Default New s2000 owner

I just purchased a 2004 Suzuka blue s2000 with 27,000 miles, what are some mods suggested for the car not including force induction that are pretty essential to new owners?

Everyone will say a drop for starters, at least that's what I find.

Paint job would be the first mod...just kidding...great car.

Seriously though, I love the OEM set up except one thing...the stereo.

Welcome to s2ki. Good Luck with the car.

The most important mods are to the driver: HPDE's, autocross school, autocross events, etc. These are definitely the most cost-effective ways to make the car faster.

sorry, but I would have to agree that suzuka blue = baby blue is one of the girliest colors out there.


Atleast it's an s2k. If I were you I'd paint first.
