Default Which to modify? S2000 vs ISf

Need some help....

I currently have 3 vehicles in my rotation: 2011 ISf, 2003 S2000, and a 1994 Land Cruiser.

I use the ISf for daily duty...the S2000 for weekend and occasional auto cross...and the Land Cruiser for bad weather/gun club trips.

All vehicles are stock...but the mod bug is starting to bite (thinking an aftermarket exhaust...either for the S2000 or ISf). I can't decide which to begin modifying. A little concerned about "chopping up" clean examples both. Is that irrational?

What do you guys think?

As long as your mods are conservative and easily reversible you could mod both and return them to stock if you choose. There are too many great parts out there for the S2K to keep it 100% stock unless that is what you prefer.

I agree with the kid from South Florida.

Modify the Lexus. So many S2000s are modified, your car will get lost in the mix. I don't see so many modified Lexuses.

All three of those cars are perfect in stock form IMO.

Save your money for gas for the Land Cruiser (I'm a big fan of those, btw)

IS-Fs sound downright nasty when they're opened up:
I love the HKS Hi-Power Single on my AP1, it's glorious (all else stock).


Why not both?

Exhaust on a V8 >>> exhaust on an I-4.

I would just put an exhaust on the ISF, a mild one - just to hear a slight tone to it. Other than that, I would keep it as is - clean and classy. Something to still drive to the office and such if need be.

S2000, I would either keep clean completely unmodded, or go all out, I guess there are few and far inbetween, right?

Land Cruiser, keep it as is, hell if anything I would love to mod one and have it on my off-road excursions.

I know once my currently lexus take a dump, which may take a while, I've had my eyes on the 2014 ISF (not into the body style of the GSF, surprisingly - though their interior is far better...)

Good luck, nice stable.
