I wonder if/how this will affect max clocks, performance, etc. Looking forward to the test results.

Time to upgrade from my 420!

lol I dont have time to cable manage the back of my pc, just so long as it closes - we're good

oof

Just got these installed; COMPLETE BUSHING KIT - Q0969 | HARDRACE GLOBAL WWW.HARDRACE.COM COMPLETE BUSHING KIT - Q0969 - For AP2 Use Harden Rubber Equipped 26 PCS/SET + HARDEN ENGINE MOUNT + TRANSMISSION MOUNT - 6612-S | HARDRACE GLOBAL WWW.HARDRACE.COM HARDEN ENGINE MOUNT + TRANSMISSION MOUNT - 6612-S - Street Version 4 PCS/SET + APDIFF S2000 Differential Mount Kit – Hasport Performance HASPORTPERFORMANCE.COM Hasport replacement rear differential mount kit for the 2000-2009 Honda S2000 (AP1 & AP2). These replacement rear differential... What a world of difference this has made. The car feels so much more alive... it vibrates like a go-kart at idle too which honestly I love. edit - The shiny diff mounts:

Making me feel nostalgic about hosting servers during class in Highschool or the multitude of Quake 3 online tournies I used to play.... Honestly, online gaming has been dead to me for ages now. The only online gaming I play is co-op with friends that's PvE (eg: D4, Minecraft, etc), the odd RTS (seems like theres way less cheating there) or racing (iRacing, AC, etc). - otherwise I just focus on story-driven games. My time is too short to be playing with kids shouting into $4 alibaba headsets the latest meme words.

Has that fender been repainted? That's a lot of orange peel...

It takes around 1 hour max to change them if you take your time and make sure everything done properly (torqued to spec, copper grease on the hubs, check the PSI, clean them with a rinseless solution, etc). Plus then you get the excuse to have a change of wheels and a different look. Also, first wash of the season: (this is actually before) Glad I coated it last year, but the softtop is starting to show its age (nearly 20 years soon). Don't want to think about the cost of replacing it I've owned this car the longest so far at 3.5 years compared to 3 for my Palio (white) and 2 for my Accord (silver), which is neat. Also, I feel like my cars from here on out will always be brightly or interestingly coloured. The yellow is still really neat, and I don't foresee it getting 'old'.

Just get good I've driven in sub 0c temps with 'semi-slicks' - it's fun

The only surprise is that they didn't expect a halo product to quickly die down in interest? It has for all of their previous halo products.

Their ZMT is good, but even that I found it's just better to go with Watercool's version as it's much more pliable and doesn't harden over time.

Corsair is quickly taking over the entry-level WC business, and I feel like the higher-end stuff is becoming less niche with a select few companies establishing themselves more and more in that space. Those that already go with Watercool, Optimum, etc., the 'bougie' stuff, wouldn't likely go back in a hurry to EK. And the entry-level anything business is always super competitive and has even less brand loyalty. EK has been losing customers from both, and if this is how they handle things internally - I don't see them ever correcting either path. They have long been charging premium prices for mid-range products, and while we all hoped they'd right their ways... I don't think it's going to happen.

I'm planning on getting some RE71RS after these, AD08Rs just arent worth the cost/performance. They look mega neat, and I got them for free so can't complain.

Lol and my AD08Rs are going to actually get too old versus wear down on tread. I guess I'm just much gentler on tyres
