If you buy parts for your S2000 based on brand alone, you'll have an expensive turd on your hands. Ignore brands, and choose your parts based on research.

Completely agree.

So if someone purchased an ASM widebody, crate engine, ITB setup, header, test pipe, exhaust, and ECU, they would have a turd?

I haven't done research on those parts, so I can't say for sure if it will be a turd, but I'm sure it would be way more expensive than it would need to be. I wasn't even aware that ASM made an ITB kit or ECU, but I seriously doubt they would be better than a Jenvey kit and AEM EMS.

If you're choosing simply by name, Spoon.

I like my turds. They're very fragrant and have a nice consistency and color.




Picture of other turd is still a work in progress:



...and swapped out the wheels to keep the Mugen-catalog theme going:

It depends on certain parts from both name brands. I love the Mugen hardtop and spoon hardtop. The only thing is spoon hardtop you need an aggressive set-up to make it flow. With Mugen you just need a simple yet clean set-up and you're golden. Both have their goods/bad but to me I prefer Mugen. k?thanksbye!
