You familiar with UK mod, Jin? It sounds perfect and is stock looking (obviously)

Hmmm, not really! My S2K friends all go lightweight catback!

And say no to any type of engine swap. Are you kidding me!? It's a S2K, not a NA Miata.

I bet more power in the S2000 makes it scary to drive.

Yeah, you actually need to know how to drive it properly to add more power. You don't need more power to go fast in the S2Ks. With a few tweaks in the suspension/aero mods, it becomes a hardcore machine. The driver mod is most definitely required though.

The new engine is fantastic! Of course there isn't quite as much noise now that the stock intake is installed, but I'm not heartbroken over it. That just means that it's time for catback :devilgrin: Edit: YouTube video, y u no embed?! :rant: I would have kept the intake and just been careful around water.. you know.. don't drive through it, don't start car in it, etc. :bitelip: also.. :whistle: https://acurazine.com/forums/acurazi...others-890131/ |

I know for a fact that the slowest component in the car is me and until that gets upgraded, there's no use in changing any go fast part.

Tyler. I do plead that you do the 38MM 1.5" UK mod before you spend the money on an exhaust. You'll see.

I have no idea what the UK mod is, J. However, I do know what noises your 38mm makes :mizouse:
Maj, no track incidents with this penguin, or ANY penguin :O |

shit man, with a stock S2k it gets downright scary even when you push it in the dry. I cannot even imagine adding more power to this thing. Driving in the wet, there's always a pucker factor with the S2k which is why rain is Jeep weather. There's a lot of people that ride in mine thinking "oh, only 240hp at the top end? My (insert mediocre car here) has more power than that" only to be screaming in fear 2 minutes later. I think the noise and drama of the little 4 banger is half of what makes people freak out.

I'll have to plan another track day with you soon, just need to find the time & money to shell out for a new set of summer tires.
My V12 Evo2s aren't quite done yet :tomato: I think you will love the Streets of Willow. We should go there! |

Anytime, Tyler. I'm planning to organize a track day event with my canyon run group once every month from September. Just let me know whenever. I'll send out the event invite on FB.
I think you will love the Streets of Willow. We should go there! Then I remember I have all the water I want and my cost of living is low. My opinion will change in about 2 months though. |
There's always Florida

hot, humid, tons of mosquitoes, tons of old people, hurricanes, hillbillies, obnoxious rich people, etc. I can deal with winter in exchange for none of that. Pass.

It's always Sunny in Florida...
and you can avoid almost everything on your list of negatives, if you want. You also failed to mention any of the positives. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...27bda737d3.jpg |
One thing you cannot escape ... is the humidity. :ugh:
|
LOL...that's definitely not true. Nowhere here does not have AC. So you might feel it on your walk to the car from a store...other than that, you really don't deal with it unless you choose to.

Stickee bawls

I need to spend the last part of my life smoking spliffs somewhere from Monterrey or South on a cliff overlooking the sun setting over the Pacific. |

We were in a rented Ford Fusion...but I bet in the S2000 with the top down |
Crappy phone picture, but when I'm not on the highway, here's what my commute looks like.

|
Dude...if it's cool out, that road does not look boring...
|
Really!? You like straightline roads like that?
|
I take it you've never been to FL?
That looks like a 6G banked Nascar wall to me. |
:pofl:
Never been to FL. |
