I think the F22C is a pretty well built so instead of making more power why not putting more power to the ground. That's what I thought so drivetrain only.

Mad JDM! Those parts are sweet!

If you're going to track the car, listen to your wife and dump the parts. You will need the cash for driving school/track time, Hoosier/Toyo/Yoko race tires, dedicated race wheels, extra brake pads/fluids for the track, extra brake rotors if you warp 'em, Snell-approved race helmet, Takata harnesses to hold you in your seats, and either Mugen/Bitterman/Elda roll bar/full race cage if you get good enough.

Wouldn't the 4.3 final drive gear actually slow you down since you have an F22?

i believe the '04+ S2000 still has a 4.1 final drive gear, so the 4.3 will still increase acceleration on these cars. i think it was some mid-gear and/or gears 1-4 that have a changed gear ratio vs. the pre-'04s
