What it is,

I'm ready to start teh modding. Plz post up what you've changed on your car, and if you'd get it again or would do something else (if so, what).

Exhaust - looking for a single. Does yours drone like a mofo?
Suspension - spings, coilovers, is ride crappy or tasty?
Shift knob - does Ti stay any cooler?
Wheels - sizes, offsets, can you slam lower on 17's vs 18's?
Intake - what's good, or should I wait until I go s/c
etc

Also, we should have a meet some night (maybe at the Pavs?) to check out things in person. Anybody interested ?

Is your new car completely stock?

One of the best mods to get on a new car is the Voodoo shift knob. I am not sure if a Ti knob would stay any cooler. I have a titanium watch that is very temperature sensitive. You need a knob sock to make sure you don't burn your hand on a hot day.

My car also has an AEM V1 intake. Overall, I think the intake sounds great but doubt it provides any kind of gains performance wise. I just watch out during the monsoons when the roads flood. The AEM intake is notorious for sucking up water and killing engines.

The best mod I have found for the car is the hardtop! Nothing beats being able to hear the music that is playing and being able to talk to the person in the passenger seat. Oh yeah, it takes 15 seconds to take it off and store it in the garage for some top down driving.

If your car is completely stock I would highly recommend a stereo system. Get some speakers and a new headunit (I am sure WLAURENT would help you install them for a nominal fee)! I have modfry's speaker pods behind my seats. Great product that I would highly recommend. The only problem that I have had with them is the one beind the drivers seat pops off of its clip. A swift hit fixes that problem.

If that isn't enough modding for you, I would also recommend a clear bra. Mine was installed when the car was almost new and the front end still looks great. You can't see the line across the hood unless you are very close to the car. I would rather have the line than rock chips everywhere.

I am up for getting a group together and having some fun. You have seen my car before.

Pearl coated VOODOO shift knob - nothing better in the AZ heat.

Hardtop - mine is on all summer (makes AC a good 30-50% more efficient).

Stereo upgrades - more than willing to help local guys out.

bbtriflo exhaust - http://www.bbexhaust.com/car/s2000/

Aussie/MUZ driver side convex mirror - lets you see a ton more top up or down.

Leather headrests - lets you drive around without a nose bleed.

FIAMM air horns - they come in handy when someone with a hardtop and loud stereo starts lane changing into your space.

And soon I will have some FI

I did exhaust first...

then a seibon hardtop...

then upgraded stereo...

planned on rims and suspension next but never got a chance.

Do what you want first. The S has very few things that need to be upgraded, it's just a matter of personal taste.
