A Dry Carbon Hood For The S2000
Get your S2000 in shape by saving some weight with one of Seibon Carbon's new dry carbon hoods. Seibon just released its new series of dry carbon products, including hoods, trunks, and fenders for a variety of vehicles that are both ultra-light and functional. Dry carbon products are manufactured through a dry process that consists of vacuum forging a pre-impregnated sheet of carbon fiber into a mold at pressurized high temperatures utilizing an autoclave. The process allows the carbon fiber to form into strong, lightweight composites and is the same used to produce panels for professional race cars in Formula 1, Le Mans, and NASCAR, as well as other race series.

Coilovers Even You Can Afford
Function and Form's Type Two coilover system didn't necessarily need any improvements, but that didn't stop its engineers from rethinking the already-popular design. The Function and Form team went back to basics, incorporating improved strength and reliability into the design. The lower mounts are now constructed of steel instead of aluminum, which won't flex under intense heat. The shock bodies were also improved upon in order to withstand elements like road debris and weather conditions. The all-new twin-tube shock design doesn't just help the Type Two suspension reach new levels of strength and reliability but also comfort, which is after all what we look for in the perfect street coilover. All of this means less downtime due to failed shocks and fewer backaches from a harsh ride. Pair that with 32 levels of dampening adjustability and you just might have the ideal coilover. Function and Form also plans on releasing its Wi-Damp (wireless dampening control) system, which will allow users to adjust dampening characteristics via remote control and, of course, there's also the Type One suspension that features similar construction and design elements as the Type Two but for less money. Function and Form: Proving that a true full-bodied coilover doesn't have to put you in the poorhouse.

Ram Air for the S2K That Works
Each one of Password:JDM's S2000 carbon-fiber intake systems are individually handcrafted at the company's facility. Password's cold-air intake, designed for either of the S2K's F-series engines, requires absolutely no OEM hood or bumper trimming, unlike most of its competitors' products. The system fits perfectly, every time, in any S2000. Like all of Password's carbon-fiber offerings, its S2000 intake system was designed in-house using intake design theories similar to those implemented in Formula 1 and ALMS cars. Moreover, the ratio between the air scoop's size and the inlet tube's dimensions were carefully calculated to provide optimal performance with a trouble-free fit. Installation time is less than an hour and kits currently retail for $999.99.
