?!?!? What does your driving record look like? I'm 22 y/o in College and pay $104/month on the S2K... 280 is insane for a 2000 s2000... I was paying $178/month on a 2004 Z06

You can always upgrade at a later time and you'll already have the car.

 

Are those SSR's??? Part the car and seel me those rims.

 

Your right #1 and #4 are your best options. I would probably go with number 4... since you can save a bit of money and still have some fun. Though you won't have the power lvl of a turbo s2k but at least you can still be happy with steering, braking, and just the fun factor of the car. Unless... you don't care about those things that much then... go with option #1. Good luck with your choice.

 

Option 2. I already took Sunday off to tear your head down.
Take the turbo off and yank the exhaust manifold off whenever you get around to that. It will be a good start. That way we can just yank the alternator and IM back when I get there and get right to it.

200whp, c'mon you may aswell drive the car into a wall and collect the insurance money.

















JK.

 

Option 4

 

option 1, after all that ,money, hard working hours, get this baby running again.

 

man thats high how many tickets you got. oh ya where do you live in atlanta. i lived in alpharetta i dont remember seein a turbo red s2k anywhere
but lifes not all about HP or is it but in the future it wont really matter how fast your car was just pick what you think is in the best interest for your future and enjoy the 200 less hp

 

I live in downtown Atlanta by Ga State University where I go to school - I don't get outside the 285 perimeter too often

My insurance does indeed suck because of my record. I have a speeding ticket, two failure to stop at stoplight tickets, and two at fault accidents (both were BS though). I have probably 5 comprehensive claims as well, although they aren't supposed to affect your rate. I am also in the metro Atlanta area which I believe is one of the highest insurance areas in the country... AND this is still with me being OVER 25 and with Esurance.com insurance (probably the cheapest you can get).

Progressive insurance would be 450/month and Geico turned me down outright. It should go down a good bit in January when insurance renews though, as two tickets will be off of my record.

Oh and Chef - even if I go the N/A route, being able to change into the OEM gasket and going back to stock would be a HUGE help to at least getting my car running and I'd have a nice 5K worth of turbo parts to sell here on s2ki...

And no PCJJ, I've decided the SSR's are staying with me even if I ended up parting out the car - because I'd get a black AP2 after I graduate in May and I'd end up slapping them on the new S They are way too hot to get rid of!
