Thanks for the advice. So coilovers, exauhst, and either final gears (4.77, everybody seems to have them) or ECU.

Does this sound good? Tein RS w/EDFC, Amuse R1000, and J's 4.77 OR Amuse ECU. Any comments suggested on first set of mods. You can modify my list keeping in mind I plan on spending within $6k or less.

all the parts that u named will add up VERY quickly
spend your money wisely....
$6k is nothing when you buy JDM parts although $6k is definitely a good way to start

as for intakes, i had AEM, ARC and currently im running Mugen
you dont need to cut the bumper for the short ramp... although it helps
there is alex air duct from AJ racing or Spugen can cut and repaint your bumper for u so you dont need to buy expensive JDM bumpers

*u should definitely check out S2000 talk and gallery for more info and pictures*

one more thing... ARC is as light or lighter than most of intakes that u mentioned and sounds great ARC fills up space? what could you possiblely fit there? golf clubs?

Why did you switch from AEM, to ARC, to Mugen? How much did the ARC intake wieght?

As for the room thing, I wouldn't want to take off the intake everytime I needed to get to something that is blocked by it. It just seems easier having a Mugen or J's intake since you could see more of the engine under the intake.

And for the stickers... I might want to keep them because I heard having them on your car adds 1-5whp!

i've always wanted mugen cai...
i changed AEM due to hydrolock
i liked ARC cuz of the *BLING* factor... then i picked up Mugen, the ultimate bling...

as for the room thing that u mentioned... i have no clue what you are talking about... there is no need for you to get to anything down there unless u hide your lunch money. you should see J's racing intake in person... that thing fills up as much as ARC.

$6K or less? Be prepared to increase your mod budget and fast because a Mugen or J's intake plus an Amuse exhaust will eat up more than half of your budget.

Mugen and J's are my favorite! Good choices! I'm somewhat trying to save up for one!

Goodluck!
