The S2000 can give you much more enjoyment from a few major differences - Convertible Roof vs. fixed , Rear wheel drive vs. fwd, direct acting shifter vs. cable actuated shifter, very little body roll and near perfect weight balance vs. ? , HID lights vs. Halogens, no comparison on styling.

Are they still using the Macpherson struts on the Civic or did they go back to double wishbone ?.

Mac Front, Multi Link Rear. I replaced the oem sprigns with H&R's half inch drop puts me where i want to be with the fender gap on 18's. The performance increase with these springs was very noticeable. I was never into the tucked look. Plus I had my days of scraping everywhere i went when I had my EX Civic.

Here is a pic of it. The cheap braces were replaced with ASR stuff not too long before I sold it. It was running a 55 shot on stock internals fully upgraded fuel/igniton system and ran like a champ. Went through many bottles on this car and it still ran solid when I sold it. I think she's still out there somewhere...

Hmmm, I see... hehe... Gotta love the 55 Shots!

Well, I don't know. I think you should stick with your Civic. It seems that the Civic is more appropriate for your modding style and the car culture you came from.

That was my first car and I kept it for a very long time. I learned a lot with it what not to do and what I should do. It was kinda a toy for awhile because I had it for several months after I got my Si. With age comes different tastes and my tastes are very clearly moving towards S life. Straight lines aren't cutting it for me anymore, I need to get a little sideways, occasionally
