Thumbs up Your Regrets Help Me

OK so here is the info I have a 2004 GPW with Tein hood dampers, ARC radiator cooling plate, K&N drop in filter, and the blue after market poop in mirrors, MY question is what do I do with 2,000 dollars I have saved. I want to hear some stories of what you regret doing with your s2k what you should of done if you could start over. I want to lower my car and at fist I was thinking cheap like function and form damper, and a cusco os strut bar, and a injen intake. But now I am thinking Tein Dampers with the EDFC and that will pretty much be all my 2,000. So let me know what you all think maybe I should just keep saving for that full-race turbo kit. I live in Delaware right now that where they have me stationed so I do see a little snow which I refuse to drive in. Also this AP2 might be shipped any where in the world depending where i get stationed japan, guam, germany.

You know I'm going to say Racelogic Traction Control and sticky tires....

But saving for the Turbo is good, too.

I don't necessarily regret it, but I kinda wished I had not put 4.77 gears in my AP2. This is definitely an AP1 mod... for the AP2 the gearing is just overkill on the freeway.

4.77's are just fine in my ap2. 75 MPH on the freeway isn't bad at all

I think the S2000 is like sportbikes in that the best place to put the modification money is in the driver. Take the money and put it into track time and lessons. Or into an account to build up to buy the next great sportscar honda builds.
