1) s2000, made by Honda

2) just makes your car go faster, sorry, I really don't feel like going into the technical stuff about NOS lol

3) Just stick around here and read some threads, I'm sure they'd help you out


I hoped I helped you out a little bit

It's Nitrous Oxide. NOS just stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems who makes nitrous systems for cars. Yeah it really works. When you inject it into the engine (the air intake), it allows for more oxygen to be put in the cylinders. since there is more oxygen, you can put in more fuel so you get more power. it has the same effect as superchargers but only for a short period.

what to buy to mod your car depends on what car you have, what you want it to do, your budget, and amount of time, give us these, and we should be able to help you out.

I believe n2o is the same thing as nitrous and nos is a company that makes it.
