Shopping for windblocker for my 2004 s2000 in Southern Calif

alui · 04-23-2004, 11:32 PM

Hello:

New member here !! I just bought my 2000s. I am very happy with it. However, I would like to reduce the wind in the cabin. It would be good enough for me to see good reduction in wind at up to 40 miles per hour. Does anyone know any stores in Southern California ? What are the best screen/headrest combinations to reduce wind ?

The 2.2 liter engine still does not have enough low end torque. Anything I can do about that ?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think the stock windblocker makes a real big difference, but if you are after a genuine Honda one, try this place and save some cash:

I would suggest installing this product instead.

You can get significant torque gains with turbocharging. You can get the sense of better torque by switching the final drive gear.

However, as has been posted endless times on various S2K forums, buying an S and being disappointed with the torque is like buying a sportbike and being disappointed with the torque. Or buying a Powerstroke V10 diesel and being disappointed that it doesn't redline at 12,000rpm This car, by design not by accident, is meant to drive like a grocery getter around town, and like a formula 1 car as long as you keep the revs over 6000 at shifts.

Have fun with it!
