I like the idea of a 17" wheel best from your list (that's my vote), but what I'd really like to see standard is a passenger airbag kill switch.

17" wheels would definitely be nice; however...

HEATED SEATS would be the best upgrade imo! imagine a night time cruise while staying warm and toasty!

Don't mess with the radio controls, but put mold guages in the dash above the radio.

I'm on the tall side and the first thing I wished the S2000 had had when I first drove one was a tilt steering wheel. With the seat as far aft and tilted as far as it will go, the top of the steering wheel is "right at" the level of the tachometer, for me. I can still see the tach but it's not 100% visible. If the steering wheel were just 1/2 inch higher, it wouldn't be an issue. I would also appreciate the extra clearance between the steer wheel and my legs. Is all this a big problem? No, but it would be nice.

I also agree with the gauges idea. This is a high performance engine and I've NEVER liked idiot lights. Heated seats sound "real" good too!

Drive Safe,
Steve R.

Perfect location.

At least:

Water Temp, Oil Pressure, Volts (or Amp), Clock.

I'd like digital but analog would be fine too.

Leave the tachometer, speedometer and fuel gauge as is. Put an outside air temp readout where one of the idiot lights is now. Leave the radio controls alone.

all about the gauges....unfortunately I am forced to cut the dash or mold along my windshield....I would rather them be in a mold above the speedo though.... It's easier to look down and keep going straigh then it is to look to your left and squint (at least in my case..) to see what the readouts are...

actually, i wouldn't mind a driver seat that has height adjustments. imo, the s2k seating position is just a tad too high. oh yeah, a 5 point harness wouldn't be bad either...at least seats with the holes where you can install one. also, (i know some of you will flame me for this), but an optional quick shifting 6 or 7 speed sequential shifter would be the perfect final touch to making the s2k feel like an F1 racer. and, yeah, 10,000 rpm...
