Default S2K help?

I just bought my 2003 s2000 2 weeks ago and im not sure what to do with it. I have owned bikes my entire life never got into cars. I sold my zx10 and my 954rr to buy this car. I have no idea what performance parts to put on it. I just bought Invidia cat back exhaust, k&n CAI, and a ERZ header...not sure what companies to buy from. Are these good companies and parts to start out with????

general answer...sure yea.

you won't see much performance gains with aftermarket bolt-ons, no matter what company you go with.

the s2000 is already highly tuned from the factory.

you will see about 10 hp with vafc tuning.

you can also change your final gears for quicker acceleration.

and also, upgrading the suspension would help a great deal.

You bought the perfect version to boost. It's the best performance mod out there.

Just drive it like it is. If in the future you decide you need something then get it.
