Default best wife ever

Well my wife told me that I could have $1000 of our tax return as play money for the s2k! I know right? So many choices, so little time! I really don't care 2 much about body mods... I love the look of the factory body lines... Don't need wheels... I was thinkin about a limited slip, ar a super diff... Any power adders would be nice... If u guys have any suggestions or ideas let me know, and perhaps where the best place 2 get them is?


Thanks, eric

4.44 gear installed would be somewhere in the $1000 range. www.hardtopguy.com can hook you up, give Jeff a call.

If its noise with little performance gain you want then I recommend intake and exhause. Youtube is a good place to get an idea of sound. Once again, intakes tend to dyno only 3-9hp, exhause is worth 3-7hp depending on how loud you want it. Don't expect the hp to stack ( intake 9 hp + exhaust 7 hp = 16hp ) it doesn't work like that.



Seriously, go for gears if you want to be noticed for performance...

Go for exhaust and intake if you want to be notice for sound.

I have one in my car...

Its a must on the S2000.

I am wanting to stick with stock. I will sell you my limited slip for $800 + your stock diff. assuming your diff is in good working order.

Pure EVIL I say

I'll sell him my LS for $400 exchanged for his diff, and do the swap for him!

I'll even have the job finished while he is running to the store for Beer

What he said . And I am all stock and keeping it that way. But for the money gears seem to be the best money spent. It "will" make the car quicker. You will have a higher RPM on the highway, so if you do a lot of DD you need to think about it but for the money that is probably the best bang for the buck.

OOh just a thought...the best mod for this car is a AutoX or driving school. The best mod for this car is the driver.

Good luck.
