Welcome to the board

Induction? Depends what you want - noise or actual performance increases. PRM and Injen both offer lots of noise but no performance improvement. Mugen is a good first step if you're serious about tuning. Spoon/AusS2000 air intake extension are also worth considering.

Exhausts? Again, depends what you're after. The HKS is popular - lots of noise and won't break the bank. Amuse looks nice but is bloody expensive and you'd have to import it. You might be better off getting a bespoke one made if you prefer stainless steel (although the HKS Hiper is soon going to be available in SS).

Wheels? 18" look great, but there's a very limited choice as a result of the offset which the S2000 has. There's probably a greater choice of 17" rims. What size tyres you need will to a large extent depend on which rims you for for.

Dunno about springs.

Muz, one of the site sponsors, offers tower and strut braces. Check out his website - those people who have fitted them say that it improves rigidity and turn-in when cornering.

Alpine is probably the best choice for ICE upgrades, since their KCE865 adaptor allows you to retain use of the dash controls.

Light up wind deflectors are a in the UK as a result of the laws governing what colour lights you're allowed to display.

The plastic screen can be replaced, but it's not cheap. StevenM is your man to explain this to you in more detail.

 

You were doing so well up until this point

Rear plastic windows can be replaced but the cost is around

 

any suggestions on where to get the gear from...im new to the whole internet n it seeming to take ages to find any uk sites.

how much was it for an o2 hood...i had toyed with that idea, can the screen not just be replaced or does it have to be the whole hood?

 

Mr T has covered it all there. However re the above, I have spent the last few months looking at wheels and it seems 18" are more regularly available is S2 configurations, its very hard to find 17" wheels, in the UK, that have been successfully fitted to an S. If you want to import there is more 17" choice......

 

Hi ade, not much else to add from me, except welcome on board - you'll find it a very useful source of info and some great people too

 

If you do sort some wheels out, give me a shout if you are selling yours, as I am quite local and am after a set....and welcome to the board.

 

If you want glass the whole hood has to change as the glass window is quite a bit smaller than the plastic window. From Honda a new 02 hood is over

We must get our North East meet sorted for the spring

You can't substitiute the rear screens as they are different sizes.

IIRC someone has just had some asftermarket brake discs made but beware as they are not a standard size. Stick with Honda and it will cost you

 

I have SSR GT1's in 17" these look a bit like CTR OEM wheels (link to a picture in my sig. on the 1st post on this thread)

(The wheels were made in Japan and shipped to the US. The were then purchased by a guy in Spain and I then bought them from him)
