FDLOL!!!

What a fvcking poser! Why would he bother to lower the compression before installing the turbo!?!?

Nothing like turning your s2k into something that will be beaten by a miata!



Nothing like looking like you go fast when in fact you go slower than stock and look like a total idiot.

*cough* first turbo?

Besides, do you really think he could get down to 8.5 to 1? Going from 11.1? I mean, a head gasket and pistons will only take you so far.. Or am I mistaken here?

Hmm... maybe he started the project and realized that he didn't know what he was doing, but had frigged his car up so much he decided just to sell it?

It's probably someone just trying to make a quick buck. I doubt the car exists.

What's the difference between being almost turbocharged and almost supercharged?

I think that almost turbocharged is faster than almost supercharged. That seems like a heftry price for a car that will get trounced by a stock S2000.
