Post What would you change...

The S2000 is a great car, but not perfect. So what are your hates and what would you change about the car? I am interested to know whether some of my gripes are the same as yours.

A few of my dislikes are:

- no clock or at least only a useless one on the stereo which you usually can't see.
- scroll through fm/am/mw etc when switching from radio to cd using driver controls.
- roof could look better when down (without tonneau cover). The Boxster, TT and even the MR2 look so much better without the need for additional covers.

The roof seal that empties itself on me when it's been on the left in torrential rain.

The sh1te fuel guage

I would prefer a slightly larger fuel tank. 300mile range would be

The 04 has a clock
Get an aftermarket HU

I agree about teh roof, but dont want too much weight added.

Better wheels which dont corrode, and a decent fuel guage.

I would like the ability to disable the passenger airbag.

Another 50bhp or so would also be nice.

How about a 6 cylinder engine with the same specific output per cylinder?

Like Neil I would also like a slightly larger fuel tank, it's amazing how quickly the gauge goes down when you a lot.

Some height adjustment on the seat would be good, I sit a bit too high.

Optional Rays Engineering wheels from factory, like the 350Z has.
