Many of us make the mistake to mod the hell out of our car then later find if we want to be even remotely competitive we have to unmod our car which can be super expensive. You sound "new" to racing at AutoX. If you are still in your first year of racing in AutoX then don't spend a dime on any more mods. I was told this and didn't listen; but here it goes. In the beginning you don't know sh*t around a track; no matter what you think. It takes serious time to get down to where you bring your skills to a level that you can utilize modifications. If you need further proof, grab the fastest mother Fer at your AutoX and have them set a hot lap time in your car. Be amazed at how long it takes to get that close. When you can drive repeated AutoX sessions and your consistently within .1 sec each lap your definitely ready for playing with car setup. If you can't be consistent then you have no idea if your modification helped you or damaged you.

But if you MUST blow some cash; tires then brake pads. For tires Star Spec, RE-11a....yada yada. Make sure they dont bump you into a crazy class. The reason classing is important as it's fun running with guys who are competition with you and you are competition with them. Boring to get your @$$ handed to you by cars seconds faster than you and you will never get close to. Sounds like you have a awesome setup if you were classed with 4 S2k's.
Good stuff man. I have been told that the best improvement you can make in auto x is yourself. The AP1 that took 1st place beat the other S2Ks by 2 seconds and was bone stock. Just a great driver. Gotta work on my skills!

i woulnt worry about vtec autoXing, Tires and Brakes are gonna get you the best times. i have FlashPro vtec at 5200, but also have a somewhat prepared autoX car. HP+ PADS Slotted rotors, BC ER type coils, some good ol rpfs and most important tires RE11A. racing fluids also help for wear and tear rbf brake and clutch fluid and motul in tranny and diff. and driver mod. i autoXed yesterday had the 8th fastest time out of 64 in my class. beat a lot of boosted cars as well as a boosted S, and a few V8s. like he said its all about being smooth

Get a Hondata Flashpro, and have Gernby E-Tune it. I autocross my car, and I have also done 13 track days on my car with his E-tune with zero problems. My car feels awesome!

Stay on Stock suspension and maximize you as a driver. This is a very capable car stock as you learned.

I got the FlashPro and tuned it with the Toda tune based on my current mods until I can get Gernby to do the tune. I also installed the KWv3 coilovers. The Flashpro just with the Toda tune is already noticeably better. The car is smoother and there is a definite increase in mid-range power. I auto-x on Sunday so we'll see how I compare to the other S2000's I've been going up against. Honestly though, my driving skills need the most work, but having the increased performance helps to compensate for my poor driving
