for those of you who dont know me, i like to throw practicality out the window and enjoy eating A032s in 5000km.

I am an avid auto-xr and enjoy track days in cal, seattle.

i sold my "track special dc5" cause it was too slow:<

This is my daily driver, but i dont drive much at all so i can afford to have camber, mediocre rpm idling, etc.

I plan to eventally make this into a full out track only car one day, but until then plan to keep radios, interiors, etc.

...cant wait to go to pacific (cant make may:< thinking aug)

I'd scratch the comptech cold air intake off the list and keep it stock. No intakes have shown any appreciable gains that I've seen... ontop of that, my CF lid fits like crap. Had to do some dremel work and rig it up to get it to look decent. If you absolutely have to have an intake, I'd look at the J's chamber system, but they're insanely expensive.

Headers in general dont seem to do all that much for NA also. I think J's racing will give you some slight top end gains and the mugen/ricks header will give you some slight improvements in the mid range.

Good luck with whatever you go with.

^yup intake and Headers are somewhat non-priorities given the $/return on them...

nope...NA...IMHO s2k's are NA cars through and through. Im fine with 200 hp and like to focus on handling/stopping/reliability/heat issues more.
