i definetely cant own both right now.
i dont have the money to maintain 2 sports cars and insure and inspect 2 sports cars AND satisfy my modding needs on both.
its either going to be:
s2k or evo
both are very good cars. VERY GOOD
and the evo is far from cheaply made for anyone who said they thought it might be. The interior is ok, but the car itself is bulletproof.
the s2k is just far far too sexy to leave my mind and has better mid corner speed than the evo. the evo has rediculous corner exit.
as much as i think the evo, overall is superior, im 75% leaning towards the S2000 again and only 25% leaning towards keeping the evo, but it changes 25% give or take every hour, LMAO!
more advise please.
one buddy told me to buy a 2000 dollar miata and keep the evo
but i dont want a miata that much

so i went for that cheapo $2000 miata.. which is actually really tossable and fun!..but doesnt have the sexy looks and speed of the s2k.. enough to get me by for now though..you should at least give it test drive.you might be surprised.
dont think i still dont want to own a S2000 as a second car someday though..just cant afford it right now!
go for the s2k..and get a beater 02 wrx! or.... mazda 323 gtx?(awd I believe)

the emanage gave me 15hp on that car...
should have kept it
btw, 15k, haha, nice deal
i sold it to the kid you bought it from for 17k, but it did include the 70RR
and that exhaust was like 1700 shipped from ajr

he cant have it
i ended up paying 15k for it, it had the emanage and hks on it, even though the car was tuned for a single 70rr. i had no need for the emanage at the moment, it only gave me more reason to go FI right away, and thats the last thing i needed. so i ended up selling the hks and emanage, i got another 70rr, and once the car gets back on the road for summer season a ht and some wheels are in line

i could probably tell you more than the kid who bought it from me.
when i sold it, it had:
spoon x brace
spoon rear tie bar
spoon front strut bar
spoon carbon/kevlar air duct
brand new k&n drop in
black H emblems
black chrome s2000 emblems
carbon single outlet exhaust valance
H&R sport springs
Stripped trunk
brand new s02 tires and new alignment
j's 70rr and emanage
i kept my J's knob and have that in my evo for the time being
also, if you decide to boost it or anything, and sell the 70RR, let me know, i want it, and im close to you

I was also in the same boat I just bought my ap2 about 6 months ago after telling my self many time to buy a evo 9. In the end I could not leave honda after 11 years of being faithful. I still think about getting a evo sometimes but my girlfriend would kill me if I sold my S2k. It was the car I met her in and she wants to grow old with it lol even thoTHERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I WILL LET HER DRIVE IT

Mostly everyone i've met through these forums has been very down to earth, a more mature crowd with driving priorities besides who can speed out of a high school parking lot fastest.

I have met a lot of S2k drivers and almost all are nice, on the other hand, Ive met a lot of EVO drivers and almost all are "douchy" as mentioned. lol 
Im not hatin tho, just stating from experience. They always brag about being faster. No $h!T.... Take off the turbo and AWD convert to RWD, See whos faster.
