The power is fine for me, maybe a tighter suspension would be nice. Amd of course a decent stereo is in order.

 

how would you acheive that tighter suspension, pc?

 

My new toy is good enough but I am already making it better for myself, rims, cai, strut bar already on, spoon equipment by the end of this week, vtec controller in today, got plans laid out to have a turbo installed within 60 days... got more plans after that but eta is unknown, this other stuff is all definite...

 

Nope......See below!

 

Is the radio really that bad, or is it just the models prior to 2002 that have crappy systems. As for me, i want a white one, i'd clear the side markers and buy the euro headlights. A comptech intake would be a must, and a strut bar or an X brace(which i do not know much about-x-brace). Maybe some 18"s and thats all folks. Oh, and ofcourse a hardtop for the winter. Jeff

I'm happy with the car stock, but since it's a 2000 model, I've added a Mingster Aeroscreen to calm down the cockpit a bit and purchased floormats and a car cover from Honda before I even took possession of the car.

I might give in and get leather visor replacements, mainly since that's the best way to get ride of those stupid airbag warning stickers.

I guess I consider the car to still be stock even after these "minor" modifications.

 

I say I won't but I said that about my NSX too. The S2000
actually has great looking wheels and a good exhaust note out of the box. I think early NSX's were under-wheeled in comparison. I'd like to hear the Comptech exhaust for the S2000, the car needs to be a little louder IMO.

 

I approached mods cautiously, never having modded a car before and being happy with the stock performance. I've noticed *significant* improvement, though, with the intake cooling mods and X-brace. The car really does get sluggish when hot, and the X-brace improves both road feel AND ride quality, IMO.

Voodoo-like shifters (spherical, countersunk) are a great mod, too; a stereo upgrade is also clearly required.

What's more, all of those mods can be done on the cheap:
Hondata intake gasket: $60
X-brace: $150?
Voodoo knob: $40
Lucid rear speakers: <$200.

'02 models don't even need all the crap we had to buy for our '00's: rear window mat, console cover, floormats, aeroscreen...
