Well guys I was never very involved posting wise in the forum, but I have always had a few friends who are dedicated to s2k's. I had a Laguna blue 06 for 3 years and loved it, but ended up moving and selling it. Long story short I am stuck between getting a rs4 ( had a b5 s4), m3 (had a e46 before), or another ap2 s2k. I will be moving to FL soon and am leaning much more towards the e90 m3 sedan or another ap2 s2k. I have never filled the void my s2k left, and really feel that would be the best thing to get. When I left the scene there really wasn't any performance available for the ap2 so was wondering what the best route would be if I went that route. I know there is a good shop down in FL that I have looked into with a reliable turbo kit for DD situations. Looking forward to making a move soon enough, and hopefully it will be back into an ap2.

 

Welcome back, soon also with an S2000 (hopefully!).
The best would be having an E90 m3 as a daily drive and a weekend toy turbo S.
If this is not affordable, you could always start with 1 out of these 2 (start with e90) and later on take your time for building a nice turbo'd S.

If both isn't an option then you will have to make up your mind for yourself
Ofcourse the E90 m3 would be more practical and probably also more reliable in stock form vs a turbo'd S.

 

If I were to get a simple kings performance stage 1 would it be that unreliable as a DD? I can't have both the e90 and the ap2 since I don't want to hassle with more than one car for at least the first two years after moving ( have a ion redline, ram 1500, and miata auto x right now). If I have to keep the s2k n/a for a while I can live with that as well, will probably just do a header back exhaust, cai, tune, and similar minor mods.

 

 

Always loved the rs4, but either way those are 3 good options.
