Default New stuff for the S2000

I like to tinker and build stuff. I was curious to hear if there were some mods/parts/accessories...anything that people were interested in having for the S2k. I'm talking about things that people don't sell (do not exist yet).

Let's come up with some ideas.

Well here's two that I personally would like:

(1) combine the concepts of the radmat with tn2p's intake plate. I liked the later's design concept but not the fact that it was plain aluminum. Perhaps a sandwich?





I ended up installing an AUT plate because what I'm describing here simply isn't available.

(2) Oil catch cans have been a pain to mount for many. A variety of locations are used usually requiring the removal of something which range from the cruise control to, as in my case, the cutting off of the airbox resonator. The most eloquent design has been J's racing which combines both a oil catch reservoir with a radiator overflow reservoir in one unit shaped to fit snuggly in the right front inside of the engine bay where the plastic radiator overflow and cruise control sit. It is ridiculously priced at over $500 though.

Now if that concept of a dual container could be made where it only displaced the radiator overflow container and priced reasonably, it would solve a lot of installation issues.

This the kind of stuff you're looking for?

Bob A (SD) Perfect! Those are def the kinds of things I'm looking for. I think we all at some point have thought "This could be better" or "why didn't they use this or do that?" Keep em comin guys! Maybe some of these ideas will be realized.

I cannot think of anything myself, but alot of people have said that the first person to create an AP2 rear bumper with a single out exaust cut will be a rich man.

Battery relocation kit. To move it to the trunk.
A subtle and light air splitter (that isnt ugly as sin) for the ap2 front fascia.
I always wanted a hood with a ferrari style clear panel to peak at the engine. Especially if its got the vents and looks flush/factory. I have some designs on this buts its to much for me to undertake. Issues with how the hood is reinforced from the factory.
Any Lighter/stronger oem replacement parts. This car is fat.
Im sure i can think of some other stuff.
