Top Down FTW

Heres some info on the headrests. They sell for $20 shipped but you could make them for about $5.  
Pick up some plexi at depot, pop that piece off behind the head rest, use it as a template and tracing the opening on the plexi, then cut it out and place it between the seat and the plastic piece…done  
It helps a little with noise. But its a fun, cheap and quick mod

Yeah, my buddy skurge who has one was telling me about the washers fix. remove the molding and unscrew the brackets that you snap the roof to. ad the washers, replace everything… your good to go. for now. little cardboard pieces are keepin it quite. really should do that right away though, since I cant drive it.

The motor in the s2k is awesome, but I definitely envisioned myself getting bored with the straight line power on the street.

That’s why you get a mase engineering turbo kit, I’m personal friends with him and his kits have created very powerful S2k’s even on stock motors

Why would you say having a v6 under the hood would be a bad thing?  
Yes i love the 9k redline and the fact that the 2.0 motor can squeeze out 240hp but i think a v6 with more hp and torque then what the stock s has now would be just as fun.  
“Vin diesel” enjoys his s2k with a LS1…pretty sick IMO  
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLEYdsQGcPI&feature=youtube\_gdata\_player](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLEYdsQGcPI&feature=youtube_gdata_player)

Anyways,  
Ok yes you want more power, boost it but IMO there’s nothing like getting into a car that’s not boosted with kick ass power. Maybe I’m just remembering my turbo GSR days. It was a fun and fast car, but I was always waiting for something to go. Don’t get me wrong though, I’ll take the s over the teg any day.

Yea I’ve seen washers used, while others use plates  
I guess the plates are better because it covers more surface area…but i Haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure

Yes, do drive the car!

I’m not arguing that it needs more power, but that power should not come from a V6. Who the fuck wants a V6 in ANYTHING

Hah, oh I got ya. Well im just saying yea it needs more power. Its enough some days and then others your wishing you had more.

I wish in 09 (last year for the S) they would have placed a nice SC (nothing crazy) on the Club Racer edition. They said they were going to come out with something special…the community was disapointed when it was minor stuff.  
Lip, suspension, a few lbs less, no radio, wing, paint and interior colors etc wasn’t enough.

Oh well. Its still a great car thats a blast to drive. It will never get old.

I’m sure there are SOME, but I can’t think of one car w/ an NA v6 that I think is cool.
