im bone stock. #1, i can't afford anything. #2, which actual performance upgrades would make me feel anything in my daily driving? Maybe just supercharger

I did add a bunch of Momo stuff to the interior to make it seem a little more luxurious.
You wouldn't feel anything daily driving in a supercharger except being slower than stock. The weight and power draw up to 4k rpms on an otherwise stock car will be slower than a non sc'd one. You have to rev to make power

I think you guys with stock cars should consider a gear set. You still keep everything the way it is, except the car will be much faster in a straight line. Once you drive one with gears you'll be very pleased. When I drive a stock 4.1 geared S now I can't believe it's the same car.

Completely stock here. Modifying a car doesn't seem like a good way to spend my money. I'd rather have a new bike or other "toys".

i consider a car stock based on how easy it would be to take it back to the condition you bought it in. my car is a lease and i have an AEM CAI and T1R exhaust. i used to use the lease as a justification for not changing anything but i want to enjoy the car for the 3 years i have it so i decided to do some basic mods that could be reversed easily when the time is up.

99.9% bone stock... with some useful accessories - Rick's mats, Kodokan seat locks, Honda Ti shift knob, convex mirror, wheel locks.

I wouldn't have thought so many were running stock. I guess the modders do most of the talking aroun here...lol

I don't see a real need for mods unless it was going big time, like a turbo or SC.

I did however change out the head unit and speakers on day 2

Well I just got my S2K in April... so I'm not really jumping into the mods just yet so that I have warantee for at least a year just incase anything happens. And also... not much out there yet for the MY06 yet. But anyway... yes I'm stock too but plan on modding basic bolt-ons with ECU upgrade at one point. FI is also on the mind, but that probably won't happen for a few years.

I say pretty bone stock except

Al deadpedal - yes it used to be plastic in 2000 and 2001
clear side markers
muz roof mat and floor mats
red badges
better speakers
and an amp in the spare tire wheel well.

I think it is pretty much perfect stock, but would look better with 17 or 18" wheels.

I notice on their website K&N claims 9 point something gain on an 02, they say thier unit is for an 05-06 but make no claim for any power gains. Since you installed this mod did you notice any gains? I thought the 06 was a cold air intake which was supposed to be an upgrade from 05 models.

My 06 is bone stock and will probably remain that way, Honda has built a great ride, and I don't see much in the market to improve the 06 AP2's
