A 1000 dollars? Man thats monopoly money. I'm messing with you.


I'd go with gears if you care about performance.

If you do ur own install with the gears you can prob get an AEM V2 too.

Gears will run around 800 with everythign needed to install and install will run 500 or more depending where you go.

If you get the 4.77 even cheaper you can prob have the gears kit+ install for around 1k.

Heck it never ends, but first id make sure that the car was up to at least stock specs(comp. test, tune-up, etc...), then change the oil and all the appropriate fluids using good quailty fluids to protect what you bought in the first place already, then start sliding down tht slippery slope of aftermarket upgrades... jst my $.02 worth...

350 dollar megan header, V2 around 250 shipped, test pipe 100 and invidia exhaust 600.

so 1300-1400 pretty much intake/header/exhaust

heh this be the cheap way to do it.

GET COILOVERS!!!! no doubt that you'll enjoy that the most. if you can save a little more, go for the tein rs's or ra's. i hve the rs's and it completely changed the way that car handles. i thought it was outstanding out of the box, but adding the coilover kit turned that car into a beast, at least in the corners!

I would spend it on drugs, then get high and spend the rest on hookers.

I under stand the hi cost of S2000 parts but if i would have said $5000 the game would not have been as fun.

Gears Gears Gears, thats all people talk about so i guess there is something to it but i can find anyone to install it. one guy told me strait up, " man... i dont want to do that". I live in Charlotte NC, any one know a good dif man?
