I don't race a lot to begin with but racing at hight speeds is not my thing. When I start to get up there it seems too dangerous for me and gets me nervous as hell
damn, wish I were as responsible as you! I usually go until the other guy gives up. Maybe I should seek counceling, do you normally just race to 75?

Red Blur -

Ya okay, i'm glad there are others as irresponsible as I(hmmmm)...how do you like your Spoon exhaust? Is it silenced? Did you notice a difference with it in your street encounters?:

Definitely noticed a difference with the exhaust. Cars I used to be dead even with, I now pull in every gear. The sound is sweet but is loud. And the S2K being my only car, it sometimes gets to be a pain a bit, but the silencer is great. Takes literally a minute to throw in, and makes it sound stock. I still like the way duel exhasuts look, but from what I've read & heard they really don't give any HP gain. Are you thinking of getting one?

Yea i'm seriously considering the entire line of spoon products. I want the exhaust to scream! Doesn't really bother me that it's one pipe i've heard from alot of people it's the best for the s2000. How is the retail on that N1 system anyways i'm guessing ~ $900. Also I won't have my s2000 for a little while, but i'm so excited to be getting it, i'm already deciding which parts will be the best for me.

Then you'll love this exhaust. It's in that ballpark price wise. Contact Mingster and I'm sure he'll hook you up (that's who I got mine from). I think I'm pretty much going spoon down the line also, although that Mugen intake just looks amazing! What color S2K are you getting?

I heard with the Mugen intake you have to cut the hood or something though, I just think the s2000 is so well balanced to begin with I don't wanna mess with it too too much. I like the Spoon header and throttle body too, know anything about those? I decided on silverstone metallic, or maybe sebring silver for '02?? Hopefully i'll have it one week from today which is my birthday and would be a nice treat. Down the line i'd love to build the head, port the shit out of it! Just mainly looking for solid *reliable* mods!
