Default S2k Newb from Columbus Ohio

Well My name is Rhett and I am from Columbus, Ohio. I do not currently own a s2000 but am planning on buying one in the next few months or so depending on if I deploy or not. I am now in the Air National Guard after Spending 5 Years active. When I was in high school I was huge into Imports. Not because of the Fast and Furious but because of how much power you could make out of something so small. In high school I had a '94 Metallic Blue Del Sol and loved it. Blew one motor at Mid Ohio and then did a LS/VTEC swap which I thought was pretty sweet at 17 years old making 200whp. I then blew that motor up when I was 18. Little bit of nitrous and being 18 can do that. I then bought a '02 Sentra SeR Spec-V. Did full bolt-ons and was not happy with it. So I traded it in for a 2001 Mustang GT with low miles in 2007. That was my baby for the next 3 years. With that I did Long Tubes with a full 3" Exhaust, Intake, Throttle Body, Intake Manifold, 4.10 Gear, 31 Spline axles, fully built suspension with adjustable shocks and struts (so I could race circuit, 1/8, 1/4 or on the Street) it had 150 Shot of Nitrous and made 375whp 472tq on the juice. I wanted to go with a single turbo. But ended up selling the car because of things going on in my life last year.

But now I wanting to do a import again. And I have decided s2000 is the way to go. Once I purchase one my goal is 700whp with in the first year. My Budget for the build will be $10,000 plus the cost of the car. all the work will be done by me and my friends so there will not be much in shop labor. Just in the Tune. So I am here to start planning my build for the F20 or F22 motor. Eventually I would like to build a LSx Motor to swap in and keep Forced Induction and see where we can take that. But for now baby steps.

So I am glad to be on the Forum and cant wait to see whats going on in the s2k world!

-Rhett
