Default New Owner of Black MY02

Hi all,
I just purchased my MY02 yesterday. it's a pretty good car but came with 18's and i believe that's what's causing the car to lack so much power.

but that''s comming from a former supra driver so ya...

I just sold my MKIV Turbo supra for the s2k.. that car was a big bank account drain hole.. AND a gas guzzler..
so picked the light, sleek commuter.. yes it's goning to be my nice commuter car for summer.... in the winter it'll mostly be garaged except on the sunny days..

hope this forum is as good and informative as the supraforums.

Insang

Congrats and happy modding! I think you will find that this car is just as much of a money pit as any other car.

get some lightweight 17's or stock 16's and you'll feel a difference. once i switched from lightweight 17's to current lightweight 18's, i did notice slight loss in straightline performance and braking. i do have oem wheels for the track so current rims are more bling than anything else. congrats on your purchase.

Hey... I'll trade you stright out for the rims. I have the stock rims for the S2000. I have a MY00 and have the stainless steel ones. They are in great condition. send me a pic of your rims to nastinupe@yahoo.com

I have been thinking about getting some larger rims.
