I have a habit of finding small things that bug me with ANY car. My last fixes involved a mod to let you put the top up and down while moving -- instead of being fully stopped, and a mod to let you open the passenger door and trunk while the car is running, without having to reach over to the passenger door and manually unlock it (pain). See here for those:

Ever since I got my S2000, it always bothered me that it didn't have footwell lights. I've done this mod to all of my cars that didn't have them from the factory and they are great. I added red footwells that come on automatically when a door is opened, or via a hidden push button switch.

My 2nd project involves adding an Acura RSX-S bose spare tire sub to my stock 2002 system. This fits PERFECT in the S2000 spare tire. If you want bass, and want it prefectly STEALTH, this is a great mod for you. A lot of guys with these RSX-S's are upgrading their systems to aftermarket and you can pick one up cheap.

My 3rd project was to add an Alpine CD changer to the stock 2002 deck. If you didn't know, the Honda deck is basically ready to work with most ALPINE 6-disc changers. All you need is a special plug made by www.blitzsafe.com and it will plug right in. No FM modulation junk, and it works with the factory cd changer controls and audio controls by the start button. If you can find an old used Alpine 6-disc, it will work. I used a Alpine S600 model. I mounted the changer under the front driver seat with velcro on the buttom. This is the best palce for easy access and it doesn't move.

Great information! Nice writeup!

 

Looks good. But I don't really understand why you need lights in the footwell. Is it that hard to figure out clutch, brake, gas in the dark?

 

HEy i like that sub idea!! smart man

 

Ever drop something at night? Change, CD, money, etc. You can't see anything at all with the factory domelight. I drop stuff all the time, and everytime I go past 6,000 rpm my pockets empty.

I'm going to use all the long lost change to buy a turbo.

 

Ahh you see that's the problem, I actually never keep anything in my pockets while driving. I'm one of those anal people that hate carrying change. I empty my pockets into the center console/secret compartment, cup holder, etc before sitting down.

 

Jason,
You should make step by step directions for wiring the foot well lights and then post them in the Library.

 

great mods! very nice, clean work. i really like the footwell lights, but i'm like dan, i always empty my pockets out before i drive.

 

Following the link I gave for the footwells will show you how to do it. There a few different ways you can hook them up and that link shows you all the possibilities.

I sometimes empty my pockets, but you can't always get your passnegers too. I was making a small fortune under the passenger seat. Looks like I won't be now with adding the lights, hehe.

 

Jason-

Even though I'm not a mod guy, I always enjoy the mods you demonstrate via pics. I like the idea of footwell lights, just in case you need 'em. The spare tire sub idea is very clever.
