o come on. only 30k total u spent on your car. not really that much.
i am currently a 1997 nsx owner. for nsx, a clutch can cost up to 3000, TB WP cost me 1700. s2000 is really cheap enough to main and modify.

i guess u didn't keep all the stock parts. otherwise, return to stock, sell it.

 

I'm interested in the roller chassis... you can price it to me both ways. Bare roller and full shell... I dont really need the hood / fenders / bumpers / ect but will consider it either way.

Sad to see you leave. If I buy the chassis I promise you will be proud of what I turn your baby into.

 

This number is be something that S2K turbo newbies may want to keep in mind. The goal here was to piece together a kit for as cheap as possible from an assortment of components. Please correct me if I'm wrong Justin, but I've followed pretty much everyone who posts in Forced Induction and if I recall correctly this was your situation.

For just around 10K, including options, you can go to InlinePRO and have them install their kit, a clutch, a headgasket, tune it all up and you get a warranty. Even if you wanted to piece together a kit with a tubular manifold, they would do it for you with as many of their parts as possible. There is nice sense of accomplishment in doing it yourself but this is an example of what can go wrong.

After ONE week and about 10G, I had a reliable 400 rwhp, 290 rwtq and a warranty. All said and done.

If you like projects, have a lot of patience and other cars to drive around in the meantime, by all means go for it. But if it's your daily driver (or only vehicle) a one stop shop makes so much more sense.

Justin, good luck with the part out. You'll be back.

I've gone custom a few times. I highly recommend that people buy a kit that's been around for a while. Custom can be good, but it's expensive and it can take quite a while to work out all of the bugs. Even a 'cheap' custom setup probably won't wind up any cheaper than a kit in the end.

You're very correct. I bought the kit with most of the issues worked out and then hit hard times, and upgraded along the way. But the hard work has been done!

 

It really depends on how much stuff you want Do you want the frame with stock suspension and 4 spare tires or do you want the driveline/brakes, etc? I'm working on pricing for the chassis with a few people - if you're interested PM me and let's talk

 

all im saying that if i were you man. i would just by a chill car because that proly what you need right now. just build a 240 on the side. The way imo you were heading as in building cars just causes headaches unless you have a lot of cash to do everything right. All im saying is good luck and i hope you make sure this time around to just buy a nice daily driver and build some other car on the side...
