Looks good! Is the S2000 wheel larger?

Nope. Same outer dimensions, the inner dimensions vary slightly, so it feels different holding it. The swap really was a cinch, pop it off, replace the air bag, pop back on and screw it in.

I'll take a picture of the two side-by-side when I get home.

So my son had a better tank in Dr. Horrible (f.k.a. Turtle) than I ever had when I owned it!

Good job, son! Now I have to step up my hypermiling techniques and add a couple of mods to my own, lol!

With three Insights in the family, it's always at the back of my mind when I'm driving that I have competition right down the street!

RockAuto is having a closeout on OEM downstream O2 sensors and sepentine belts for our cars. $12 for an O2 sensor has be considering buying one as a spare.

Nice!

Man, put some links on here! I'm too lazy to look through Rock Auto's site for them! I might stock up at that price, even though I hat Rock Auto's site..

Ordered belts and o2 sensors. You're the man, Ecky

And thanks, Dad. Keep it up and I'll have a new number to
shoot for. I'm hoping this route will do as good for me as I-4.

Sweet, I'm gonna be sporting a new O2 sensor, serpentine belt and brake pads shortly!

When I do my brakes I'm going to figure out which drag redux clips will fit good and order some like I had on Black Widow.

Be sure to cut the rotors when you do your brakes so you don't get the wobbly wobbly when you try to brake.

I pretty much don't use the brakes, and once I get my regen button installed on Ron Burgundy, my braking will drop to almost zero, so the new pads will pretty much be for show. Haven't looked at the rotors yet, but hopefully I won't need to get them turned
