Thanks guys, I cant wait to get my S if i can get it at all. I'm hoping everyday. I'm sick of the turbo cars, drinks gas, bad throttle response with all the lag, and plus with the mods its less reliable. Once I get the S I'll have to ask your guys advice about what headers, intake and exhaust to get. Thanks

 

With those mods, NABAREV, you shouldn't be surprised that you pulled on an S2000.

[B]I have a 99 GSX. I really didnt expect to win. I have a bunch of mods. lets see, Hahn 16G turbo, Greddy IC pipes with type A bov, Jun flywheel, 3 inch exhaust from headers back (thermal), KnN intake, Fluidlyne radiator, and I had a Profec A Boost Controller but i uninstalled it. I'm trying to sell the car and I cant stop the car from overboosting. Something about the type of exhaust I have not having any backpressure and the turbo I have, I guess the ECU cant control the boost accuratly, I'm not sure. I can pretty much full 95 percent throttle the car without any problems, but eventually if i put it to the floor there is a fuel cutoff. Sucks. I also have suspension and rims. Actually i'm trying to sell the car so i can get an S2000. The S i raced was stock as far as I could tell. I dont care if my car is faster in a straight line than the S, its not that much quicker that I can tell, and i know i would have my a$$ handed to me in the corners. S2000 is an incredible car. Lots of respect right here. I notice the drivers are nice too, most people I race, are pricks. Funny how certain type of people buy certain types of cars.

 

I love the FUk DMV sig!

 

Thanks for the advice DJAuggie. I'll check the solenoid out and hopefully it will solve my problem. I cant hear any vacuum leak, but then again it doesnt overboost too much. I think the 2nd Gen eclipses have some kind of safety system in which the ECU recognizes if detonation will occur, and just cuts the fuel instead. But you are right, if it does happen I wont get too much for the car. Man I cant wait to sell it.
My rents are going to come to the States to help me pick out a new car, and the only problem is my mom hates convertables. She is so adament about how unsafe they are. Does anyone know the safety ratings of the S? Especially in rollover situations? It would help me out as far as convincing her. My dad would be cool about it i'm sure. ALso, does the available hardtop help in the event of a rollover? Thanks

 

oh yeah, i love the fuk the dmv sig too!

I don't know the safetey ratings, but insurance for me was only $5 more a month than my 2000 Accord. They're either both high, low, or in between.

[B]Yeah I'd love to hear about it also, seeing that I live in CT also and I too drive a silver Eclipse, just a GS... I raced last year a yellow one, what seemed modded, driven by an Asian guy. That race of course, went my way. In Wethersfield, to not name exact places incase this site is monitored...

You have a GS and you won a race with a yellow S2K?
