hey, my name is Teddy i live in NY. ok so i have been saving for 3 years to buy an s2000. finally its time i have been researching as much as i can i have 3 friends that i drive with one of whom has a twin turbo 350z, the other an rx-7 and the other with a single turbo supra. it seems that they have a wealth of knowledge about their cars but i cant seem to get enough input on s2k's so im seriously ready to buy one. it will only be used during summer and not in the rain. i found on the fs forums and need to be sure im not rushing into a mess lol the one im looking at is a red 2000, inline pro turbo kit with the 3mm head gasket the mileage is around 96K but was rebuilt 3000 miles ago all professionally done stage 2 clutch in a rebuilt tranny. everything has been updated i have been talking to the owner for a couple of weeks and is assuring me everything is ok but as other seasoned s2000 owners i need some feedback please if everyone agrees i will be purchasing it asap

 

1) Research all posts by the member.

2) Do you have to go turbo?

3) I personally would find a used AP2 S2K with less than 30K miles or a search for a barely used CR.

The decision is ultimately yours.

 

I would follow #3....IMO

 

well i would really love for it to be boosted dont we all lol for what hes asking and the money he put in it vs doing it myself seemed worth it....... me and my friend put the twin turbos on his 350 and what hes dumping into it just makes me sick lol every time i see him hes ordering something else



thanks for the input every little bit helps!!!!!!

 

Whenever I look for a car, my preference is for it to be as stock as possible so that I can make it/mod it in my own way.
It really gets me to feel even more connected with my car than if someone had already de-virginized her.... I mean my car

 

I saw that one in the for sale section. Looks pretty good, definitely a lot of money under the hood. Get it and race your friend with the TT 350, but be sure to post the vid.

 

yeah i hear ya i just hate headaches associated with "bigger projects" because im the type that hates when other people have to touch my car and if something goes wrong with this ill have no clue what to do so you are prob right



thanks!!!
