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.
But you said you want a scary fast S2000 ?? Not going to happen normally aspirated unfortunately. A 4.57 ring & pinion is probably your best investment if not interested in forced induction.

i would have to say the same as everyone else.

Go with some good coilover's ( i'm going with the kw variant 3's ) and maybe exhaust if you want some nice sound and weight savings.

Bumpsteer kit i've been looking into it but haven't decided.

You are running the stock stagger so you don't really have to get the front swaybar.

If you don't want to go boost maybe the gears will be good as well for pulling you out of the low speed corners without having to downshift.

Have Fun

Please elaborate as I suspect my opinion of scary fast and what that entails is vastly different then yours. I would also like to see your scary fast performance in a Fit.

simply in that you dont need 300hp to be scary fast...ive driven 160hp scary fast civics which when prepared right can stay with 250hp.

i think the s2000 is well balanced WRT power, weight, handling....and yes i want to enhance it all, but NA and 200-220WHP is enough for me (for now haha...)

id take a well prepared 210whp NA s2000 than a 300whp decently prepared s2000 anyday of the week.

Get some Bilstein or Zeal Function B6 coilovers. Anything else and you'll get rocked and shocked.

S2k's stock brakes are more than good enough, IMO upgrading them before you upgrade to some serious power is just a waste of cash.. Maybe go for better pads and fluid, but the stock system is very good.

I hear good things about the K&N FIPK intake -- improved throttle response, and it's one of the few intakes that's actually shown to consistently make power. That, and Comptech is out of business so you may have a hard time finding their intake.

If I were redoing my suspension, I'd probably get a custom valved job from Showa... But you have to know someone who works there to get em

I agree on the brakes... stock is about as good as it gets.

stainless steel lines (if you want a firmer pedal feel) with new pads and fluid... and you're set.

You're going with the Endless CC-X pads? I am having a hard time deciding what pads I want that offer better performance without creating a shitload of brakedust.
