Default Modding my s2k What do you think?

Well I had a turbo deal fall thru, basically the guy ripped me off for 3gs, and my stock header/intake, injectors, cat, oil pan, and map sensor, and never returned my calls. His s2ki name was j tran, and hondamarketplace name is k20delslo just a little fyi. PS His name is Gregg Omine lived in jacksonville NC, near camp lejeune, now lives in Sioux falls SD.

But when I get my cash back, along with the rest I am buying and installing these parts to my 2001 Spa S2k!

Work Emotion XD9 Rims matte bronze w/blue lugs
front=17x7.5 x 55
rear= 17x8.5 x 42
Falken Azenis
Bilenstein PSS9 Coilovers Im going to lower the car all around an inch
Cusco 4pt Roll Cage (blue)
Koyo Aluminum racing radiator
Samco Hoses
Tein Hood Dampners
C West Front Half Lip

I may throw a few guages in too. I just took my supercharger off, and am going NA for awhile and hit the track, and drive the s2000 like it was meant to be driven!

What do you guys think about the mods, and the way the car will look and perform?

The radiator will be pointless unless you have a need for better cooling, i.e. boost. If you are worried, I'd say get an aftermarket thermostat (Spoon, J's, etc.), and the stock rad will suffice. I've run track days with the stock rad, and I have not had any overheating issues whatsoever.

As for gauges, look into oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp. Wideband O2, if you really want.

As for the other stuff, it looks great!

with a +42 in the rear, I think you're going to get rubbing unless you run neg camber and/or fender rolling. I'll be running 17x7.5 +50 up front with a 225 tire, and a 17x9 +62 in the rear with either 245 or 255 tire. Keep in mind, those are very conservative offsets. You can easily fit 225/245 on a 7.5/8.5 wheel size, but the only thing I'd be concerned about is the rear wheel offset.

I've seen a few friends run with on their s2k's 17/9 with 45 offset all around. You will have to roll and slightly pull the fenders but it really looks mean! A little camber adjustment will be needed especially if you go any lower then a 1inch drop.

Is camber adjustment expensive?
