I commented on the video and they emailed me back in "english" (haha) saying it was possible to buy their parts from them and have it shipped to the US. I responded by asking them what mods they did to their ISF so stay tuned... when they email me back i'll post what they replied with

Ugh, that's too bad, because I really like the look. 
Thanks for the info though. Of course, 10k doesn't seem that outrageous compared to the absurdity of the OEM wheels costing like what, $1800 each?
For the weight, the ultralight FIs seem like a much better deal. I read on another forum that some guy got a set for his GT2 for "only" 4k Euro, which at today's exchange rates is only a bit over 5k. I don't think the FIs weigh much more than the RE-Mgs.
BTW, how are they mounting Neova AD08s on the stock front wheels?

1.5 way OS giken LSD
intake /w drop in filter
Ti exhaust
Throttle body
ecu tuning
upgraded brakes
billstein coilovers
suspension bars
magnesium bbs wheels on Neova AD08(Street semi slick tires)
bucket seats
Diffusers
and more.
Just check out icode's website and u'll see what's on the market for ISF.
I don't think that blue one is running camshafts. IcodeTv specifically replied a person on the original youtube video on it saying it has no header and camshafts. Just read the comments on the Youtube video and u'll see the replies. Also it's not running 450 whp. It's running 450 ps. PS is not rated as whp. PS is rated a bit higher then crank hp and bhp. Like stock isf's in japan are rated 423ps which = to 416hp here.

Stock ISF ran 2:06.53 and their ISF ran 1:57.618. Close to a 9 second improvement.
The laptime improvement mostly came from aftermarket LSD, weight reduction, diffusers, suspension tuning, upgraded brakes and semi slick tires. IMO the power increase didn't help much compared to the other mods.
When I tracked my s2000 at pacific raceways quickest stock s2000 runs 1:48ish. With my modified s2000 my quickest lap time was 1:40ish which was modded with
Spoon 1.5 way LSD
Spoon calipers with race brakes pads
Spoon race clutch/flywheel
Tein RS coilovers
suspension bars front/rear strut bars, xbrace, rear tie bar etc
CF GT wing
CF diffusers
13 lb forged wheels and Advan A048 tires.
and much more. Too many mods to list.
weight reduced to 2500 lbs vs stock's 2800 lbs(semi stripped interior, Bride racing bucket seats, removed airbags, removed A/C, removed softtop replaced with Mugen Hardtop)
I pretty much dumped 40k CAD into this s2000 to shave 8 seconds. All JDM parts.
For power mods was only intake/header/ti exhaust/bigger throttle body/ecu tuning. My power gains from those mods gains was only about 20 peak whp but the ecu tuning gave me 30 whp in the midrange. For N/A vehicles Ecu tuning will not benifit much on peak hp but will benifit alot in the midrange. From experience the power increase on my car didn't help much on my laptime improvement compared to the other mods I did.
