Well over the weekend my girlfriend/soon to be finacee informed me that I need to sell my S2000. Her reasons were the obvious that most people would point out.
1.) It is not practical
2.) It has no room (kind of goes with #1)
3.) I only drive it maybe 6 months out of the year (plus pay insurance the other 6)
4.) Can not carry kids when we have them
5.) My 93 Del Sol is becoming less and less reliable each day (my daily, it has over 320,000 miles)
I am in the process of installing an AFI twin scroll turbo kit and am supposed to be getting tuned in a month. So my first question is should I install the kit, get tuned and then sell it? Or should I just part it, put it back to stock as close to possible, and sell the car?
My car is a my01 GPW with 64,XXX miles on it.
Now the next questions are about what car to get if I sell my S. Here are the cars that I am possibly looking into getting.
1.) Audi S4
2.) Audi A4
3.) Acura TL Type-S
4.) Acura TSX
5.) Subaru STI
She wants me to get something with 4 doors. I really want something is AWD or RWD and it has to be a manual, I can't stand driving automatics. I really don't want to go back to FWD but I have only really ever worked on Hondas. I would like some insight of some of the people that have possibly had to sell their S and just some opinions as to what I should do. I really don't want to finish installing the kit just to sell it a couple of months later and even possibly remove the turbo kit to part out.

i would say back to stock(ish) but dont install the turbo, sell that too.

What do you mean that Audi S4s aren't much anymore? Are you talking about price or performance?
i would cross shop a lot of cars at that range. but ive seen a decent example for 23 or so grand.
audizine.com is a pretty good site for information.

no offense but for me, doesnt matter how hot she is how much i love her, if she tells me "you need to sell your S2k" i would dump her rightaway. but since you are not in that case, i would get Audi S4, fastest out of all(its faster than STi? correct me if im wrong)
