One more post. 2018 plans. So I can come back to this later and see all the things I did not do.
Veronica:
* Suspension. KW ClubSports are dizone after 7 years of abuse. Will stick with coilovers but want to go back to something without camber plates up front to reduce NVH. Also possibly play with spring rates, 700# and 1100# probably aren't the best for rallyx even though I have done well in the car as is.
* Brakes. the whole system needs a refresh, rotors, pads, fluid. Nothing fancy here, stock size rotors, street/autox pads, RBF600.
* What I really want from this car is a complete season of rallyx. I am confident I can win P4 for the year locally and if I can make it to Tours or Nats, do reasonably well if I keep the car in one piece.
* Rally tires if I can find get my hands on some 17s, otherwise, I'll stick with snows. The set I've been using at rallyx since 2013 are finally about dead
Heather:
* Nothing planned outside of necessary routine maintenance. STR is too much of a money pit. We'll see how much I autox it this year in BS. I am content to drive it around with the top down and enjoy the VTEC sounds. The thought of selling it has crossed my mind but it is paid for, I like having a convertible and nothing that I could pay cash for or justify a reasonable payment for compels me enough for a change.
* On second though, I wouldn't mind taking care of the paint issues on the front fenders and hood. Thanks SCCA stickers.
* Probably a third trip to the tail. I say probably because of car choice considerations, not because I am considering not going.
Hanna:
* Ride the damn thing. I have a couple of mods in mind, but I am ignoring that part of my brain because, well, I should ride the damn thing. I would like to get to a comfort level to do a track day at Harris Hill this year.
Unnamed, non running, old ass Honda SS50:
* Who knows. At least it is in a garage now. I think it needs a new engine and trans and I've casually shopped for options. $400 and some wrench turning and it could be stupid fun.
Man, that list is actually kind of boring.
I have no idea what I’m doing with any of my things ATM.

Using officially recommended VW repair methods here. A/C working like a champ again.
S2000 #sojdm style open glovebox, because:
I rarely used it before it broke, I'm not paying $200+ for a new door, and I'm not interested in waiting for a cheaper one to arrive on a boat from China. (Thanks, though,
for the ebay recommendations.
OEM seats cleaned up and back in business. Used the heated seats last night for the first time in 7 years. OMG.
Airbag light is the only remaining issue and will be easy to clear. I think because I drove with the seat belt on the passenger side unplugged it threw a hard code. Once I clear it, should be fine.
Can't see it in these photos, but the new center console is in there and what a difference. The soft touch plastic does not age well. If I wanted to light money on fire I'd replace some other pieces because man that stuff flakes away.

No plans, they are on a shelf. It just made sense to have this car be a useable 4 seater and, in the end, the weight does not make that much difference in rallyx. And yeah, much more comfort.
If you or someone you know where interested in buying the Corbeaus, I'm listening. No plans for them to go into the S2K or anything else.

I had a dream last night that I impulse bought an S2K and ended up severely regretting the decision.

There's old car problems, and then there's you should've been smart enough to notice said problems during inspection and walk away.
Old car problems assumes a certain level of acceptance, because old car.

I think it was my dream-mind's way of telling to just buy an ND.

I'd really like to drive an RF and the roadster in anger, back-to-back to see if there's really an perceptible handling differences.

Realistically probably a year or so from making a decision. One car or two, keep the FiST or not, what about a new motorcycle, etc..
