I need AT LEAST coilovers and brakes.

I'll also have a test-pipe and the new banjo bolts installed.

And a seat (just one again this year )

And my freshly anti-blinged goodies.

And possibly a new air filter setup.

And the list goes on...

Coming from the 3rd Gen RX7 world, I'm quite spoiled to the $ to HP ratio. With the S, I just can't seem to bring myself to justify the upgrades.

With that being said, the only performance mod that I am doing is adding a modified adjustable Saner front sway bar.

Now for the non-performance side here is what I've added since the '04 Dragonball Run:
-Aftermarket stereo system (with Infinity separates, 12" JBL Sub)
-Flat Truck Cover (removeal of the spare tire buldge)
-Rick's camera mount (between the seats)
-Illuminated Yellow "H" emblems (purchased at Deal's Gap)
-LED Windscreen
-GTech Pro (measure the G's the Dragon challenges us with)

-Dave
[edit: added LED Windscreen]

^ have you looked into gears? It's the best bang for the buck mod. Having the 4.77 made the dragon twice as fun...really shoots you out of the corners.

Good point! I forgot about that... It is very tempting, but I want to eventually autoX my S in AS. If I decide to continue to autoX my CRX and invest in it, I would consider this mod.

Thanks for the friendly reminder.

Cool huh?

This was an early Valentine's Day present from my wife.

I found a place that sells older models for ~$35.

Gtec is a waste of money IMHO.
