we have one for our shop evo, put it on and took it off... other than you cant mis-shift there really is no point. H pattern still works better 
Dont think that system would work any good with teh S2000 gearbox.

we have teh best H-pattern in the world so either a real sequentiell transmission or leave it like it is!
Yes the car has a nice feeling trans, but the pattern is way to close together.
I would agree though that a full sequential is the way to go, but that's 10K minimum and more like 15k.

We've installed this into the NSX.
The S2000 would be much more difficult since the gear selector passes directly into the transmission from the top. I don't know where they expected to mount the unit if they indeed plan on making this for the S2000.
However, that being said - in our experience, this shifter is extremely rough on the transmission. The shifter removes much of the "feedback" that your hand contributes during shifting to reduce syncro wear. As you shift, your hand adds or reduces force on the gear selector depending on how the syncros and gears are meshing. The Ikeya shifter "forces" the gear selection to happen. In our experience, this has resulted in dramatic acceleration of syncro wear. On top of this, the gear selection is slower compared to performing it in a normal H pattern.
A neat concept, but nothing like a purpose built sequential shifter.

A sequential dog-box is the only way I would do this. A hack is going to offer nothing but pain.
