Alright, im just wondering why honda doesn't make any kind of performance factory parts for the s2000. Nissan makes em for the 350Z. TRD makes em for the Scion. Mazda makes em for the RX8. So why caN'T Honda make anything performance wise for the s2000.

Honda does make an exhaust and coilovers for the S. Check into Modulo. It's JDM only though. This is new for '08

Alodda "performance" cars start life as diff'rent levels of transportation. Some're basic, no-frills, some're a little more endowed. The boost to "performance" car level for many'a these vehicles comes from Johnny Lightnin'/J.C.Whitney/add your favorite name here__________ "factory" added modifications that get the masses salivatin' all over their shirt fronts n' throwin' magazine article n' factory supplied performance figures at each other, whut-iffin' ta beat the band regardin' further "performance modifications" n' which'd be faster.
These rides, however good they finally become after all the add-ons, weren't initially designed that way. Very few manufacturers have the 'nads to put it on the line n' design a performance car from soup-to-nuts. As I've said on many occasionz before: this Ford man'z learned alodda respect for Mother Honda from Stewie. Oh, you can take n' replace perfectly good workin' stock pieces like any'a the other lesser designed rides, but, excludin' forced-induction, unwise changes will likely lessen the car'z stock abilities. At best "improvement" will likely match that whut could be had by the driver missin' a couple'a meals. Honda played their hand, pudditt down on'a table, slid their chair back, put their feet up n' lit a stogie. Leave yer toy'z behind fella'z, Mother saw fit to treat us to a driver'z car. Java

yea, it would be cool for honda to adopt a formal "division" for their performance parts. Maybe they should partner up with Mugen and make it official.
