For me, motor mounts made the car feel that much better while driving.
which ones did you get? thanks in advance.
I ended up with the Ballade Sports motor mounts, which was supposed to be similar to the Innovative 75A.

Hoist, Electric, for hard top

Unfortunately, it is not installed at this time. I hope to tackle that project soon. I got it from the guy I bought the hard top from, and he had it hooked up so that only one person was needed to operate the hoist and lift or lower the hardtop by themselves.

Haha! I bought a hoist for my ht as well, but haven't installed it either. The hoist has a hook but I'm not sure how I will attach it to my ht yet.

Really want to do this one and going to look into it. My center console is always locked and the key fob won't open the trunk with the key in the ignition so I have to shut the car off to pop the trunk. One of my biggest gripes, so this would be great.

My fav mod so far was finishing my stereo. Sony HU w/ upgraded components, a Hertz High energy 4ch and a beefy JL shallow sub mounted in a fiberglass corner box. Sounds great and hits hard with the top down on the highway still.

^Snip the wire (diy somewhere on s2ki) so you can use the key fob to open the trunk, even when the car is on.

Here's the thread to enable opening the trunk with the key in the ignition: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/314...is-in-ignition

I did it last night and you can pull the pins without cutting the wire. Google these terms: "how to remove honda connector pins" without quotes and you'll find videos and diagrams showing how to do it.
