Default finally got my s2k :D

so im glad to say, im finally a s2k owner...well kinda, as soon as i register it lol. the model i have is 2000 s2000 with 41,000 miles on the body and engine. i understand that its an ap1 and these cars fishtail so easily. so...really my question is if i work really hard on the suspension, would it affect it anyway? so i want my first mod to be an exhaust, but i dont want those wack ricey exhaust where you can hear me 324r324 miles away. where i can i start looking for a stock looking exhaust but would add somewhat of a gain. thanks again everyone.

duck.

They have been know to fishtail. Be sure your tires are warmed up, don't shift during a turn, ect - the early years tend to be more unforgiving to inexperienced drivers. Have fun cool guy.

^^^ Very true once you get the feel for the car you won't fishtail anymore. I lost my rear end once around a turn when I first got my s, but after almost 4 years of ownership I haven't lost my rear end to date on the streets(not including at the track where I suck )
