FIPK II is a good choice, even with only a small gain.

As suzuka-blue mentioned earlier, the 70mm TP is ok if you plan on going bigger exhaust later on (if you do, I can recommend the Invidia Q300 dual that I have and love, along with the 70mm Invidia TP with CEL fix). Otherwise get one closer to the stock exhaust size ~63.5mm (might even look at a High Flow Cat if you have to take your car through inspection).

A cooling plate is not bad but really more for show than anything else. It does clean up the enginge bacy after installing a FIPK (I have one as well).

Definitely save up for gears (which is what I am now saving for) and will come in handy when I go FI.

Otherwise, go the cosmetic route with a spoiler, splitter, CF hood or trunk, new audio setup, new seats/seat covers, etc.

Good luck and have fun with it!

^gears really won't come in handy when you are boosted. Usually hurt much more than help when boosted fyi.

That's exactly what I was about to say. When boosted you want the gears as long as possible, and I know of a few S2000's that actually went down to a 3.9 gear ratio from the stock 4.10 because they were pushing over 500hp and the longer gears will benefit them more.

You could save up another $100 and do this:

What would I do? A track day. I'd rather spend money on things that I can use my whole life. Throwing money into the car is stupid. It could get stolen or wrecked, then you're screwed. Spend money on yourself.
