I am looking to buy an '05 S within the next month (was going to be this month until some freak backed into my car). Anyways, I really love the car but I don't want to be disappointed because my expectations are met. My goal is to have an S that can run 10s while still being a daily driver. Is this unrealistic? I already have my sights set on a turbo kit--Full-Race Stage 3. I figure that kit with built internals and slicks is good for 10s. Am I on glue? The kit will easily make 650whp (with built internals).

Before I go and buy this car, please provide me with whatever feedback you might have.

 

get it, you will love it, it will be fast, there are a few guys near there, if 650 is your goal, it can be done. talk with Diff Techniques...... your gonna need them

you could get the love fab g1 kit and be done with it....... Cody is awsome and has great fab skillz IMO.

The S2000 is a great car, but running 10's in one will be difficult while remaining streetable. If you're looking for a street car with a lot of drag potential go for an EVO. If you're dead-set on an S2k though, go for it!

 

Aint hating on the LovFab kit but my money is already on the Full-Race kit.

 

I hear ya. An EVO would make my goals easier...but that car is FUGLY, not to mention the reliablity sucks. I'd rather have a great looking car, like the S, that also is very reliable and the total ownership cost is far lower than an EVO.

 

^ I hear ya, I'll look into that full race setup.... good luck with it brotha!

 

I currently have a Civic with a K20A2 in it. Prior to deciding to get an S, my plan was to get the Full-Race Stage 3 turbo kit, which is good for up to 650whp (with built internals). Now that my wife is getting my Civic, and I am gettting an S, the Full-Race kit is still the way to go. The kit is without a doubt top-notch.

 

If you think a boosted 650hp S will be more reliable than a modded EVO you'll have quite a few surprises coming your way Stock for stock you are correct though.
