Your S2000 is not going to get any faster NA without building the motor. I had all the basic I/H/E NA parts and a VAFC-II and still only gained about 10rwhp on the dyno at Hypers. The best thing you could do without going FI or building the motor into a 2.5L stroker is purchase gears. The 4.56 setup sold by HardTopGuy will give you more pull in the low end and more acceleration off the line. They will cut down your max speed to about 155mph, but you'll never see that speed on Oahu anyway and the acceleration is worth it.

Also, I like some of the powdercoated rims I've seen in the gallery section, depends on the car color and what color you want to make the rims.

And finally, the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserves are always hiring. "Navy - Accelerate Your Life"

Yeah I thought NAVY stood for Never Again Volunteer Yourself? Haha...well at least that's what one s2ki member has on his sig.

As for powdercoating rims...that's not for me. Makes it look cheap, especially if you make it black.

In a nutshell, buy this...

or go FI to accelerate faster. There are NO CHEAP BOLT ON MODS that will help your car go faster.

Oh yeah, and go Navy.
