lol, yea I saw all of those on the SK2I boards.
And that hardtop...I would never buy a knock off hardtop. $600 for something that should be $3-4000...thing probably leaks like their is no tomorrow lol.
That Invidia one (last one) isn't bad, I like the rolled tip.
PTuning is releasing their turbo kit this winter for the S2K, so if they make an exhaust, I'll definitely look into that.

Yeah, the only way someone is spending less than $3,000 for a hardtop is if they find one used, if it comes with the car (what I'm hoping to achieve), or if they get some leaky garbage. S2K + Cheap parts = ultimate failure. This thing was designed for the track, so Honda tried to milk every single ounce of performance out of it, while still making it reliable/legal. That's why the majority of the exhausts on the market yield only +5HP and in only a small range of the power band. More performance is gained from weight loss than actual HP with exhausts for this car, some exhausts will take off almost 50lbs of weight.

I've already found two. One in New Hampshire and one in Indiana, both yellow. I'm not worried about it. If I can't find one, I can't find out. I only plan on using the hardtop for the winter. After finding out that the softtop fully opens in only 5 seconds, I definitely will want to have the soft top for this time of the year.

2004-'06 Honda S2000
After a full decade in production, Honda is killing off the S2000 roadster following the 2009 model year. What a loss.
The S2000 has just about the stiffest and most stable chassis ever put under an open two-seater. And there's never been anything quite like its DOHC 16-valve, VTEC-equipped four-cylinder engine that makes 240 hp despite modest displacement and no forced induction.
While there are 2000-'03 S2000s out there for less money, the S2000 you want is a 2004 model or later. Thanks to a bump in displacement from 2.0 to 2.2 liters (which added some much-needed midrange torque), a few structural reinforcements and some careful suspension tweaks, the 2004 S2000 is a significantly easier car to live with than the earlier version.
Don't take that to mean a 2004 S2000 is an easy car to live with. This is the hardest-core machine on this list of hard-core machines. In fact, the S2000 has been called a four-wheeled superbike, which either means it's the car of your dreams or a high-revving, cramped and noisy nightmare. That's for you to decide.
If it were our money: Honda added an electronic throttle to the 2006 S2000 that is ever-so-slightly less responsive than the mechanical throttle in the 2004 and 2005 editions. So we'd go for the best 2004 or 2005 we could find. A hardtop would be a nice bonus.

And the reliability ratings from ConsumerReports.

I've actually been finding a lot of 2004 models. Not sure why the 06 power equipment was considered bad, nothing was really changed...
If only you stayed 6 hours closer the part out would be over. I would take the seats, the bumper, the lights, hatch swap, the dash, the rear seat or lack thereof....someone else can have the turbo and wheels
I'm interest in alot of your parts and i'm only a half hour away, I'll drive to you, PM or Email me, whichever is best for you. Thanks alot. lildomicolo@gmail.com
lol, just ignore him. He's just angry because his old account got blocked because of something I said to him over a year ago. I find it rather funny, considering how much time he's taking out of his life, just to spam my pages. He's only making it so he guarantees getting banned again.
IM BACK!!! Anyways how much did it cost you to make the trunk, I honestly think its pretty damn sweet. Due to the fact I put the air suspension kit and I got a lot of crap in the trunk... air tank, compressor, valves , spare tire, and two 10"s in a ported box sitting in my garage. It doesnt seem like two difficult of a job, and I like how you made the storage bin where the rear seat used to be. Give me an idea of how much it costed for the supplies, since I figure you will not sell me yours since you think im an a..hole. Thanks.
