My one big complaint is the cup holder. If you can't put anything bigger than a 12 oz. beverage in there without it getting in the way, then don't bother putting a cup holder in the car.

Hey folks, there's probably already been talk in this forum about the cupholder that Modifry sells. It's a pretty beefy set and I picket up two. I can't stand having a bottle in the center factory holder, so I'm adding one on the passenger side down by the map net and one on the driver's side, mounted to the short wall down on the left side, just in front of the driver's seat. I'll test it out, but the only drinks I allow inside the S are water bottles. I hope they hold the one-liter size from Costco.
My link

To help organize the factory cup holder better, I'm getting the organizer, and from another site, I picked up a taller windscreen with S2000 laser engraved. The taller windscreen is supposed to cut down on top down turbulence.

The only other modifications done so far include McGard seat locks, and Honda wheels locks, along with LoJack.

I want to add a theft alarm with interior motion sensor and 2-way notification, a Modifry speedometer calibration kit, and a seat belt lock kit with remote control, as I think it would be fun to try solo autocrossing some day.

I can't think of anything else that I would need to make this a better sports car for me.

Other than that, I just wish i had more time to drive it.
Lol

You should probably be in the Subie forums.
Sounds like the wrong car for you. Next time just buy something with a steel top and a turbo, you'll be golden.

I dont' drive to drink a beverage, so I don't care about cup holders. Man up already.
No traction in higher revs? No problem. Separates my S from my hatch. Its what makes the car fun. No?


Everything the car does or doesn't do is good. I bought it like it is for a reason, if I wanted a car with cup holders, a V8, and adjustable steering I would'a got a Charger.

What don't I like? Nothin. It's perfect like it is.

I hate how it lacks steering feedback. My modded GS400 requires less steering effort, but it has more road feedback.

So funny that you say this. I use the ATM machines still, but I place my car far over so I can get out. Much easier to get out of the car and use the drive thru atm

Have to agree with some of you, very worried about theft and damage to my S, hence the reason I will be installing a very pricey alarm system in the near future

Some people are taking this thread a little too seriously ("quitcher bitchin","man up","buy a subbie"). Nobody is saying they want to get rid of their s2k because of a few minor annoyances... lighten up.

No thanks. I've wanted this car for a while and I knew what I was getting myself into. I mean, it has a little bit of balls if you rev the hell out of it but I prefer instant power like the 370Z.
