Default Minor Mods

I really feel like adding some power to my new S. I just got it a week ago today. I love the feeling of V-tec (had 2 mustang GT convertibles before this). I just feel like doing some minor modifications, as I couldn't touch the Mustangs.

I'm just curious what the best mods are that have the best results and biggest bang for the buck.
thanks

I'll give you some rough estimates.....

Power:


    Weight Reduction:




      In my opinion the best gains on the S2000 are in suspension and handling modifications. The car is a handling demon and not a 1/4 mile track star so why not appeal to her assets?

      Chasis stuff:


        Suspension:



          Some other things:


            Hope this helps a little - I certainly didn't cover everything.

            Now let's see how many people disagree with me

            You gotta start somewhere... get the basic 3.

            Intake - Comptech Icebox, AEM V1 or V2
            Header - Toda, Spoon, Comptech
            Exhaust - Spoon N1, T1R, Amuse R1, Spugen, Comptech

            do those really give me any gains?

            I kinda like the idea of just improving the handling with strut bars or whatever....
