Default Ahoy... thinking of buying this blown s2k....

Hey folks...

Im in the market for a new RWD car and I post on nt.com alot and someone pointed me to this car, was wondering what peoples thoughts are on it?

I've been looking at 350Zs and Z4s, but I'm more and more thinking about getting an s2k. I figure once boosted its damn near the perfect car...

Anyways, what sort of jam am I gonna be getting myself into buying a boosted s2k? Anything I should look out for? How is the tuning situation for these cars? Do I have to buy a piggyback or can I get a flash/reprogram?

Last two cars have been a 06 Si and a 08 MS3.. Wife stole the ms3 hehe

it depends on the quality of parts, tune, and how it was driven

it probably already has ecu management

The superchargers from my research seem to last a long time with proper maintenance done to your car.
Don't need engine management unless the boost is upped from the stock Comptech or Vortech kits.
