba TC2000 all dry. No rain. Whippee! First qualification session was 8 minutes. But it involved the safety car for the first lap so unexpectedly we only had two laps. I managed to make a bit of room for myself on the first lap and then got a 1'20 on the second lap. I'm not sure if I could have gone faster though as the. The start was pretty cool although I messed it up. I could only watch as two cars overtook me ...

Left weight 1637lbs 50.2%. Right weight 2067lbs 63%. Front weight 1188lbs 36.5%. The last section must be mislabeled though. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thunderhill 2:10.6, 3/27/10, RE11.
