Default Getting S2K by christmas...1st mod?

Right now I own a 2003 Acura RSX base model automatic. Ive had it for a little over a year, but have no had good luck with it AT ALL. I wrecked it (head on collision), had 2 tickets, and several little dings and other mishaps like getting hit in a parking lot and the person leaving so I got a nice little surprise when i went out to my car to leave.

My dad wants to trade ti in for something else, as a graduation present. He said he'd trade it for an S2000 so im like YEAH!

Anyways, to the point of the topic...what should my first mod be. I have enought money saved up for turbo becuase i was saving up money to try to drop a Type R motor into my RSX, but i was wondering if it would be worth the cash to buy turbo. and if i did, which would be the best one for me AND what else would i have to replace on the car? I know that sounds a little weird, but I dont know too much about turbo or anything. so i figured I'd do some research before i just went out and bought something that SUCKED.

Thanks.

Oh brother.

I want to be the first to predict another wrecked S2000 thread in the near future.

So, monkey, how many RWD cars have you owned?

By the sound of it (from your RSX experience), your first mod should be a roll of bubble wrap around the car.

Seriously, though, I agree that a driving course is the best "bang for your buck" at this point.

Don't listen to these old farts spoutin' their doom and gloom, man, some things never change.

Look, you don't need a driving school, you need extra cash for tires after you wear the first set out within 3,000 miles .

If you really want to know the "best" first mod hang out in the "Under the Hood" Forum for a few weeks.

First and foremost, be careful, the S2000 doesn't actually feel as fast as it is and can very quickly get you into hot water if you're not careful. Treat it with the respect you know it deserves and you'll be fine.
