As for the simple bolt-ons, they'll do you some justice. From what I've seen, they'll net you about 16-20 whp. Sounds like you've developed it more for time attack and "canyon driving". Either way, S2k's are pretty hot. If I had my choice of one, I would look into an all white/red leather interior model.
Pity they are discontinueing them. I think 09 is the last year they will be offered. I think the S2000 was offered longer than it was really intended to be by Honda. But still, I've had the pleasure of test driving one. Although, I never had my chance to open it up on the roads, I did get to rev it. It was music to my ears.
Any chance you may sway your opinion on the Mugen top and go out and buy yourself a Spoon version top?  |
The TE's have been my favorite wheel since I first saw them. LE's are okay I guess.
Yeah, I want to use the car for what it was intended, and that's the corners. I saved for a few years after ditching the Si. I wanted just a fun weekend car. I really wish they would have dropped the model earlier than they did, just to keep the numbers down. I have had plenty of changes to push it hard, and it loves to respond back.
That would be a negative on the Spoon top. I honestly do not think it looks that good on a otherwise stock S2000. Maybe with a wide body kit, or some flares. But that is way beyond what I want.
The 16-20hp gain is actually quite high. Typical with the F22 would be about half that. It is hard to squeeze extra hp out unless you really start to get aggressive.
