Hey Everybody
I haven't bought my S2000 yet, but have been reading here until my eyes bleed. I'm relatively new to performance imports (I have a 4th gen Prelude, but it's mostly stock), but not new to performance cars in general. I'm going to get an S2K in the near future, probably an 06+, and will likely put the Kraftwerks supercharger on it. I'm moving soon to an area with a track close by and would like to learn some road racing.
My current rides:
94 Prelude. It has been a great car and got me through school with very little drama. Now it needs paint and has almost 240,000 on the clock, so I'm gonna let go of it cheap and let somebody else enjoy it for awhile. Currently on jackstands in the garage waiting for a stupid spring so I can finish changing the water pump/timing belt.
06 Ridgeline RTL with moonroof/NAV. Great truck for what I need, which is light off-road and towing duty, as well as comfort on the road.
Sandrail. Mid-engine chassis with 2180 VW motor with dual Weber 44s and lots of go fast goodies, coilovers, close-ratio built 4-speed tranny, and suspension seats. About 200 HP give or take.
73 Corvette. Late model 350 block with Vortec heads, 10:1 compression, full roller valvetrain, Edelbrock carb/intake, aluminum radiator, rack and pinion conversion, QA1 adjustable shocks with coilovers in the front and a dual-mount composite spring in the rear, and some subtle bodywork mods (fiberglassed over some ugly vents, front bumper molded into body, etc.
Pre-suspension:
Post-suspension:
As you can tell, I need to clear out some space in the garage. I'm getting rid of the Prelude and likely the sandrail. Depending on how much I enjoy the S2000, I might even give up the Vette for the right price.
Anyway, a big thanks to the powers that be for running this site, and thanks to all of you for contributing the great info. I've learned a bunch here in the last few days, and will have a great resource when I get my S2K.
