Hi, I just purchased my 2002 Honda S2000 3 days ago-- does anyone know of any modifications that can be done to the car? I was thinking a Cone filter from K&N, but it comes stock witht he cone filter...what do you guys/gals think?
Thanks.

smokey - welcome to the group! you should keep your car stock for a while and learn the limits of the car before plopping down a few bucks on any mods that might or might not gain add a few hp on the motor.
you should come out to the happy hour this friday in Austin! just check the central texas forum for details.

I've installed a K&N filter on my S and I have no complaints.
Prior to the install, I felt the opening of the air box with my hand. Only with the throttle open did I feel a suction. However with the K&N in place there is a constant strong suction (that's how much more air the K&N flows over the stock paper filter).
To improve on the amount of air avaliable and to stop turbulance I have dremeled out the inside wall and pluged the silencer opening, with these modification the box resonates a powerfull intake note. The performance is definetly noticable, especially at highway speeds.
My next upgrade is going to be the Spoon cold air duct. I will post pics as soon as its in.
For now here are pics of the box and the K&N.
