welcome on board, other than the factory spoiler options (front,rear,side) you can't really get any thing here in the UK. If you want performance bits the States is the place to look.
Use the search on the forum and you will get an idea.
As for wheels theres lots of places in the UK that specialise in them.

Try RRR Motorsport/Ricardo Emiliani Honda in Lincoln - they can get hold on nearly anything you want for Hondas - 01522 531735. Also Torque Developments in Barking, Essex www.tdi-plc.com - range of HKS gear for the S2K

cheers

Or take a drive to Switzerland for Mugen bits, I think thats still the nearest European distributor.

MG Racing can supply to the UK most of what you would ever want.

Headers, Exhaust yes. ECU no. The ECU's fixed and designed for the higher compression JDM F20C, plus really wants additional cooling.

But, yes I'll take an exhaust manifold and exhaust. Don't forget the Mugen power badge for the boot

Ooops! I'm glad you filled me in about the ECU, the thought of a 9500rpm rev limiter sounded pretty tempting

The only reason I want the exhaust components is for that Mugen sticker

Definately the best upgrade

What ever happened to that gizmo I saw on the TV that did that? (I think I saw Tiff with it on Top Gear)

You could hook it up to your sound system and select an exhaust note (e.g. "Ferrari") and it would blast into your ears completely in tune with your gear and throttle movements.

Not for me, but an unusual concept, especially if you drove a 2CV!
