Next will be Megan Racing coilovers, SLAMMED, and a Seibon CF hood (OEM style) and CF trunk. Then just some I.C.E. stuff. The car already came with an AMUSE R1 exhaust and an AEM cold air intake.

I want an AP1 as well someday, hell, I could be driving one right now if I had made the right choice this time last year.

Great car, was looking at one, until I saw this:
Engine horsepower 240-hp @ 8,300 rpm
Engine torque 153 lbs.-ft. @ 7,500 rpm
I'd love Hondas if they could just keep some torque on these cars. That's the reason for slow track times. Dyno's at 204whp & 134wtq TC supercharged....versus.....s2000. Hmm, TC FTW!!! But I'm biased. Beautiful car dude, and love the yellow!

Congrats on a great car. I'm sure you've learned or will learn to ignore the people that have never driven the car before and are talking out of their ___es about the S2K.
I'm not sure about the AP1 but the AP2 does eat tires at a good clip (~8K-12K). You've already met the not-so-flat trunk. Watch for snap oversteer at the limit as well since you have the AP1. Check out Hondata as well if you want vtec to engage at a lower RPM.
Anyways, congrats on a great car.

Shortly after ordering them, TireRack called me and said that the offset in the rear is slightly aggressive and i may or maynot need to consider rolling the fenders. Blah.
