Nitrous for sure !!! If it blows up, take the nitrous off the car, call the dealership and say " my girl friend was getting on the interstate and it just stopped she said ". What can they say...

That's why you use an after market intake/filter and when it blows up, you slap the factory deal on.
What is the dealer going to figure out ? unless your using a 175shot, its not going to blow the rods out the side of the block or anything. It not like nitrous leaves its fingure print inside the motor. THey have to prove that it blew up b/c of nitrous, and them saying " you had nitrous on this car", isn't proof.
When you hit them with the "girlfriend was driving it" story that eliminates a lot of the "was he racing it" worries.
More than likely an S2000 could handle a 100 shot all day, if its installed correctly then its not too much different that adding 100hp with a S/C.
If the motor were to "blow-up" it would likely just kill the ring lands on the pistons or blow a head gasket.
Even better, go into the dealer pissed off b/c "honda's sports car blew up on you, while you had a very important clinet with you on the way to a businuss dinner".
A knew a guy that got 3 motors outta GM. He had a 150 shot on a 5-speed Z-24. The car was fast as hell, but finally after the 3rd motor GM said "no", then he sold the nitrous.

rear diff is supposidly weak
so is the clutch
might have a look in replacing those w/ race worthy components.
exhaust on the rsx, s2k, new si supposedly flows really nice, the intake side is restrictive...
just repeating what i've read from the magizines.
