Anybody catch this issue yet? It contains two interesting, yet small, articles. One is about the S2000 Modulo which features adjustable suspension, a body kit and 17

Bump from 17 years. Does anyone have any screenshots or a copy to upload?

^Actually that Modulo concept car was from 2012 (from the article: "Is it unusual for an automaker to offer these sorts of parts three years after a vehicle was dropped from the lineup? Perhaps, but it's not unprecedented...").

The primary '03 Modulo offerings were 17" rims and revised suspension. Here's a look at the rims:


The suspension was single-adjustable in front (5 settings), and was externally the same as the stock Showa units, except the dampers were painted white and the springs red. The same basic design was used for the 20th Anniversary suspension kit (though it's not known whether the settings are different).


Here's another thread discussing that 3/'03 R&T article: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-ga...dy-kit-106078/

Do we have anymore information about the wheels?

Interestingly enough for stock class autocross the NB can use a Square Top Euro Intake manifold since one was tested and sold here.

^The Modulo rims are the same size as the "refresh"/AP2 rims.
Front: 08W17-S2A-001A, 17x7JJ
Rear: 08W17-S2A-001B, 17x8.5JJ
I don't know the weights.

The Modulo wheels are relatively heavy, heavier than the AP2V1 wheels. 20 or 21lbs IIRC. I was going to buy a set from Japan, but the dollar-to-weight/performance make the AP2 wheels more desirable, which I think is why we don't see these wheels more often.

Modulo 17 inch rims weight about the same as AP2V3 rims. I had a set a few years ago I sold to another member.
But, they look the beans!
