I think cruise can only be fitted to cars 2006+, as that's when they went from cable throttle to fly-by-wire.
When I was looking cruise control kits for cars with a throttle cable ( not just S2000's)where considerably cheaper ( circa £100 )than the kits for "drive by wire" ( £500+ ).The logistics + price put me off.

Hi Folks,
After owning numerous BMW convertibles, and being on the search for a Z4M, I bought a 2006 S2000 on a whim.
Why didn't i do this sooner? I love it!! in the sunshine I'm inclined to take it for a spin over my 997 Turbo as it brings a bigger smile to my face.
any must-do mods i should be thinking about?
haven't had a chance to take photos yet. picking it up in the morning.
After having a serious itch for a Porsche since learning to drive, yet owning an S2K for a few years now as my play car I was rather surprised you'd take it out over the Turbo....might need to rethink things!After owning numerous BMW convertibles, and being on the search for a Z4M, I bought a 2006 S2000 on a whim.

The recent PH new post got me looking into these with great interest. But i cant seem to find one I like the look of. £10k seems about right to pay. Any less and they are dogs. And why do they all have 60,000 miles+ on them?
I did notice an Edition 100 on Ph for sale but theres no mention on mileage

I would dispute that anything lower than £10k is a dog. My car is on 61000 miles, is worth £7.5-8 and is not a dog.I did notice an Edition 100 on Ph for sale but theres no mention on mileage
Perhaps the problem is that the ones that are for sale are dogs, and the people with the good ones are hanging on to them

Bought this 2006 in January 2014 for £6500.
Dog, you say...?

Their website says not available for a 2006 S2000...??
2006 was when "the drive by wire " came out and there where other modifications as well including changes to the inlet system making induction kits different for pre / post drive by wire .I cannot help you there but over on S2KI/UK they'll know .They know most things about the S.
I'm of the opinion that induction noise is not nice .
I've done the "airbox lid off " and the novelty wore of very quickly .
I have , however ,had the "UK exhaust mod" done and absolutely love it even though I think its getting a bit louder after 2 yrs . I'm almost (but not quite) sure I heard it "popping" very faintly on the overrun,the other day in an enclosed car perk.

Thanks. I've read through it before.
I was all set to call up the chap in Congleton, but it's a bit ambiguous. Is he Daytona Dave, the one who's not doing it any more?
If I remember correctly he was the one who actually saw the original thread showing the Z4 mod and adapted it into the "S2K exhaust mod" .I was all set to call up the chap in Congleton, but it's a bit ambiguous. Is he Daytona Dave, the one who's not doing it any more?
He did it for the cost of the pipes and must of done a fair few .I even considered driving up to get mine done due to the difficulty of finding someone local I was then having .
I eventually got pointed in Powerspeeds direction but was told later that they wanted in the region of £500 to do other's .
Daytona Dave has become a bit of a legend from what I can gather and I think he has a fair few owners arround at the weekend's .
I believe a few of them clubbed together and bought a hardtop for him recently in gratitude for his help .
As for the mod itself what I did was download a pic of the actual mod and show a few welders and ask if they can do it .
Mine took 2 hrs exactly so should cost realistically 2 hours labour + a couple of bits of pipe .
John.
