So I am new owner of a '06 GPW S2000 and I love the car. I have done a few little things to the car and I am undecided if I want to do more. I am definitely going to do some stereo upgrades as I want to be able to hear music with the top down. As for performance I am unsure. Just wonering what you guys think.

Here is what I have done already (nothing big or major):

OEM JDM Clear Sidemarkers
OEM JDM Convex Driver's Side Mirror
OEM Front Lip
Muz Prestige Floor Mats
Rick's 7/8 Wind Screen
Team Voodoo Spun Aluminum Shift Knob
K&N Drop In Filter
Resonator Cut Out of Factory Exhaust

Here is what I am thinking of doing:

Suspension

Tein Flex (leaning towards these)
T1R B-maxR
Swift Springs on Koni Yellows

Exhaust

Mugen Sport Exhaust (leaning towards this one)
T1R Sparrow 63mm

Header

Mugen (leaning towards this one)
Comptech
Rick's

Intake

Comptech Cold Air (leaning towards this once released)
Carbon Fiber AUT Radiotor Cooling plate w/ K&N Drop In Filter

Rims (this is one I really can't decide)

Volk TE-37 (White)
Volk TE-37 (Bronze)
Volk TE-37 (Gun Metal)
Volk TE-37 (Time Attack)
Volk LE-37 (Gun Metal with polished Lip)
Mugen GP (Bronze)
Mugen GP (Gun Metal)

Let me know what you guys think of these parts and whether or not I should do it. If any of you guys have any of these parts please let me know what you think about them.

 

heh, i'm not really into anything you've done or plan on doing.. but please don't take it the wrong way.. how you mod your car is a personal "style".. i give you a thumbs up for whatever you put on your car, as long as YOU like it..

^ which i just realized is pretty off topic.. and to answer your question, yes i think you should mod it.. at least lightly, if not a lot..

ps: i have tein flex, and don't like them.. you should get a car, and drive on them before you buy them.. good luck on your future plans!

 

What don't you like about the Tein Flex? I have talked at least 3 other people who have them and love them.

 

trein flex is a show car suspension not a canyon carving suspension....but its all about what you can afford so is everything for this car

 

I wouldn't spend any money on the engine boltons since it will never give you the power of FI, save your money and get a Comptech Supercharger. The exterior appearance is personal taste and is up to you...

I'd mod it slightly. As far as suspension, I'm going to go with the PSS9's (whenever I decided to hit the submit button and purchase it). The only performance mod I've considered are 4.57R gears.

As far as wheels, depends how much you want to spend. Now that I look more at bronze, it's looks too dark for me. Gunmetal isnt much lighter but you see more of the color. I know the CE's come in TI silver so I'm leaning more towards that.

 

Save your money and get an Elise if the S2000 isn't up to your driving abilities.

 

Spend the $$$ on track time, learn your car's weakness then mod away.

 

i would get the comptech headers incase you need a carb number if a cop pulls you over and inspects your hood
