Greetings!

I worked my employer to include the purchase of a s2000 in my compensation package. The purchase will take place in October. I'm already putting some dough aside for my first set of mods.

You have $2000 to spend of your first set of mods. What would you buy?

thanks!

first of all, who is your employer? can i get a job there?

I would get...

1. Mingster aeroscreen : $89
2. Mingster dead pedal : $43
3. JR filter: $64

LOL that was pretty blatant.

Save up another few hundred and get the Mugen header and exhaust combo.

Don't forget Rick Hesel's wonderful leather accessories as well as the Muz Mat.

Forget the small stuff... for two grand you can get 18 inch wheels, and if you can spend three, I would get wheels, new springs, and an X and strut bar.

Performance mods. P-Flow TB bore, Mugen Header, JR filter. That should take care of close to your 2,000 add the STB and X brace and your golden!

The interior accesories are nice. If you live in the cold climate the Boot shifter with the bootie that goes on the top is a must!

Get a windscreen, the JR filter, and maybe some full-coverage floor mats...that's all you really need. Unlike other cars, most perf mods don't don't offer much (if any) bang-for-the-buck. Honda really did a nice job with this car!!

I think he means the Rick Hesel Shifter Boot and Knob sock.
