That was a fast responce, No from the outside my car looks stock, It is in the Garage for the winter. I am planning on doing the Veilside Complete Millenium Body Kit minus the Veilside hood,I like the Amuse hood myself. As far as wheels i like the Veilside andrew racing F wheels, i am gonna try to stuff a 18x10 under the rear and 18x9 under the front. Some other things i'd like to add is a Baer Big brake kit with 6 piston calipers and a Comptech SuperCharger kit if the funds are available. The Amuse Ecu allows the rev limiter to smack in at 9500RPM and increases Vtec engaugment.
Anyone in here have the Andrew racing F wheels ?? whats the biggest size they have stuffed under the rear ? Should i have a problem getting a 18x10 under the rear ????

Yeah they surly do sound like a F1 Formula racing car. What all does your friend have done to his S2k ? Do you and him go out racing alot ? Just curious, sounds like a young guy who would go around town @ 9000Rpm . Every now and then i'll rev up for ***** and giggles, i never roll around through at high rpm.

What does that Spoon Combo sale for ??? Would it be worth upgrading to when a 2001 Bmw M-Roadster is in my Vision ??? 12000RPm is pretty high, is that even relieable for daily driving???

if I have this motor, then I will be able to tell you... but I don't... Spoon engine will run you 9000+ up to how many Spoon mods you want... well, for that engine, I wouldn't doubt it is reliable. Spoon is famous at edurance race in Japan..!! reliability is very important to them... and, I will say Mugen and Spoon make the best aftermarket parts for S2000 now..!!

nice car, i wish i had the cash to upgrade my car also like yours. Now for my question, it is about your Amuse System...i've been pondering about getting an exhaust for my S2k, but I have been debating between the J's racing one..and this Amuse piece..but the amuse exhaust is nearly 3 times as much!! is it worth it in the end?

I don't know much about the Amuse Exhaust System, I use the Mugen peace myself. When i bought the car it came with the Amuse Ecu, Spoon camshafts,Spoon valve train and spoon haedgasket. The rest of the stuff i bought and had installed. Right now i am looking at ordering my Full Veilside Body kit (minus the veilside hood) and looking also at getting the Amuse Carbon Fiber hood along with the Andrew Racing F (18x10rears) & (18x9 fronts) wheels and some Sparco Racing Seats. After those additions witch will be completed in the next month i am gonna look into the Comptech Supercharger kit or a 2-stage Nos System.
Here is a Linkhttp://www.zigzagasia.com/zza/cars/s...6/project.html to a car with some Amuse Products. Hope this was so help to you, I am sure some other H-T members might able to help i am sorry i can't cause i use the Mugen peace.
Good Luck

I've heard an Amuse exhaust on the S2000 and it definately sounds nice and weighs only 7 lbs. For the price, you might as well just get the Spoon or J's and put the rest toward headers or something else.

Supercharger
Nitrous

Edit:
On second thought, since you already have spoon cam shafts and etc... why would you think about Supercharging your car? If you don't supercharge your car go for some 17" for performence reasons, unless you want to go more show than go. Just some things to think about...

Maybe you should look at the S2000 Hyper Rev book more carefully. There happens to be some pretty big write-ups about the Amuse parts and J's Racing. Big name Tuning houses in Japan. Know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.
