I just bought my s2000...my last car was a 2001 CL Type S so, big change. I love my new car but now that I have it, I don't know what to do with it. I'm stuck on the idea of an invidia exhaust, but I don't want to do anything or spend any money on anything that will make me regret my choices. Any thoughts out there? Any help is a big help. Thanks all.

 

i got the HKS Hi Power and it sounds AMAZING! congrats on the purchase.

 

Welcome
We have an introduction thread. Who are we to tell you what is next? If you dont know what do to with your S2000, I suggest looking the picture thread for ideas or doing a search on exhaust if that it what you are looking for.

 

register it.

that's usually the next step.

 

Thanks. Checked it out on youtube and I like it. I'll consider it. Guessing it'll cost me around $900? Anyone else like it?

 

T1R 70mm sounds sweet, i just so happen to have one for sale at 800$. buy it and paypal me, that would be the next step.

 

Welcome to the family.

If I had it to do over again, I would have purchased a MY2002 instead of my MY2000. They're simply more refined have a lot of small things that make the car better in my opinion.

I would ride in a S2K with Invidia exhaust before you throw down the money. In my opinion, it's mind-numbing LOUD.

 

Thanks everyone. I'll spend some time this weekend looking around.

 

change your text font/size, its annoying having to read from far...

i would suggest you get to know the car before you wrap it around a pole. not sur eif you have owned a s2k before or not, but they can get out of control if you're not familiar with their limit.

a '01 CL-s will be totally different than the s2k and you don't want to find out the hard way. even if you have owned other rwd cars before, the s2k was still hard to learn for me, after owning rx7's in the past.

welcome!!!

HKS exhaust with test pipe

 

save up for a house?

 

 

any 70mm single with test pipe. I want the T1R 70R-em turn down. It's fairly quiet compared to other 70mm singles. But if you wanna sound like a race car on the street, Amuse R1000 hands down!

 

thanks, 70mm is possibly what im looking for, something not to lound but not to quiet.

 

Take the top of the intake box off, sounds great. You may loose a couple hp, but the sound makes up for it by far!

 

heatsoak FTL...lose a couple hp and mpg

 

Don't listen to this guy ^

 

Best bang for the buck... EASY

1- test pipe
2- stock airbox mod and high flow factory replacement filter.
3- throttle body spacer

done and done

FYI, and exhaust is no where NEAR the best bang for buck. Just saying...

 

why the throttle body spacer?

 

how would a TB spacer help?

the spacers induce more swirl and tumble into the combustion chamber (better for carbed v8). not so much a factor on the F20/F22 and will not see any noticeable power.

i would say they are more aesthetic. the spacers do make for a cleaner engine compartment when you consider how many extra vacuum hoses you will have for a turbo car.

i would look at getting a VAFC, intake (comptech), exhaust (plenty to choose from), and test pipe/hi flow cat. the VAFC and a dynotune is best bang for the buck IMO even if your car is stock, but would be better with previous mentioned mods.

 

why not a set of gears? THAT is the best bang for buck imho.

 

The VAFC is a JOKE.

 

why you say that? i know its not Hondata, but you can get a used one for pretty cheap (fraction of Hondata) and gain decent power if dyno tuned.


gears would be a great buy

 

does a TB spacer really do anything? serious question.
