If there was one thing that you could have changed from the factory about your R what would it be???

( must be a reasonable request/ not reasonable would be to ask for RWD :wink: )

My request would be a two part thing, Cruise control and a sunroof.

Cruise control maybe. a sunroof totally takes away from the purpose built car.

I would say sound deadening more than cruis and I don't miss the sunroof from my GSR one bit. Actually glad it is gone. more head room for a helmet and no sun in my face during mid day.

Disclaimer: I hate convertibles and only like sunroofs in the evening and at night. If I owned an S2000 I would remove all convertible mechanisms and put a hard top on permanently. I would likely even seal the targa top on an NSX

Sunroof is a defianate no. It takes to much away from the body stiffness.
Cruise control no. Why do you need it if you are constantly accelerating
Sound dampining no. I love the sound and it helps with the weight reduction.
Going with the racing theme of the type r, I would do a greater weight reduction. Throw in a rear upper strut bar like the jdm. Raise compression to 11.1:1 like jdm. Keep the jdm recaros. Hell, just give us the jdm

Definitely a cruise control for me, I wound up getting tendonitis in my right knee from highway driving ;-( Then again, I don't use it as a daily driver anymore, so I wouldn't care as much now.

Can you get tendonitis from that? If it's in you're right knee...then wouldn't it be your leg you use to accelerate...so you'd get that in an automatic anyway.

No way!

I just have never cared for the way JDM Recaros sit. Mugens I have sat in and they are great. But they are $1200 a seat with rails.

Yes, I got the tendonitis from trying to hold my foot up (preventing excessive speed) during long road trips (every weekend). I didn't say I wanted an automatic transmission, I wanted a cruise control!
