Hey guys, I just graduated and got a good sum of money from it. I am wondering what i should do to a stock s2000 first? If you guys could give me some help on this i would appriciate it.
FYI. got around 1200 to spend been lookin at the invidia exhaust and a voltage regulator, but just tell me what you guys think

Thanks,

what are you planning to do with your s2000? all motor or FI? if you're going FI you should save up your money some more. if you're going all motor, i'd start with an intake and exhaust. it'll fit your budget depending on what you're looking at. the invidias are around 600-$800 and there are intakes that are expensive and brand name ie mugen, j's, spoon, that cost $1k and on the other side of that there are also cheaper more affordable ones like the k&n i'm sporting. good luck on your mods

Well the s2000 is for right now goin to be my collage car so i want to make it sound good and look good, but when i get outta school i want to do a motor swap and then go FI because my motor already has about 55000 miles on it. Would it be better to go with the single or duel exhaust kit? i have herd some say both ways but what are your guy's opinions

lotta people say single makes more power because it doesnt have the part where the exhaust splits. i believe em. its also loud as hell.. then again you should probably wait for someone that actually has an exhaust to talk... i just go by what i hear around here >.<

I/E first is usually the way to go if your just itching to mod.

As for a motor swap? why? your motor is plenty fine to F/I.

Dual or Single can both make minimal gains..but a Single will give you the extra 1-2 hp. The cosmetic look is subjective. Some people prefer the single slant were others prefer the dual exit.

Drop the voltage regulator from your list of mods... add that when you don't have anything else left to mod.

JMO.

4.44 or 4.56 gears is a better mod unless you're going for looks and sound.

I just purchased the AEM V2 intake, the buddy club spec III cat back exhuast, and an invidia test pipe... I think that should get me started.
Can't Wait!!

hardtopguy sells them, you could probably buy them and have them installed for around a grand. Buts it one of the only mods you will actually feel.
