Get a set of AP1 wheels and mount some winter tires if you plan to drive at all this winter.

I'm going to be grabbing a set of AP1 wheels from a Craigslist guy this week, and mounting some Blizzak WS-60 tires up for the winter.
Comptech Icebox is going to be ordered soon (once I have more cash...kinda broke from the downpayment, lol).

Dude I bought my 2005 S2K from the same dealership on september 29th a couple days before you, I remember looking at that one along with a black and red one. So what made you go with the silver one?

I got an 05 S2k 1 year ago, I hope you enjoy it, I sure do.
Don't listen to people that say you wont gain anything from a CAI.
Take that big OEM intake box out! The right CAI will give you some power, better sound, less heat soak, less weight and better MPG! I went with the K&N typhoon and removed the front fake vent. There is a risk of water locking but I don't drive in the rain and my CAI came with a water boot.
And yes, there are Dynos to prove it!
Also, you will love the extra room you have in your engine bay with the stock air box out. you can change your oil without even lifting the car! The drain plug and filter can be seen and reached so easy with the stock box out. Just get a low drain pan.
I would also consider a test pipe. Honda made it so easy to swap it in and out with the cat why would you not. You will like the sound and top end power the T.P. gives you. The smell sucks a bit but if you can live with it...
A tune should get you a little more out of these mods but that starts to cost more $. That along with a header and maybe a cat-back will be my next move.
Oh yeah, while your clutch is still good (if it is) do the CDV mod. It was easy and will save your clutch.
Anyway, I don't want to get into it but you can gain from a few inexpensive mods. Not as much as cheaper N/A cars but the F20/22 is a well tuned engine as is.
