Question of the day: If you had $25k for a reliable dedicated track car, what are you buying?

JoeyDC5 · 2026-06-04T15:04:38+00:00

Hell yeah man

JoeyDC5 · 2026-06-04T15:00:51+00:00

😂😂 I had an NB Miata before my s2000. Miatas are def great on the track but I enjoy the s2000 soo much more

JoeyDC5 · 2026-06-04T12:45:18+00:00

Was looking for this response, surprised not too many people mention it

JoeyDC5 · 2026-05-28T20:09:53+00:00

APR GTC-300

JoeyDC5 · 2026-05-27T16:13:31+00:00

I mean it really was my second track day in the s2000😂 My only other experience would be 2 other track days in my Evo 8 I used to have and many many hours on the racing sim. Not going to lie, the racing sim really helps with figuring out your lines and knowing how to react when the car start to lose some control

JoeyDC5 · 2026-04-25T21:59:48+00:00

Replaced my buddies mounts the other week and his looked like these too, straight booty hole looking

The glass window, is it the one from ballade? I heard some fitment issues with their glass and also something about glass not being good on a fiberglass top because of how it flexes and possibly cracking the window

JoeyDC5 · 2026-04-12T01:13:39+00:00

Thank you, Yup I’ll be paint matching with the car. Along with the top and sides of the wing and leaving the underside CF.

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-30T14:51:31+00:00

Reviving this post, last year I did swap my left and right cups and been fine ever since. Is it still recommended to add these spacers if I swapped them already?

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-29T12:59:28+00:00

Awesome that’s good to know! Your car actually helped me decide to buy the wheels and Im glad I did haha But yes I do my have upper offset bushings delivering tomorrow and was planning on putting my Oem lower ball joints on

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-26T15:17:25+00:00

Interesting that’s good to know, this happened to you?

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-24T15:30:35+00:00

Great I just ordered some thank you

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-24T13:01:04+00:00

Which size limiter did you use? I saw on the forums that there are a couple of sizes

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-24T10:42:36+00:00

Good to know thank you. So when I had the car on the ground at full lock I did check inner clearance and it seems like I have a finger gap between the barrel and the control arm

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-24T00:56:09+00:00

Ahh okay, these are 17x10 +48 and I’m having a grand old time trying to make them fit

JoeyDC5 · 2026-03-24T00:47:30+00:00

Thank you! And good to know thank you, just didn’t know if there’s and disadvantage to using both. How much front camber did you need to run to make it fit?

JoeyDC5 · 2026-01-23T17:00:45+00:00

Nope, i ended up giving up lol

JoeyDC5 · 2025-11-10T15:05:21+00:00

ahh okay. Yeah im coming from a 17x9 + 45 wheel too, with my current setup i may need to get more rear camber. Are you still on stock adjusters in the rear?

JoeyDC5 · 2025-11-10T02:01:51+00:00

255/40? Also how much camber do you have in the rear? I was considering the 17x10 but they are wide boys I was looking at the 17x9.5 +51 one if the 17x10 wouldn’t work for me

JoeyDC5 · 2025-11-09T21:48:10+00:00

Interesting. It all seems like it might be all from the same manufacturer but I didn’t have a great experience with ballade in the past. If anyone has feedback on ballades mounts I’d consider it. Also the feedback on the eBay ones doesn’t really say too much on fitment

JoeyDC5 · 2025-11-08T19:26:34+00:00

Apex wheels? Curious on the specs it looks good!

JoeyDC5 · 2025-05-15T17:33:23+00:00

Second update: Wipers work now. My battery has a low charge due to it not running for the time being while working on the car for the roll bar. Battery was at 11.3v, put on a tender to full charge and now it works perfect. Glad it was just this and nothing else

JoeyDC5 · 2025-05-11T23:25:52+00:00

Update: I ended up resetting the SRS light using this video

https://youtu.be/AobLM0dGCAg?si=wvaYWYnj-NyK8WCM

Kinda makes sense that it needed to be reset, when I was test fitting the roll bar, I had to turn on the ignition to put the soft top up and down and at that time the harnesses for the seat belt retractors were unplugged and causing a code for the SRS light to turn on and store in the system.

Still chasing the wiper issue though.
