I think I am getting addicted to mod-ing my car. One after another, I just wanna keep buying stuff for 'S'. Do you guys feel the same way? I used to spend all my time on s2ki.com but now, it's like half here and another half the time at our sponsors' sites deciding on the next mod...

No. In fact, the more I see others modding, the more thankful I am that mine will be original.

I know the feeling, I sometimes go to bed at night thinking about taking out a home equity line of credit and buying two of everything on Rick's site.

Are those Pinnacle brakes Sweeeet or what?!!

Right now I'm obsessing about blocking air turbulence and building a wicked stereo setup.

Seriously, I think this all amounts to two things.

1. To many of us the S2000 is the best car we have ever owned so we want to spend more money on it than a mistress.

2. The car itself is so close to perfect we keep trying to buy that one last item that will make it perfect.

BTW - I believe that if you mod the car you should keep the stock parts just in case you want to return it to stock, or maybe when we are old take it to the Pebble Beach Concours!!!!

with the S, I don't have the modding bug. That is one of the reasons I got it. It came highly tuned from the factory and looks great stock so no need to really mod it up.

Every day I go to bed thinking of what I'm going to do to my car, it's been an obsession for almost a year now.

I was also bitten by the bug.
This problem has solved itself though; I've now not the financial means to continue this habit
My main goal was to have I/H/E anyway...
