Is it hard? No. Just bear in mind that the risk is cutting the wire instead of removing the insulation only. In which case you'd have to solder the wire back.
Do you have to remove wire insulation? Yes. Otherwise what are you connecting to? Plastic isn't a good conductor.
Wanna know more about electrical and wiring? Read books? Hahaha...
DESCRIPTION: Accidently stumbled into buying these as a last minute option (as my intended pads never arrived in time for a trackday). They were stable throughout the whole day. The car had completed over 65laps on the one trackday with these pads. There was no brake fade, no noise and little dust considering the amount of braking it had done. Excellent performing pad in street conditions.
Mod: ACRE Formula Titan 0-850 degrees brake pads
with Titanium front brake shims
Details : Excellent pedal feel. Not sure whether its due to the shims or pads as I put them both in at the same time. Pads have a superb bite right from cold start. On track, very consistent braking with no brake fade at all. The shims may have contributed to this as well with better heat shielding.
Pads bite better than the Ferodos 2500 imo but the downside is the noise they make. Very squealy even after applying permatex brake quiet. Another downside is the brake dust generated is not easy to wash off.
Rating : Perfect for street/track if you don't mind the squeals/dust.
MOD Backyard Special Magnum Exhaust (modified) Cat-back
PRICE $400 (secondhand)
WHERE FROM Friend selling his s2000
DETAILS I bought my one with the resonator removed because the steel wool stuff was coming out from it (i don't know why, but i saw it happen). Its super loud and droney at certain revs. 2300-2800 RPM is okay. You need earmuffs if you want to go for 100kph cruise @ 3500+ rpms. It sounds meaty, and has a rasp @ around 6000rp. Especially sweet in tunnels or driving down between tall buildings. Light weight. Fills the rear muffler openings well. Best to keep a resonator with it!
RATING 4
MOD Modifry glove box organiser

WHERE FROM Modifry
DETAILS Laser cut plastic divider for glove box. Fits PERFECTLY. Nice and tight. Tidies up the glove box.
DESCRIPTION: fixes the shakiness some cars will experience when theyre car is lowered. More expensive than getting the CV buckets swapped around but they look cool (if you ever stick your head under the car)

Mod: GT Motoring 4.44 Final Drive gears
Price/Where from: $750 including fitting kit from midwesta on s2ki
Impressions/comments:
Good compromise between stock and the 4.77s which may be too aggressive. Improves acceleration but reduces top speed. Car now stays in vtec between gear changes. Also makes day to day driving easier
Rating out of 5: 4.5/5 (Great Mod)

Impressions/comments:
Best mod so far alongside the diff gears. great sound, great performance gains (butt dyno) and looks pretty cool too. Only downside is its LOUD, and quite droney on the highway, however that doesnt bother me much.
Rating out of 5: 4.5/5
