rioyellows2k on the s2000 forum made me a good deal on their blue S2000 CR. Feels real good in the corners on the sticky street tires. Can't wait to see how it does on R's
SUHWHEET!!! :clap:Quote:

Wow, is that thing official for AS next season? Those are beautiful, saw the very one a while back.
Thanks guys, I traded in the yellow car.
CosmosMpower,
Yes they are in AS next season at least for now. After driving it I think it may get moved if it is as fast as I think, but it is hard to tell how much is just the sticky tires.
Get these for the Elise, http://racequiet.com/. I had them for the S2000 when I had the single Ti on it.
Nice on the S2000 CR.
Hmm Houston on 1/6. I might try to make it out to ECR.
42 db noise reduction is a bit hard to believe. Even the best in ear headphones ($400 shures etc) only block 25 db max and I believe in ear phone earplugs are mid 30's. Did those really work as good as advertised? I just bought a set of Ultimate Ears Pro fi 5 IEMs, haven't tried them in the car yet.Quote:

That is really the way to go. the custom ones I had would block the sound of a very large caliber rifle with a muzzle break.Quote:

Personally, I'm a big fan of disposable foam earplugs. I keep several sets in my work jacket, and I wear them religiously when I'm out on a machine at work. If I drop one down a blasthole it doesn't cost me anything, which wouldn't be the case with $400 custom ones. :wink:
